After School Club, often shortened to ASC, is a South Korean interactive music talk show that primarily airs on Arirang TV. Premiering on April 17, 2013, the show is currently co-hosted by Allen and Taeyoung of Cravity and Aaron Kwak. After School Club's live broadcast spotlights Korean musicians, primarily K-pop idols and groups, and is spoken in English as the program is directed towards an international audience.

Contents

After School Club is produced by Lee Hyun-ah and executive produced by Summer Jung. Aside from its television broadcasts, After School Club is also livestreamed online and utilizes social media technologies such as Twitter and Google Hangouts to directly interact with international fans. Through this, the show features a live audience consisting of the guests' fans that are shown through video chats.

Premise and format

ASC features various musical guests of South Korea and the series is directed at an international audience, so the principal language is English with Korean subtitles and translations produced on air. [1] Fans can join in on the live broadcasts through video chats in Google Hangouts, send in tweets to the show's official Twitter account, and are also able to share comments, ask questions, and request music videos on the show's official Facebook account. [2] The show is also livestreamed on Viki, Soompi, DramaFever, [3] [4] [5] Youtube, and V Live.

Two activities that take place every episode are the Roll Calls and Hangouts. During the "Roll Call" portion Twitter users tweet their name, location, the time and generally a short message to the weekly guest. Those that participate may be singled out during the beginning of the episode and given a shout out by the guest. "Hangouts" are typically done twice an episode where some fans are selected for a real-time Google Hangout on the show which usually involves something (such as a song or dance) prepared by the fan to show to the guest(s) and a request. Other activities include prepared performances for fans by the guests, such as impressions, dances, and short parodies. [6]

On March 5, 2014 (episode 48) the show expanded to include a second episode every week known as the After School Club After Show which features other guest appearances and behind-the-scenes footage from the previous episodes. The production team announced on Twitter that the After Show segment would be retired; the last After Show was on February 25, 2015 (episode 148).

The show joined V Live on August 25, 2015, Instagram on June 1, 2016, and Snapchat on January 2, 2017. [7] [8]

A new logo and a new studio set was introduced beginning from Episode 361 on March 26, 2019.
