Ddeona Oneul Bame 61,632 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Demonstrate came out at the end of 2015~ 2017 just started~ It's more one year than two~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuttlebutters 747 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Makes me sick how mistreated she is. At least this time she got to pose with the rest of the group at the end of the song instead of only making an appearance in the middle of the song before dissapearing off stage again.

lepidoptery 2,917 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 It's not like I don't get your point either way, but aside from it not having been 2 years, is it really meaningful to say a group (or member) has been around 2 years when it's only been 2 promos cycles....

STAN DREAMCATCHER 448 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 It's because she's easily be best dancer in Rania and the others are jealous, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delirium 4,237 Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 It's a known fact that Alex was added pretty much last minute when she debuted, tho~ was she another street recruit or something? Even if it's last minute, no way that the day of the announcement was the same day that she met or worked with the group for the first time ever? right? Then again, this is Kpop. and further, it does nothing to explain why she's still not doing entire performances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first promotional cycle and the funky set-up was understandable because of extenuating circumstances; however, even now, sometimes it feels like Rania ft. Alex. What's worse is that she's the leader/co-leader of the group. Buuuuut at least her outfit matches the unit this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the outfit has always been an issue~ Remember how she mentioned in the My Neighbor Charles special that she often has problems with the wardrobe because the clothes just don't fit her like they fit the other girls~ So the outfits she wears are typically chosen by her~ No idea why it's taken this long to work around that but they're getting there as of the last couple stages~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had always wondered why her clothes looked so random until I finally saw that. It also gave me a completely new perspective on Alex: the way that she would try to watch the other girls' mouths and facial expression to help figure out what they were saying and learn; the fact that she had to start taking medication for stress, and so on really impressed me. Fak, I just want everything to come together smoothly already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fak, I just want everything to come together smoothly already Yeah, I would think by now they'd say "well obviously we need to work around her body type, let's go with some outfits they can all wear" (or at least be similar or something), but I guess not~ >_____> Demonstrate worked because they all wore different clothes, but now all people can see is her standing out~ RaNia can never seem to catch a break~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they made a song and had a rap feature (it's not like they haven't had them before, like on Secret Party there's an uncredited (well, uncredited as a feature) male rapper with a good chunk of lines) with her, and then they got to thinking about other possibilities. It feels like they didn't quite commit to her being there, but they barely have the rest of their house in order either (with the lineup and all) so I'm honestly not sure how I feel about it.

I don't think the issue is with the commitment to Alex to the group itself, rather just that DR Music has bad management of this group altogether~ Like you said, their endeavors have really never gone anywhere, so they fact that they're still not managing this new foreign member well is more of DR's garbage/non-existent planning than anything~ Least in my opinion~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
