Well then,thank you for starting it . At least people listened to someone this time and we got what we wanted. Now I really wish they would release the song as an official single *sighs*

Thank you both for these updates. What I love about Rania is how much charisma they have when they perform and it doesn't hurt the members are always beautiful and talented. This proves to me if the fandom had spoken up earlier (boycott or petition) about issues we had with DR and put them into a corner then they would have listened and we would have a much better comeback then the 'crappy' one we just got. By 'crappy' I'm not reflecting this on the girls at all but I'm blaming the management for the poor planning, the poor music production, Alex still walking off, etc... We would have gotten a much better, cleaner comeback, we would have gotten our HEX unit already and a bunch of other things, and they would get our point that we're not settling for less. My thoughts exactly. It's sad that the fandom has had to come up with petition at all. It's like DRM doesn't know the basics of the industry they're working in.

So here I was about to reply to someone's comment about a conversation we were having on the thread a couple of weeks ago (about the boycott I believe) and I'm thinking the thread has moved 5-10 pages at most and we've moved 40!!! What did I miss? Can someone give me a rundown? Anything about Make Me Aah? IS Alex in the choreo or not? Questions.....

This is not a reflection on either of you two but since last year I suggested a boycott and/or petition and nobody on this thread batted an eye and I was even downvoted for it. I'm trying to figure out what the variable was this time that didn't already exist last time when I or other people suggested it? I don't understand this fandom because at times it seems we're all on the same page but the minute we have to do something that needs to get done for these girls, everyone backs down. And then the same ideas come up again and this time A1st get passionate all of a sudden and go for it, I just don't get it....

What. Is. Wrong. With. DRM? They are duuuuuuuummmb!!!

I find this whole situation is toxic. I previously gave up on a comeback ever happening but now that it IS happening and we're getting disappointed every damned day that passes by, I fear the fandom will lose a fan this time around. I'm sure I won't be missed but I just can't with this shit.

Make Me AH is perfect! Not too crazy about 'Killer' though, I'm used to the original. I have to get used to all of the members voices once again and who's that powerhouse, is that Jieun?!? If so she sounds amazing. I saw the gaps in the choreo but it didn't hit me why they would be there until I saw people talking about them. It's typically ratched of DR to release a MV like that. Also, sorry to break it to you but you're gonna wait a long time before you get that apology from DR...if it's ever gonna happen. Sad to see you leave the fandom but I totally understand where you're coming from. I had practically given up on the group myself until the comeback and now I don't know how to feel about this messy comeback lmao. I shall be waiting cuz I feel you and I are gonna agree on a lot of things.

Yes she was! and I enjoyed every minute of it . I thought so too, and I'm probably gonna get hate for this but the outfits and the setting don't help. They look like hookers waiting to get clients under some bridge. If that is true then I just can't.

Warning: long post Soooo I finally watched the vid several times lol, here are my thoughts (which probably have already been stated but I haven't read the thread yet). Pros: -I LOVE LOVE LOVE that Rania is back after so freaking long! -I'm glad Alex was in the video with everyone which we missed last time. -Glad to see Saem is back and she sounded great. - We cannot deny how great Hyeme both looked and sounded. Cons: - I like the song but I feel it could have sounded much better. - Either some of the girls' vocals are weak or the production sounds unfinished like they recorded the song in a couple of hours and they didn't 'clean it up'. They are 7 people in the group but it sounds like only 3 are singing. - I'm not fond of the concept and especially not the outfits. -The choreo looks basic as f**k, it's missing the certain 'Rania' element that we're used to. -The ratio of shots between and Seulji, Hyeme, and Saem vs. the other members is W I D E. We don't get a proper shot of Ttabo until the 2:45 minute mark like.... - The group lacks the cohesiveness it always had. Even in Demonstrate, although Alex was not part of the full song, when she did do the choreo with them, it felt cohesive which brings me to my last and most important point. - WHY THE HELL WAS ALEX NOT PART OF THE WHOLE VIDEO AND SONG????? TL;DR I'm happy they're back but disappointed in the MV- let's see how they do in live stages.

