Singer Kahi appeared on tvN's 'Taxi' on April 26, where she revealed that she could have debuted as a soloist under YG Entertainment.

She said, "I wanted to become a singer, but I ended up debuting as a backup dancer first. There were so many complications. I think I was in like four groups. After first coming out in a group called Popo, I then rapped in a group called DVS, but that failed. After that, I moved agencies and debuted as S Blush. Even though I was able to go up on the Billboard chart at the time, I failed.
"At the time, I arranged a meeting with Chief Yang Hyun Suk of agency YG. We planned a solo album for me. It really seemed like a dream, but that evening, my previous CEO told me we should try again. Without fear, I called Yang Hyun Suk and told him, 'Thank you, but please let it be like it never happened.' And then what was made was After School. That took nine years."
Do you think she should have stuck with YG or made a good decision by joining After School?

Weird, I remember reading another interview from a while back where the agency wanted her to be a singer, but she loved dancing so much that she wanted to just be a dancer for the time being.

Kahi IS after school, without her it wouldn't have been what they were (during their golden years) glad she didn't go to YG

Nah she could have been in the dungeon for eeeeveeer or just leaving YG like gummy , so I think she took the right desicion of being in after school.

like what JYP said about Hani, if he went back in time and did not go of Hani from JYP back then, she may not have gotten where she is today, and gotten famous from the fancam.Everything happens for a reason, no one can say how Kahi would have turned out if she signed up under YG as a solo. After School could have had a different turnout with a different leader also
