After School to debut in Japan next year

After School will be joining the Hallyu wave in Japan next year after receiving many love calls from Japanese agencies. Representatives of Pledis Entertainment revealed, "We're currently holding discussions with a few Japanese agencies over the group's debut in Japan next year." The girl group already has a considerable fanbase in Japan, as they won the rookie award at the "Billboard Japan Awards" this past January, and even participated in the OST for "Tokyo Girls" with "Dream Girl." The group's sub-unit, Orange Caramel, has a strong fanbase there as well. The representative continued, "Their sexy and sophisticated performance style are hard to see amongst Japanese girl groups. We fully believe that they'll do well." -- Source: Sports Korea via Nate
