H αλήθεια είναι ότι υπάρχει μεγάλη διαφορά ηλικίας ανάμεσα στην Kahi και την maknae που είναι η Lizzy για την ώρα.Η Kahi πριν μπει στις AS ήταν σε ένα άλλο γυναικείο συγκρότημα που έκανε ντεμπούτο στην Αμερική μαζί με την Son Dambi,η οποία αποχώρησε λίγο πριν το ντεμπούτο.Και οι δύο γνωρίζανε τον ιδρυτή και πρόεδρο της Pledis,που ήταν παλιά manager της BoA.H Dambi έκανε σόλο ντεμπούτο αλλά η Kahi αποφάσισε να δημιουργήσει ένα συγκρότημα.Τα 4 πρώτα μέλη τα επέλεξε η ίδια προσωπικά.Κι έτσι έγιναν οι AS.Μάλιστα όταν έκαναν ντεμπούτο τις θεωρούσαν από τα πιο old συγκροτήματα κι έτσι άρχιζαν να προσθέτουν άτομα για να μειώσουν τον μέσο όρο ηλικίας του συγκροτήματος.Γι'αυτό και ενώ η πρώτη maknae ήταν η Bekah τώρα υπάρχουν 3 άτομα νεαρώτερα από εκείνη.

ooohh....

Καλά όλες οι γυναίκες θα σκοτώνανε για το σώμα της Kahi νέες ή μεγάλες.Αλλά φαντάζομαι τι γυμναστική και τι διατροφή έχει κάνει τόσα χρόνια!Όπως θα λέγαμε και δω μάλλον δεν έχει φάει κάνα μουσακά XDDDDD

Απ' το φετινό Star Dance Battle..του ρίχνει του Leejοοn πόσα χρονάκια κι όμως εχει κορμί φιδίσιο κ χάρη 20αρας..<33

Δε μου άρεσε ο χορός τους.Μου φάνηκε σα να βαριότανε η Kahi.Έπρεπε να την βάλουν να χορέψει με τον Chansung.

TRANSLATION OF KAHI’S FIRST SOLO MINI ALBUM: Please RT (http://www.twitlonger.com/show/90u80r) it out so everyone knows Park Kahi better. If you have the album, PLEASE take it out so you can follow it better. Please take out the whole twitlonger including all these just so people know the reason behind this translation. A simple credit of energywen@twitter will be sufficient.

Please know that I am NOT Korean. I am learning Korean but since no one translated the album, I decide to do it basically because I want to know more about Kahi and want more people to know about how amazing she is. It took me on and off 2 days, about 15hours of translating, something that probably can be done by a Korean within couple of hours. But…it’s for Park Kahi. It’s worth it.

Special thanks to Dongie, Onion and Jeff for checking some of my sentences. <3

With “words that beautifully describes female singer”, “young beautiful woman”,

I am Kahi.

Two.
My beginning, and…

Beginning…When did I start…?
The summer when I am 20 when I jumped out of the house and took the train?
Otherwise…The autumn when I am 20 when I met MiAe unnie while dancing a crazy dance?
The Las Vegas stage that was like a mirage?
Otherwise…when the After School members gathered around to prepare for the stage…the summer when I was 29?
Debut stage? The moment when I received an award?………………

My beginning…! It seemed as though it begun 12 years ago. If that time did not happen, there will not be the Kahi now… Right…my beginning started with dance. Because I really like to dance, it made me want to be a singer. At that time, I chased after dancing like a child. Without any thoughts…My 20s was spent on continuous waiting…continuous failure after failure…when tears and pain had become a part of me…every single moment, I am that desperate.

The sunlight that came through the studio’s window which my body never failed to feel…
The bass that is ringing in the practice studio…
The secret stories between us during the days when we laughed and cried together…
The innocence of the laughter shared over a cup of cold coffee.
The cut-throat competition between the trainees…

And in the midst, the greatest opportunity in my life! After-School!!

Because we have confidence in ourselves, every member has her own kind of charms. So after After-School was formed, together with Jungah, we took the first step out on the same stage with our friend and fellow label-mate Dam Bi. Up till now, I can still feel the nervousness. After the nerve-wrecking first performance, After-School received a lot of attention from everyone and that spurred us to train even harder.

2009, January 17th.

The exceptional debut stage. Said to be Korea’s Pussycat dolls, we had so much fun on stage. Our tough training days were rewarded when people started to give us bit by bit of love. Our voices came together as one for After-School. As well as the fans who sang together with our songs.

