    • I’m not surprised, this has happened several times before with the group, DR is just a really terrible company when it comes to managment, and everything. I’m sure the girls are all talented its just a shame that they signed with DR. Once DR offically announces the new line-up we will get the profle updated. ~ James

    • I don’t have any info, I know most of the fan-base has pretty much given up on them though. The problem with DR/Rania is that they have done this same thing before, where they go radio silent on updates for a long long time. They went almost 2 1/2 years between Just Go and Demonstrate and then they suddenly returned with a massive line-up change. So, even though we think Rania is done, for this group we will probably wait 3-4-5 years before moving them to disbanded just because DR has done this before ~ James

  1. Hello! Do you know what Riko is currently doing now? I know she left the group a LONG time ago but I was very curious about her.

    Also, did you know that former members Di, T-ae and Xia now have each their own Twitch accounts? Do you have any idea why they have opened these accounts? I’m assuming they’re just using them to make some money on the side…all they do is play video games, talk, mukbang, etc. I was also wondering if they are still planning on forming their own group or something because they still seem very close (they interact with each other on Twitch and their other social accounts pretty often).

    • I have no idea what is going on with any of the past members, i dont even really know whats going on with the group currently. ~ James

  2. You forgot to add Breathe Heavy’s MV and Ttabo has left the group, she wrote it on her Weibo as “I’m a former K-pop idol” in her video. And also Namfon confirmed Ttabo’s departure on her Instagram. She said “Ttabo eonnie has left without any words.” And their new song “Let Me Dance” has been performed on Brasil. It count as “digital single” till officially release.

    • We will get Breathe Heavy added – as for the digital single – a digital single is simply a song that is released for purchase online only with no physical copies of the album sold, making a song which has only been performed not a digital single. As far a Ttabo is concerned DR.Music has been denying those claims stating she will be back for the next comeback, along with videos of the girls back in the practice room.
      ~ Manwon^^

  3. Ziu’s account returned, but no longer mention as Rania member. Ziu also hide almost all post that tagged her (mostly Rania related post).
    Surprisingly, Namfon instagram account appeared again, but now privated.
    All of them, as present still following other member account and Rania official account.

    • There sadly still isn’t much we can do besides speculate. My gut is telling me that either the group is totally done like other fans are guessing, or that they are going though another massive line-up change. The company is probably one of the worst companies I have ever known about. ~ James

    • No, ZiU said a fan on her ig comments. The fan asked her if she left group or not and she said “no” Also Hyeme said “maybe we’ll back.”

      • Seriously she said no? Because most of her fans widely believe Ziu would not ever return. At least there is hope Rania would be return in future, although the chance is considerably small (or might even never).
        Another interesting fact is Hyeme entered a singing contest. Her official descriptions say she as Rania’s main vocal.

      • DR Music is such a shady company and I doubt the girls sadly know what the company is doing if they are doing anything, As for Hyeme being in in a singing contest a lot of idols will use a group name like that so that 1 people know about their group, and 2 to give them some bonus points in their own reputation, unless a group totally fails or they are trying to redebut in a different group they will usually show some pride in their group ~ James

    • Despite Ziu say not left, Ziu must be lying. The fact that she removed anything related to Rania and hiding almost all post that tagged her on her Instagram should be considered seriously, because it seem odd there is a member of group say not left but caught have removed anything that shown him/her as part of group. Another fact is aslo discovered, since mid March 2019 Ziu no longer following Rania official account anymore. In short, clearly she won’t returned again.
      I’m also discovered that Hyeme have account at Afreeca TV. At one of her live streaming (a Rania fans recorded it then upload on Youtube) , Hyeme said that DR Music hasn’t have money, indicating that Hyeme acknowledge DR Music was on financial trouble. But so far, Hyeme is yet confimed about Rania current status.
      Well, discussing about Rania current status is very very complicated.

      • I don’t think its fair to call her a liar. By your logic most idols from a disbanded group or not in a group currently that they were in is a liar.

        There are plenty of idols and celebrities that hide posts that they are tagged in on IG. There are also idols/celebrities that go through and remove all or most of their pictures on IG all the time. There are also tons of idols who don’t follow their group/companies/members on SNS but are still in the group.

        There could be legal issues preventing her from saying if she left the group. Maybe the girls are trying to leave DR Music but still be Rania, and DR and they are in a similar situation as MBK/TARA. Maybe DR has threatened to sue Ziu if she says she left causing more negative attention to her group. Tia from Chocolate had to wait something like 4 years to say that the group had disbanded 4 years previously because her company kept her under contract.

        I know fans want to know exactly what is going on, but things like this are why Manwon^^ and I do not easily move groups to disbanded. If in a year the situation hasn’t changed MAYBE Manwon^^ and I will feel more comfortable moving them, but as I explain on our main page, with situations like this we try to wait a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG time. SNS is just on of many pieces we look at and we cannot assume anything based on 1 girls IG and vague statements said on a streaming site ~ James

      • At that time I wrote those comment, I forgot to include that Ziu historically known very open about her as Rania member. In the past she always tagging or mention Rania. Well there are large number of celebrities hiding post that tagged them and more further only post about daily lifestyle. But in Ziu case, she began did it after Rania went hiatus. Many fans suspect Ziu left soon after fans began found Ziu stopped tagging or mention Rania.

