After School, NU’EST, Hello Venus leaders exchange albums and snap a photo backstage

A new photo of After School, NU’EST, and Hello Venus‘ leaders is causing quite the stir among fans.

On July 17th, After School, NU’EST, and Hello Venus all gathered at MBCmusic‘s ‘Show Champion‘ on July 17th to perform “Flashback“, “Action“, and “Like a Wave“, respectively.

After their performances came to an end, they all gathered at the dressing room, and Jung Ah, JR, and Ara stood together for a ‘leader photo’.

After School’s Jung Ah shared the photo on Google+ with the message: ”A meeting of the Pledis leaders~^^ Displaying our ‘Leader’s Class’ as we exchange albums! Please listen to the songs of all three of our groups~^^♥“.

Despite being under the same agency, the three artists rarely have a chance to see one another as they all have busy schedules. Now that they all happen to be promoting their songs at the same time, the label mates had a chance to catch up at the music program, and their bond reportedly evoked envy among their peers

Netizens left comments such as, “They must feel secure when they are all together like that,” “My eyes are pleased. All so pretty and handsome,” “So cute that they are exchanging albums like that,” and more.

NU’EST become ambassadors for Korea Scout Association

According to Pledis Entertainment, NU’EST, who recently made a comeback with their first mini-album ‘Action‘, are the new ambassadors of the Korea Scout Association.

The boys became the official endorsement models of the association on July 18 at the appointment ceremony in Yeoido. The Korea Scout Association is the national Scouting association of South Korea, and it aims to improve adolescents as citizens.

A representative from the Korea Scout Association stated, “As the NU’EST members are in their teens themselves and have been sending strong messages to adolescents in their debut album ‘Face‘ as well as their new album ‘Action‘, we decided that it would be fitting to appoint them as the ambassadors of the scouts, who support social contributions. We’re looking forward to their large role as the spokespersons for adolescents.”

The scouts exist in 131 countries across the world and include 30,000,000 members. South Korea alone has 370,000 active scouts.
