The ladies of After School drew some attention after remarking that their members get along fine without any problems.

On the August 7th broadcast of Mnet‘s ‘Yoo Sae Yoon’s Art Video‘, Yoo Sae Yoon and the girls created a UCC to cheer on the South Korean Olympic team.

The girls went on to explain that UEE was busy with a different schedule, and the host joked, “Does After School have that too… Ae-Jin-Yo (modeled after T-Jinyo and Tajinyo)?”

He then referred to the bullying controversy surrounding idol stars and asked, “Is that why UEE isn’t here…?”, jokingly suggesting that UEE was also a victim of bullying.

However, the After School members burst into laughter and blurted, “When it comes to us, we get along just fine.”

Meanwhile, the girls transformed into Olympic gymnasts and boxers, shooting a supportive UCC for the Olympic team.
