Members are called students and when members leave they 'graduate'. There group is like a school where members can graduate and enroll at any time. So when one member 'graduates' new members will be 'enrolled' in a natural manner. This ensures After School will always be around. The original 5 members were Kahi, Bekah, Jungah, Jooyeon and Soyoung. Kahi picked the original members of After School herself. When they first started out they were known ad the Korean Pussycat Dolls.