        If you said Ziu now at same situation like Tia, apparently Ziu should be not the only person whose experience it. All Rania member could be on threaten to not speak out about their current status like what used to be occured with ChoColat members.

      • And we still have to wait – we waited YEARS before moving ChoColat to disbanded when it had become obvious that for an extended period of time we could see that they were not together. With some evidence to the contrary and Rania having a history of this type of radio silence before coming back we can’t update anything for Rania. We do what can to verify things, but when all we can do is speculate we don’t update.
        ~ Manwon^^

    • The last I heard (which was several months ago when the group went to Brazil for concerts and to film their comeback MV…which still hasn’t been released) Ttabo was not able to participate because of Visa issues. But since then there haven’t been any updates but from comments on her IG it seems like fans think she is out ~ James

      • Although never officially confirmed left, a fans asked to Ttabo if she left and she say yes.
        Also, there is speculation among the fans that Rania quietly disband after concert in Brazil due to (still rumored) DR Music financial broken down. The supposed comeback in September never realized.
        Ziu now doing cover song on Youtube, while Namfon suspected remove all Rania related post or mention.

      • I don’t know how else to tell you we cant do anything about rumors and speculation.

        I have been following the group very closely since before Namfon was added and there is nothing we can do at this time. ~ James

    • I’m sorry I can’t add that, because according to DRMusic she is still just a trainee and training to join Rania. (Will they probably cause a sh*tstorm again and announce her when the group comes back in a few weeks, probably, but until then…) The company has claimed that the video and picture were filmed for her promotions in Thailand but uploaded online without their permission because they have not announced her as a member. ~ James

  4. I know that is from an unofficial Account but it’s true that the girl is a new member?
    *removed*

    • according to DRMusic she is still just a trainee and training to join Rania. (Will they probably cause a sh*tstorm again and announce her when the group comes back in a few weeks, probably, but until then…) The company has claimed that the video and picture were filmed for her promotions in Thailand but uploaded online without their permission because they have not announced her as a member. ~ James

    • While they do have that one video, there is nothing we can updated until they at least give us some picture, and hopefully some information. ~ James

  5. I read from an unofficial Account dedicated to Rania, that YuMin left Rania, it’s true?

    • Yes she did leave the group, the company was very vague saying that they can’t comment but it was scheduling, personal and health ~ James

      • But she didn’t legally change her real name though, she just changed her stage name…not sure where you even got that info from but whatever I guess.

  6. Yas they are coming back. And so is Saem I’m shook. She was my fav. It’s fun to see people return to their groups after a while.

  7. Riwon was never a member of trainee at DR Music. Those were only rumours that she was gonna join the group but those rumours were false.

  8. (Some information) DR posted on their Facebook that they will pick from their 7 trainees to see who will join RaNia. Alex also has a concert on November 20th

  9. 3 new members has been added: Jihyun, Jieun (ex-LPG) and Crystal and Alex said that she will be the groups new leader

    • We have that Alex is the leader on her profile already
      As for the other three members, I really need an official source since I haven’t seen any announcement for them
      ~ Manwon^^

    • We know that the group has had a line-up change. We can’t really update their profile until the company announces who is in the group. Hopefully the company announces that information soon. ~James

  10. Isn’t Rania disbanding? I heard that some members left and are going to form a group called Ela8te while two members (I think Alex and Hyeme) are going to become a group with a hiphop concept. I only saw this on a tumblr blog dedicated to Rania, so I have no idea if it’s official, but I was wondering if you could look into it?

    • Di, T-ae, and Xia have left Rania – but Alex has been tweeting about leaking new Rania music recently – so I don’t think that they group is disbanding, they are just going to be coming back with a different line-up…granted Alex could be tweeting about leaking music from her new duo too – DRMusic hasn’t released any information about Rania disbanding or not…we’ll keep as up-to-date as possible as we can with this
      ~ Manwon^^

  11. Sorry~ I just want to know … hmmm I had read some pre-debut story about Rania… they had former member who name Data, sori,minhee (sorry if I wrong!) are them former member after their debut or just pre-debut member?

    • Riko is definitely Korean – she lived in Japan for a number of years during her school days, but she was born in Korea, and is of Korean descent.
      ~ Manwon^^

  12. I don’t understand, Sharon & Sarah never be members of RANIA :(((((. Former members are Saem, Jooyi, Riko, Joy & Yijo :((((((, OK!

    • Both Sharon and Sarah were introduced as members of RaNia by the group and the company. They performed with the group on multiple occasions as well. So, yes they were part of the group :)))) OK! :))))

  13. Alex is an African-American .. But why is Alex not in demonstrate MV ?? Is it because she will not debut already??

    • I don’t know why she isn’t in the video, but she has performed with them on their comeback stage. From comments on her instagram there was mentions of issues getting her visa, but thats just me guessing based on comments. She is so gorgeous~James

  14. According to their fan cafe, Jooyi and (temporary member?) Sharon have left the group.

    • I was unable to find any statements on their fancafe, but I was able to find articles that confirm Sharon and Jooyi left, I also found that a new member has been added to the group ~ So we’ll get that updated ASAP
      ~ Manwon^^
