After School's Soyoung

It's unfortunate but Soyoung has now officially withdrawn or if you want, graduated from After School.

Yoo Soyoung's lawyers stated on the 29th:

"Soyoung's health has deteriorated due to her activities as a celebrity, therefore she will be quitting the group and fully focusing on her education."


The decision was apparently made by Soyoung while she was on a break recently. They will now discuss and settle all legal issues with Pledis Entertainment.

Soyoung stated through her lawyers:
"Thank you for all of the love and support during my activities as a celebrity. In the future I would like to greet you all with a brighter and healthier look."


Pledis Entertainment also apologized and explained that they could not come out with an official announcement earlier due to issues that were not completely settled.

Hopefully this is not the last we will see of Soyoung, but for now, let's all wish her the best of luck. All eyes will now turn to Pledis Entertainment on whether a replacement member will be drafted for the now 5-member group and whether this will affect the originally scheduled mini album release in November.

Damn IT! After School was my favorite new groups during this year, and its sad to see one member having to leave. If only Uee was the one to leave. I hope Soyoung to get well and maybe if there is a chance she’ll comeback.

Guess it’s sad, but she made a personal decision so it’s seems to be a nice clean break.
Don’t follow After School much , but I hope she gets healthy again soon.
Also, isn’t After School a graduate group? Like girls graduate and are replaced…bet they replace her…not that they need to 5 is a nice number…

WHAT?!! Nooo!! She was one of my favorites in AS too… damn.
Argh, first Sunghee leaves KARA, Jay leaves 2pm, now Soyoung leaves AS? *sigh*

What’s happening to all my favorite idol groups? I hope everything goes well for her, and I hope this isn’t the last time we’ll see her…

ayasan's avatar

Seriouly the whole I hate UEE fan club started to be very annoying I mean I cant believe that some are actually upset that UEE is doing well in her career for UEE to be appearing in every magazine cover , tv show , seeing her in ads , drama and featuring in songs means she is doing well in her career and personally this is not a reason for me to hate her or dislike her just b/c she is in everywhere

to the all haters guys u must accept the fact out of all girls who debut this year UEE is the most successful one and the reason behind its b/c public loves UEE and they want to see her all the time beside Ive seen the girl in shows and she is so sweet

and about SoYoung leaving after school Im really sad and upset that she is leaving the group b/c I really like her and I hope her agency and the girls will convince her to stay b/c without her after school will never be the same T_T
