After School held their ‘Encore Playgirlz Tour’ on June 17th and sadly it was also the time for Kahi to say farewell.

The event was held in Japan and After School performed a number of their popular songs including “Slow Love”, as well as announced Orange Caramel’s Japanese debut this fall.

However, it was definitely Kahi’s day, as she performed a number of special stages from her solo album and with A.S. Red.

After the girls performed their last number, Kahi gave every girl a hug before saying goodbye and thanking the fans, staff and group members, also promising to continue supporting After School and Orange Caramel.

Afterwards, After School’s Japanese Facebook page posted a picture of all the girls backstage along with Kahi’s goodbye message, which read:

”Thank you so much for today. I won’t forget this day [and] that everyone has always shown so much love. All of the fans have been so kind to support After School. To everybody, every member of the staff, truly thank you very much. Thank you for the many years that will come for After School in the future. I will cheer everyone on to do well! After School, Orange Caramel, and on.”

After School will be making their Korean comeback with their 5th maxi single “Flashback”, which is set to release online on June 20th and hit shelves on June 21st.

So sad to see Kahi go… Best of luck to her!