Every time their voices got louder, After-School members including myself felt as though we received a kind of positive energy that we can’t explain. The amount of time that you can see us on stage is a maximum of 3 minutes…and in this short time, the fans who gave us the most passionate support, whose presence alone made my heart overflow with emotions. Right now, the dong-saengs who are with me reading this, my precious gems that made this person named Park Kahi shine her brightest. Even during the happy times, the team came before me being a good unnie so I continuously pushed myself as well as the members. I guess these words seemed to express my role in After-School. With the additions of the new students, Uie, Raina, Nana, Lizzy, After-School is reborn into a group that’s even more charming and fresh that will go forth even though the road up ahead isn’t easy……

Especially with “Bang”, it’s the type of song that I had always dreamt of performing on stage of. When I watched the movie “Dream Line” 4 years ago, I got goose bumps and it left such an impact that I was beyond thrilled. And so I vowed to show a good drum performance on stage someday.

In fact, when we were discussing about the debut album’s concept, it was being rejected because it was a challenge that’s too broad and dangerous. But to make “a stage that only After-School is able to do! Up to standards, charming performance!”, once the boss gave his assurance, we started learning drums. Snare drums. When our fingers start to bleed, the pains from our joints due to the bruising, we were rising little by little, set out to amaze the world. Before the filming of our music video…I went to the mountains near Kyeong-gi Do and ate there, danced there, practiced my drums there and slept there. For a few days, those 4 actions were all that I did!! So the moment when we comeback! BANG! We did it! Feeling so so excited. The fingers that bled shall not make them stiff…the drum sticks shall not fly away…the contact between the drum and the bruises on the thighs shall not be visible…Even though we are very nervous when we first begun, we had made the performance a breath-taking one. Was it because this performance is something that I had dreamt for a long time?

Me, at this moment, I thirst for the stage…

After-School!! This group, even when I become an old lady, holding my children in my arms in front of the TV, be able to shake my hips to the music just a little, I want this group to continue on. Of course the road ahead is still far, but we, for our After-School, now and in the future, we will continue to work hard. The new addition into the group is waiting for the new album and now…all of our hearts are filled with the passion for singing and dancing, and will hopefully always be filled with our original resolution. Now, leaving the team temporarily to go solo…feeling scared and burdensome…the responsibility is even greater. However, I have people who love and believe in me…the passion in my heart is surging! And I have a stage waiting for me…! Even though I have so many flaws…I will work harder and harder and harder for the stage that is only for Park Kahi.

To work towards singing a better song.. To work towards being able to represent a dance move even more beautifully…
To be able to play what my minds dictates on the guitar and piano…
To work towards letting my songs be able to lead people into crying or smiling…
To work towards being able to give life a flavor with the songs that I create on my own…
Maybe my hardwork…
Can’t even be completed when I am a 60 years old granny………………………………….
I will not stop.

Three.

—

Four.
My neew beginning.

When I first started dancing…I braided my hair Reggae style and wore huge pants…tight top coupled with Timberland Walker shoes…and most of the music I listened to was by black musicians. Brandy and monica, usher, destiny’s child, Madonna, R.kelly, Eve, baby face, ginuwine, janet Jackson, toni blaxton, luther vandross, musiq.

Listening to cold play and maroon5 let me understand more about band music. All these awesome artistes had broadened my taste in music. And blues, jazz, funky, acoustic, etc made me felt that I am living alone in the world of music. Every day, I learned something new and it’s so exciting that I don’t even feel hunger.

If listening to these types of music can make me happy, I really hoped that my music can reach out to all over the world. Memorable songs. I really salute both Lee MunSae senior and Jang HaeJin senior. When I listen to the songs by these two seniors, I would think of having such vocals…I would think that music is a person’s friend…I would wish to have my own music containing my philosophy.

The story of the past 10 years…during this time, there are many changes happening to me. I have had the times where my scars have caused me to rot as well as times where recovery was impossible because the wounds became infected. During this time, music helped me. Even if all the music that I know may not even be 0.001% of all the music in the world but the music I know… and the music that I listen to are precious to me.

I want to know more. I want to learn more.
I want to live like an artiste who’s crazy for music.

Some may say that I am a hard-line dancer to which I will not deny. It’s correct that I am good in dance… but… I am a greedy person that isn’t content by just being good in dancing.

While preparing for this solo album, I realize it seemed that I need to be even greedier. I put in a lot of thoughts on music, dance, song, even hair, makeup, and outfits. To be able to take part in creating the album is a work that made me really happy. Work of creating something from nothing. Even though all my suggestions were accepted, I am not After-School’s leader, but I am Park Kahi, my first solo album in which it’s filled with my colors, which I took part, which I created, and it’s process is a thrilling one. And so more and more…now…the excitement is killing me. Hahaha…

Since starting on my first solo album, I want to share the music that I love the most with the people that I love the most. The album that’s Park Kahi’s!! The music that’s Park Kahi’s!! I want to learn something more than music, not because of the pressure of being a leader of a group, but through my own will.

