she looks gorgeous here!

with all this awesome news, I think it's time to update the front page of this thread! Also, it's a mess that ppl are once again doubting her but it's basically in Hyolyn's blood to prove nay-sayers wrong so I'm excited

but DR has to have the last word with everything, they'd totally clash against boy group stans. boy group stans go hard for their faves, they'd destroy the company if it treated their hypothetical faves like RaNia edit: also the company is so controlling, the info that bpstartafire spilled is further proof that given the chance, DR will always choose to cut off their nose to spite their face. they couldn't handle a boy group, let alone a popular boy group but I'd love to see them try

^^this, I defend Alex a LOT but truthfully I stayed around because of the momentum that her addition, and the addition of this line-up brought. I truly thought that this Rania (along with Yina) would be the one to get back to the glory days. I want to support the remaining members but I can't bring myself to stick around for a company as unprofessional, unorganized, messy and just plain evil as DR. Like, this was legit abuse and discrimination. Not just for Alex but for the other members. I can't put my money, my time, or my effort behind that. I know that a lot of people will see that as abandoning the group, and it in some cases it is, but sticking around is enabling DR, it's ensuring that DR will do this again, imo.

I like this idea a lot, tbh. It would be like the ridiculous cherry on top of the ridiculous cake

Starship could make up the difference now that Sistar is over but Starship obviously wanted all the members to stay. The thing about Sistar is that they were easy money and far-reaching ambassadors for the company. Starship barely had to put promos into the things that members do and they rank right up there with every other company's top earners. Sistar as a group and individually are huge bargaining chips for the company. Like K.Will said, they were Starship's pillars, the reason why Starship could get bigger companies to invest. Hyolyn's last couple of solos didn't do as well as the first but last year she was still in the top 10 most recognizable solo artists of Korea. And Bora still gets brand deals, she did Uniqlo and CLIO just this year. That's the kind of easy money that Sistar brought to the company just because of where they were at in their career. I think that Starship could bounce back but looking at it objectively, they just lost two of their four pillars.

I'm surprisingly numb to the news. I just hope that as individual artists the members do not re-sign with Starship. I mean, maybe the company can change, but Starship still drops the ball of the members' individual activites a LOT. I feel like if they want to challenge themselves, they should find companies that will treat them like top stars all the time.

Unnies producers are too obessed with making them seem younger.

is that a real pic? just went to mx's account and didn't see a single picture of sistar or hyolyn

One of things that I would suggest is that some people take their own advice and take this directly to Alex. She's got Twitter and all the social medias, she speaks English and would see you if you asked her to stop tweeting about her problems. Because when you see that she does something, you get upset about it and then come here to complain. It's essentially the same thing she does with DR. If enough people tweet her, maybe she'd stop and look for new avenues to get DR's attention. I think it would be better than coming here and talking about how you don't like her/how you want her out of the group because Ttabo's also good at rapping.

When is this IS2 episode scheduled to air? It could be that they want to save Yewon's progress reveal for Slam Dunk
