Hey!!! I got into After school recently and I'm loving most of their singles and the first love album. Could you recommend other worthy b-sides or albums that I should listen to? Please and thanks in advance.
Tbh their best Korean b-sides are from First Love. Dressing Room or Love Beat should honestly have been follow up singles during that era ugh.
Playgirlz from their first mini:
And Virgin from Shampoo which Flashback posted are probably their best b-sides from their previous albums and minis.
Raina and Jung Ah's duet from the Flashback mini was pretty good though.

If you haven't listened to their Japanese discography then you need to remedy this asap. Bang Diva, and Because Of You have different instrumentals (Kahi's rap in the former sucks though which stops it from topping the Korean version with Bekah), and their other singles slay.
Except Lady Luck. It's an awful track don't listen to it.
Shh, Heaven and Dilly Dally are my personal trinity from their Japanese songs. I don't like Dress To Kill (the album) as much as everyone else does because it has too much engrish and spoken word masquerading as 'rapping'.
These are probably my favourite non-single tracks from that album (Spotlight's chorus saves it from the wack 'you know, don't you know, you know' and whisper rap dispersed between the verses, and the 'woooaahhwoooh, yeah ooooh' from Raina after the first chorus ).
I don't talk about their first Japanese album Playgirlz much because it's forgettable and bland.

In January of 2016, A was arrested for planting marijuana in a flower pot at her house located in Gangnam. Her case was sent to court, and it was also revealed that A has smoked marijuana last December and April of this year. As a result, the court demanded A to pay a fine of 3,000,000 KRW (approximately $2,639 USD).
However, a more severe penalty was ordered by the appeals court as her initial penalty of a fine was considered too light. A is now sentenced 6-month penal servitude, 1-year probation, and 80 hours of community service.
Meanwhile, A is revealed to have debuted as the vocalist of a 6-member band, and after departing from the band, she returned as a member of a girl group in 2015.
