After School’s Bekah releases her graduation song, “Take Me to the Place”

After bringing fans to tears over the announcement of her departure last month, Bekah has officially graduated from After School today with the release of her ‘graduation project’, her very own solo digital single titled “Take Me to the Place“.

Pledis’s official Twitter announced, “The song was first revealed through After School’s fan meeting, and today, it will be released as a digital single.  Please give it your love ^^.”

Personally written by Bekah, the song features beautiful lyrics and an equally beautiful voice singing it.  It might come as a surprise to most, especially since she’s known to be the rapper of the group.  Although it’s unfortunate that her talent is only able to fully shine on its own just now, the song will definitely be a sweet farewell that will remain in the memories of fans.
