經紀公司27日下午透露：“After School和日本頂尖唱片公司簽訂了合同，最快將於3月末開始在日本的活動。”接著還表示：“現在正在計畫推出新歌或是韓語專輯的日語版本。並且南韓和日本的活動將並行進行。”
最近由於KARA和經紀公司之間的矛盾，歌謠節相關人士普遍認為現在南韓歌手進軍海外市場遇到了阻礙。對此，Pledis方面表示：“確實因為東方神起和KARA的事件，對於南韓流憂慮的呼聲也越來越大。After School將以對南韓流正確的認識努力展開活動。”
目前After School為了進軍日本正在學習日語。同時也重新開始在南韓國內的活動，將進行國內外緊湊的日程計畫。另一方面，After School於去年1月在Billboard日本音樂獎上獲得了K-pop新人獎。因為S-line的身材和充滿力量的舞臺表演，After School已經贏得了很多日本粉絲們的關心。
Girl group After School will be advancing to Japan in March.
On January 27th, Pledis revealed to Money Today that, “After School has signed a contract with Japan’s best record label and will start activities in Japan at the end of March. We are planning on creating a new Japanese song or using After School’s current albums. After School will focus on promoting both in Korea and Japan.”
The Korean music industry representatives believe that because of the disagreement between KARA and DSP Media, Korean artists are having a hard time advancing overseas.
In reply to this, Pledis answered, “It is true that because of the Dong Bang Shin Ki and KARA issue, there have been a lot of unpleasant rumors about the Korean Wave. After School will do their best so that overseas fans will get the correct image of the Korean Wave.”
Currently, After School members are studying hard to learn Japanese. Along with their advancement to Japan, After School is planning on restarting their activities in Korea at the same time, thus creating a tight schedule for members to participate in both Japanese and Korean activities.
On the other hand, last January, After School won the “K-pop New Artist of the Year” award at the Billboard Japan Music Awards. Because of their slim S-line body and powerful performances, After School is receiving a lot of interest from their Japanese fans.

Earlier today, Pledis Entertainment released a mini music video for Orange Caramel’s ballad “Not Yet…”
Pledis Entertainment had tweeted a link to the video, and wrote:
“A song that shows off Orange Caramel’s outstanding singing ability! At the recording of ‘Still…’!“
In the video, the members of Orange Caramel are seen passionately singing to Raina’s lyrics.
While these girls are best known for their bubble-gum pop songs such as “Magic Girl” and “A~ing,” this ballad track gives them an aura of maturity.