To make people shake their hips with my dance,
To make people want to wave their hands and sing,
To make people smile with guitar and piano

Therefore, I have to make the stage fill with my emotions. This is my one wish. Not the music that is made for others…but pray that the music is one that everyone is able to relate to.

Let’s!! Do!! It!!

After School’s Kahi talks about her ideal man and marriage



In a recent interview with Asia Economy, After School’s Kahi revealed the traits of her ideal man, as well as the age she hopes to get married by.

She began, “I‘m not dating anyone at the moment, but I’d like to meet someone who knows how to respect women.”

When asked about her ideal type, she replied, “Someone who can warmly hold me in their arms, and is also dependable. I’d like for that person to always be confident with their work and genuinely enjoy it.”

On her marriage plans, she revealed, “I don’t have immediate plans, but I’m thinking I should get married within the next four to five years. I’ll be 36 or 37 then, so I should be married by then.”

After School’s Kahi recently revealed how she maintains her nice abs!

On March 3rd, SBS’s “One Night of TV Entertainment” looked into the star method of obtaining the ‘ultimate body’, and they used Kahi as an example of perfect abs.

During the interview portion of the feature, Kahi revealed her methods on having nice abs, “I work out focusing more on my waist and bottom rather than on my abs. By doing so, the abs will shape nicely.”

While introducing Kahi though, “One Night of TV Entertainment” made the mistake of putting the subtitle of “Ga In” instead of “Kahi”, leaving fans disappointed over the identification error.

Who do you think has the best abs in the biz?

After School’s Kahi revealed how she got her breakup notice from her boyfriend.

On SBS “Night By Night”, Kahi revealed, “We had spent a fun time together on our date. However, once we got in the car, my boyfriend suddenly told me that we should break up.”

She added, “I asked him why he would say that. He then told me that this wasn’t all of a sudden. I told him that I can pretend that I didn’t hear about this and that we should spend some time thinking about it. However, that guy coldly stated that I heard him say that we should break up.”

Kahi then revealed her feelings about that situation, “Once I got home, I called my friend and started crying. I was really hurt back then.”



allkpop

After School’s Kahi revealed, “Marriage? I could have if I wanted to.” The star then truthfully confessed that she had rode on the hypothetical ‘bus’ towards marriage.

On March 7th, singer Hong Kyung Min, who also guested on SBS’s ”Night After Night“, started the conversation with a metaphorical question. “You are waiting for the bus at the bus stop and one bus arrives. However, it’s not the bus you were waiting for. Then does that mean you didn’t ride the bus, or couldn’t ride the bus?”

This prompted the MC’s to ask Kahi, “Why haven’t you been able to marry yet? Did you also just let the bus go?” Kahi replied, “I was already riding the bus, but I was contemplating on whether or not to get off the bus.”

With the studio reeling with shock from her surprise confession, Kahi continued, “To achieve my dream, I boldly stepped off that bus. Currently, I am riding on a new (singer) bus”. It was an answer that drew applause and respect from the crowd.

Meanwhile, Hong Kyung Min received sympathy for his answer, after he revealed, “Kahi-sshi is okay. For me, I was diligently riding the bus, but the bus let someone else on and left. If you experience a situation like that, then riding a bus altogether can become frightening.”

Kahi for IsPlus + See what she carries in her purse

A complex that Kahi has:

“My hands and my feet…my sisters teased me plentifully…Once I wanted to hide both my hands and feet”

When asked how her personal style is different from her stage outfits:

“I still don’t know a lot of brand names (luxury items) really well… I mostly do simple vintage-style shopping, the overlapping with different styles is still far from me”

How she maintains her figure:

“It takes real effort to maintain and I tend to gain weight in my legs. I dance a lot but don’t do a lot of aerobic exercise like running versus strengthening training. I do strengthening exercises and focus on certain areas”

On her eating habits:

“In the morning I have dance practice and work hard, then I eat really well. When I eat ramen plus drink then go to sleep I wake up with a swollen face, some say it makes me more beautiful.”

Kahi was hungry and happy during her dancing days
In a new interview Kahi talked about her days as a dancer. Even though she went through tough periods she still had a lot of fun and was happy because she was doing what she loved. The interview started with Kahi talking about running away from home at twenty years old:

“…at that time I got the idea and was too afraid to think. I Haphazardly got on a train from Daegu to Seoul…”

Through Kahi’s perseverance and hard work she was cast in music videos and went on tour with famous artists once she made a name for herself as a notable dancer. Kahi’s usual routine when she first started dancing:

“…I would go to the practice room, clean and stay overnight to practice which was often repeated. I didn’t have money for the subway fare and could not buy rice. But, even though I was hungry I was happy. The struggling stage was more romantic you can say.”

