Oh sure, I've liked them lots before (as witnessed by my earlier posts about them here and there) but for the most part, they were a band that (though I loved their singles like Ah!, Rip Off and Flashback), it was far more about my infinite love of Lizzy (via Running Man) than about the group as a whole.
Somehow, the catalyst that sparked this newfound love was when I was trying to find a nice live version of their (awesome) song BANG! to show my friend Car, as I thought it one of their most visually stimulating songs (still do, in fact)... Well, I DID find some live performances, but more importantly, during that quest, I came upon a whole plethora of Afterschool goodness- super cool Music Videos, Sexy Live Performances, and best of all, a whole bunch of Variety Shows and Specials with ENGLISH SUBTITLES!!! YES!!! I found myself watching everything hour after hour, and it was this (in particular the wonderful MBC show PLAYGIRLZ SCHOOL) that made me learn to really LOVE Afterschool and pushed them over into my Top Ten of K-pop Favorites!
