Orange Caramel (Hangul: 오렌지 캬라멜), is the first sub group formed from the South Korean pop group After School. This sub-unit was formed with the three newest members: Nana, Raina and Lizzy. Orange Caramel’s concept is more lighthearted and sweet unlike many girl groups that have recently taken on darker, sexier concepts.
They debuted on June 16, 2010, with the single "Magic Girl". They released their debut mini-album The First Mini Album on June 21, 2010. The album was a huge success, peaking at #2 on the Gaon Chart as did the lead single "Magic Girl". The mini-album was released in Taiwan, where they included a Mandarin version of "The Day You Went Away", which is a cover from Cyndi Wang and originally by M2M.
On November 18, 2010, they released The Second Mini Album with the lead track, "A~ing♡." The album peaked at #9 on the Gaon Chart and the lead single, "A~ing♡", peaked at #4. The second single released from the album, "Still..." (Hangul: 아직...), peaked at #42.
On March 30, 2011, the group released "Bangkok City" as part of their "One Asia" project. The single peaked at #1, thus being the group's most successful single to date. Orange Caramel continued the "One Asia" project with the release of "Shanghai Romance" on October 13, 2011, which peaked at #3 on the Gaon Chart. A Japanese version of "Shanghai Romance" is being released as a bonus track on After School's debut Japanese album, Playgirlz, which has speculated rumors of Orange Caramel debuting in Japan.