Fans of After School know the group wouldn’t be the same without Kahi as the leader. What would Kahi be doing if she didn’t debut with After School?

“Before my debut with After School I was a part of the group S-Blush which disbanded…I was going to go study abroad and abandon being a singer and professional choreographer but a representative from my agency (Pledis) told me to seize the time and helped pull me through.

Translation:
[Y-Star] After School’s Kahi is back with a new challenge after releasing her solo album and promoting her dance title track “Come Back You Bad Person”. ‘Star news’ is here to do an interview with her and her new challenge.

Hello to all the viewers of ‘Y-star’ I am Kahi, nice to meet you.

With a sexy image, powerful performance, After School’s leader Kahi received lots of love for her stages! This time round, she isn’t reaching out to her fans because of her stages but for a movie~

She is the ambassador for the movie “Hanna” which will be shown in Korea in April.

Q. What are your thoughts about being the ambassador for the movie?
A. I am really happy. Because I am a singer, I am new to the movies section so I believe it will be something really fun for me. Really thankful (for the chance).

Even when she was a backup dancer up to her activities in After School, Kahi always present the best performances! She presents to the audience her charming dance performances, coupled with her amazing singing and even rap. Her abs and perfect body proportions captured everyone’s attention.



The charismatic Kahi on stage come together perfectly with the action movie, Hanna’s female lead’s female warrior image.

I am associated with the image of a tough female warrior. Because of this, I am rather happy when I heard of the proposal from this movie. I think I can do well for action too.

Q. The secret behind your charismatic stages?
A. I research into how to show my emotions well on stage and always calms my mind down before performing. There’s nothing really different.

She had put in a lot of efforts to be a good ambassador for “Hanna”

Just looking at the still cuts made me anticipate the movie. I think it will be thrilling to watch the action of how a young girl up against all the people who is after her.

I really wish to have the charisma to have an image of a normal so-nyuh and suddenly being able to transform into a secret weapon with the action moves.

Kahi expressed her wish to be an actress.

Q. Did you think of doing action acting after this?

A. Like Saoirse Ronan in ‘Hanna’, I wish to act like the female lead from the movie. And in Korea, the representative female actress in action movies will have to be Ha Jiwon. I wish to act like her in this kind of action movies.

Q. If there’s a chance for you to act, what kind of character do you wish to portray?
A. I wish to try a comfortable image that is slightly comical which everyone can enjoy watching to.

Looking forward to actress Kahi~ But before that, she is going to appear as After School member first

Q. Future plans?
A. I will be working on the premiere of ‘Hanna’. And then it will be the release of After School album. Therefore, I will be working hard to prepare for the comeback and please anticipate it.

It is really good to look at her working hard to show a better side of herself. We will really anticipate her future activities.

The movie ‘Hanna’ will premiere on April 16th. It will be really interesting. Let’s watch the thrilling action movie together.

The star tweeted, “Hair color change. I tried a darker color for the first time in a while. What do you think? Do you think it matches me? It’s still awkward for me! I hope everyone has a delicious dinner and completes their day safely.”

Kahi to graduate from After School

Pledis Entertainment has revealed that After School‘s Kahi is “graduating” from the group.

Spoiler:

The agency sent out two press releases today regarding Kahi’s departure leading to confusion. After the first statement was sent out, the agency was flooded with questions from the media as well as fans, and in the midst of the chaos, Pledis incorrectly responded that Kahi would be promoting solo but will not be leaving After School.

However, shortly after realizing the miscommunication, the agency issued out another statement confirming that Kahi is indeed leaving the group and apologized for the confusion created earlier.

After School debuted in 2009 with the concept that members would eventually “graduate” out of the group. Leader and member Kahi will become one of its graduates.

Kahi will participate in the group’s June 17th encore concert in Tokyo, and finish up remaining promotional activities in Japan, which end this September, before preparing as an official solo artist.

As After School’s Japanese tour concert will be her last as a group member, Kahi plans to hold special solo performances during the encore concert as a way to thank fans.

Kahi stated, “To all the After School fans who have given so much love and to my members who have cried, laughed, and suffered with me since we debuted, I thank you all so much.” It’s reported that she’s planning to prepare for her solo album and study acting. She added, “I’ll try my best so that you can see a new side of Kahi.”

Kahi was known as a female singer with excellent dancing skills even before she debuted with After School. She also recently stepped into the acting world on KBS‘s ‘Dream High 2‘.

After School will be releasing their 5th mini-album on June 21 KST. New member Gaeun will also be making a debut with their comeback.
