New girl groups these days normally don’t receive as much attention unless they’re from big companies. However, rookie group Free Star caught my eyes because they resemble a popular girl group that we all know: After School.

Okay, so we all know that ’sexy and fierce’ sell like hotcakes these days in the Kpop industry. But looking back, one of the few girl groups that kept their ’sexy and fierce’ image from the very start is After School. Since that image has become popular, Free Star also follows the trend.

If you look at their album cover, the whole short shorts, high-knee socks and baseball cap deal has been coined by After School since their ‘Diva’ days. Now I’m not trying to say they’re copying After School style…completely, but even the hair style looks familiar and the middle top girl even looks like JooYeon!

For their debut song ‘Diss’, don’t you find a similar hip-hop/pop vibe? Either way, at least that’s my opinion on this new group. Of course we can’t judge them fully now, but what do you guys think?
