Hello! I know that a lot of Pledis stans aren't super familiar with AS so I thought I'd make a brief Introduction!
A while back I made a playlist that'll get you up to speed, so here's the link (Fair warning, it's long, so you might want to read the post and then watch at your own pace):

Now Here's Some Info!
How many Members are there?
-There are currently 7 members, though there have been 11 total.
(Refer to the Image Below)
-The current students are: [First Row] Leader Jungah (2), Uee (6), [Second Row] Raina (1), Nana (2), Lizzy (3), E-Young (4), and maknae Kaeun (5).
-The Graduates are: [First Row] Former Leader Kahi (1), Soyoung (3), Jooyeon (4), and Bekah (5).
-At one point, another member, 'Nikki', a Pledis trainee, was meant to join the group. and made an appearance with AS in the Horror Film, 'White:The Melody of the Curse'. But, she withdrew before she could officially debut.
-AS currently has two Preschoolers, 'Kyungmin' and 'Minkang'.
-Hello Venus members: Hyelim, Ara, and Yoonjo, were all originally meant to debut with AS.
Sub-Units?
AS currently has 3 Sub-Units.
-Orange Caramel: Raina (Leader), Nana, and Lizzy. (Pre-Debut 17 often served as dancers for their live performances.)
-A.S. Red: Kahi, Jungah, Uee, and Nana. (Though not officially, announce, it is presumed that Kaeun will replace Kahi.)
-A.S. Blue: Jooyeon, Raina, Lizzy, and E-Young. (17's S.Coups served as a back up dancer for their single 'Wonder Boy'.)
After School or AfterSchool?
-Both are correct.
Fanclub Name?
-Playgirlz and Boyz
Official Color?
-Yellow
How long have they been around?
-Since 2009.
What is their concept?
-AS has a school girl concept that makes use of an Admission and Graduation system. New students are meant to be admitted into AS, learn through their experience in the group, and move on to bigger and better things once they've graduated!
What is AfterSchool's Genre?
-AS has many genres. In the beginning, their main inspiration was the Pussy Cat Dolls, and their music had a lot of Hip Hop influences. Their next big single was a EDM Ballad in the form 'Because of You'. After that they moved on to a marching band concept, a pop ballad, and then worked their way into an electronic song with some elements of dubstep. Their Japanese songs tend to be more electronic in nature, but they've also worked with groove and disco.
What makes AfterSchool Different?
-AS is well know as one of the best dancing KPop girl groups (they're undefeated in Dance Battles), as well as the most varied musically. But what really sets them apart is their dedication to learning new skills. Thus far they have had 3 special comebacks featuring: Drumline, Tap Dance, and Pole Art.
Have they won any Awards?
-Sadly, despite being a well respected and critically acclaimed group, AS has not won many awards. When they debuted, they took nearly every Rookie award, but not much recognition has come their way since. Only one of their songs, 'Because of You' has ever won on a music show (they got the Inkigayo triple crown).