WOW I can actually believe that they've come back now. I always had doubts because of the disappointment from their label in the past, they've gone as far as announcing comebacks and doing some promo/releasing some things here and there and then for nothing to happen. I've kept my promise to myself that I wouldn't believe a comeback until I actually saw it happening so I'm genuinely happy for the girls and I'm excited once more.

Holy cow, they're actually coming back! I'm genuinely happy about that and YEESS to Saem coming back; it's great to see a familiar face again. Hopefully, some of the older girls will come back as well and we can have a supergroup *wishful thinking*.

my first time in a while to see what's been up with Rania and this is what I hear. I can't with this disgrace. Back to my sabbatical.

To anyone that cares, I am officially taking a break from Rania for a few months. I don't know what I'm waiting for and I don't know for how long I'm waiting for it. I don't like to be played nor do I like being taken for granted as a fan. I stanned these ladies and DRM so hard because they have SO MUCH to offer but as time went on, I learned to be less emotionally involved with the group specifically due to DRM's constant screw-ups but I'll remain supportive of all of the members that have been/are in the group. On the same token I'm gonna be completely honest and say I'm no longer hopeful for the group, despite the rebranding, new logo, new changes etc...(unless they start being consistent if that's ever gonna happen.) If the comeback happens tomorrow, great! If later, that's good too, if it never happens, oh well.

Many people have said something similar to this and it makes perfect sense as to what's happening.

I think she's gonna do great but she should have come up with a better name, that's gonna create some confusion. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise because if everything Rania went through was reported, they would be a laughingstock. At the same I do agree that they should report at least some of the major changes as you said; new lineup, Crystal's show, etc... She should stop tweeting....

Sooo.....where's the comeback? I'll probably get downvoted again but anybody want the petition created? Because at least that would be me/us/whoever doing something rather than complaining about every disappointment that comes our way. Because of DRM, supporting Rania feels like we're trying to revive a dead horse.

she's cute. Really now? lol.

omg you're right .

Ah-ha! Ok I got it now. so in the bottom pic, it is L-R (Jian, Hyeme, Jieun, Seulji, and Chrystal). Thanks for that because I couldn't tell them apart for some reason lol. Meanwhile, still waiting for a comeback

I've figured out who Chrystal is but who is this, Jieun or Jian? lol. Couldn't agree more.

oh ok I had missed that post. How come Alex wasn't there or did I miss her. Is this gonna be a new concept now, on-and-off disappearing member/ leader? lol. For the life of me I can't tell the new 3 members apart, I can't memorize their faces for some reason. I guess I have to wait until the comeback. why is there always a missing member? lol. I was suspicious for a second and I was right lol. I'm still in the belief that I won't believe there's a comeback unless I actually see it happening.

whoa, where are these gifs and top pic from?

Those of you that downvoted me probably misunderstand where I'm coming from. A few weeks back, a few people thought this idea was more or less ok but maybe no one actually thought I'd act on it. At this point I don't need to explain myself any further but we all know as fans what's been happening with this group and there will come a time when enough will be enough. I said what I said as a concerned fan but it seems I'm getting emotionally involved. Time to back down.

I don't think so, I'm not even holding my breath. I hear you. This week I was looking up how to start an online petition because I wanted to write one up to call for the disbandment of the group. This is a veteran group compared to many other kpop groups but I fear these ladies will never get the respect they deserve as long as they are with this company. i've decided not to call the company by its name because it doesn't deserve a name in my eyes/ worthless to me. It would be nice if they all left the company together and joined another company a-la-Ela8te but that's wishful thinking. I'm gonna start writing a draft soon. the obsession with english is deep because they can't even do it right.

Thank you for the link, and yes I do agree with you lol. The harmony or 'Style' reeked though, they tried lol. How are these private sources still giving them money? Good God. Or maybe they're getting bank loans who knows at this point.
