Orange Caramel’s (오렌지 캬라멜 ) “Magic Girl” (마법소녀/魔法少女): These girls are so cute and sweet, they’re cloying!

After School (애프터 스쿨) is pulling a Super Junior and has spawned a subgroup: Orange Caramel (오렌지 캬라멜 )!

The group is composed of Raina (레이나), Nana (나나), and Lizzy (리지), the three youngest members of After School.

Remember that behemoth of an SAT word, “cloying”? It’s the perfect descriptor for these girls and their cutesy cutesy candy dance style. If you’re into it, more power to you! Actually, I see this doing very well in an anime OST and on the Japanese charts. In fact, there’s some talk on the blogosphere about Orange Caramel being a plagiarism of a Japanese song!

PS: Is it just me, or are those American Girl dolls in their promo pictures?

I think I’m going to stick to After School on my playlists.

BTW, if you’re wondering who that boy in the video is, it’s CNBlue’s Minhyuk.
