because of you
bang!

On October 29, 2009, Yoo Soyoung officially withdrew from the group. Two new members were added to the group, Raina and Nana.[2] After School made their comeback on 25 November 2009 with their single, "Because of You",[2][16] with teasers being released a day before.[17] Marking a change for the group to a more mature and sophisticated concept,[2] the song became popular, winning three Mutizen awards[18][19][20] and topping various online music charts.[21] A remixed version was released later on.[22]

On March 17, 2010, details surrounding new member, Lizzy, were announced,[23] following the release of the group's concept photos for the single album, Bang!. Pledis Entertainment simultaneously announced that the album would be released on March 25, 2010.[23]

On December 6, 2010, Pledis Entertainment released After School's comeback album "Happy Pledis 1st Album" that consisted of 4 tracks, "Love Love Love" as their album single, "Someone Is You" and 2 instrumentals of the two songs. Pledis had planned a series of "Happy Pledis" albums with their artists After School, Son Dambi and Orange Caramel as a surprise gift for the fans. A portion of the profits from the "Happy Pledis" albums would be donated to the “Save the Children” organization. Bekah did not take part nor participated in the promotions for this album due to her two month break in Hawaii visiting her parents.[24]
