6 Members Weren't Enough?[!]

Korean girl group After School can't stop changing. They had just debuted this year in January and have gone through major changes that regular groups take at least a year to go through. They had made a huge impact with their first single 'Ah' with the 5 original members Park Gahee [Leader], Kim Jung-Ah, Yoo Soyoung, Lee Jooyeon, & Bekah defying the original sterotype of goody goody girly girl groups before them. It was great to see a change in that part of the music industry. But then recently they had added new member UEE [Kim Yoo Jin] and released a second single 'Diva'. Which got mixed critiques of being very catchy and dance-able to flames of how the group was transitioning to something too cute.

More recently they [as a 6 member group] released their third single as a remake of popular Japanese girl group Morning Musume's Love Machine. It was well recieved by fans as it was commented as a 'refreshing version with a touch of the 21st century'. Prior to this news released that After School was allowed to 'graduate'. Meaning they could leave the group if they wished too. Is Pledis Entertainment trying to make a Korean Morning Musume!? That was the worst thing they could possibly do to the group!

To make matters more serious. After School are said to be getting yet another new member! As if 6 weren't enough. & the original 5 were perfectly enough to satisfy! Pledis Entertainment must not know what they're doing. Sure After School is gaining major popularity across Asia, but is it worth losing their image that fans loved so much?
