RANIA was one of the groups who introduced sexy concepts in K-Pop (2011) but they got criticized for it. They're so ahead of time. They all deserved better. POP POP POP? More like BOP BOP BOP
Same. I actually used to listen to a really big variation of groups back then, but nowadays, most songs are too westernized and the fights between several fandoms is getting ridiculous. I know I shouldn't let those immature fans keep me from listening to groups but...I'd rather keep out than falling into some sort of trap.
@LA SHORE There are still new girl/boy groups debuted every month, but the problem is that groups from lesser known companies barely receive recognition and people are too biased to what's main stream a.k.a what's hot. People may say that said groups don't do main stream, but the point is, main stream is not a genre. Something becomes main stream once it turns out to be popular. I mean, I used to listen to Crayon Pop even if their songs were a bit weird, but I still did because they were actually just as talented as any other group. Many fail to see other hidden talents these days which is a real shame and they also dismiss older artists as if they never existed.
Rania really had good songs and production. So sad that Koreans slept on them. Its such a pitty that the budget went down with each video. They were ahead of their time, their talent got wasted and all the members of the different generations deserved better.
@@hugomelo4358 What I meant is that they made her look older during her time in Gaia. Take a look at her Instagram account, she looks just like she did when she was a member of RANIA. She hasn't aged a day.
They were one of the very first Kpop groups that established their very own kind of sexy concept! It's so sad that they didn't get the recognition they deserved. We gotta give thanks to groups like Rania for being one of the many first groups for making break throughs with sexy, unique concepts. They would've done well if people had given them more and if their company treated them better.

Their company fucked up, replacing all the members and change their name to BP Rania They hired a girl from US to become one of the member couple years ago, and treated her poorly till she left. The company completely ruined this group.
itsSaal _ Yes their company was shady af but I wouldn’t say they completely ruined the group with adding in new members. It’s a little worrying that all the veterans left so fast and that they had already replaced everyone. But even as BP Rania they still had so much potential, but then they treated her poorly and probably even the other members and that’s when the group was dead. If Rania was signed to another company they’d probably get the recognition that they deserve.
@@piss-v4l Read my comment again thoroughly and comprehend what I’m saying. Where abouts did I say “The Member” ruined the group. I said the “Company” did. Smh
Same for me! This song used to be my jam I listened to it all the time. Man, I really miss old Kpop. I still love Kpop now but songs like this brings me back to the good old 2nd generation kpop days
The only band where all the members are SMOKING HOT !!! i mean look at them!! Is there any one who is anything less than gorgeous ?? 3rd tallest girl band+fit healthy curvy bodies....Dayum cant wait for a 2014 comeback. Oh and thank god they changed the choreography for Live performance.
Whoever is managing RANIA now needs to get their shit together and get these girls back into K-POP and stop jerking them around. They also need to get their US debut nailed down. This is one group that I think could conceivably break into the US market. RANIA has a real good grasp of the English language. "Just Go", "Dr. Feel Good" and "Masquerade" are excellent examples. If you didn't know it, it would be difficult to say they're Korean. Their manager needs to spend the time, make the contacts and get the ball rolling.
what's the point? I know u wrote it 3 years back when kpop companies actually cared about quality and diverse concept in girl groups but now all they care about is making clones, both musically and visually. Both big3 and small companies. If girl groups with strong concepts didn't survive back then, then they won't survive now.
@@han76557 yes Rania is still one of my favorite music groups, my preferrred song is Killer sadly dont have an official MV but have 2 nice lives choreographies (search Rania Killer live)
I like how the guy is like "They're back!" They were only inactive for a few months lol. But I do love me some Rania. One of my favorite female Kpop groups at the moment.
The 7rania killed the whole song with brave sounds they deserve reunion and see them again im really agreed on this im happy to heard this song because this song getting me feel goosebump im really love the original members now
YourName I know I do give them credits for it but it's not their best choreo because even when they dont have the light stick they didn't change the dance, to me they should have thought of an alternative, but I still love this song on of my top kpop songs.
Rania was one of the best raising groups but were poorly managed and had many line up changes due to the HORRIBLE management from their company DR Music. The original and first line up consisted of 1. Riko (Leader) 2. Dee/D.I 3. JooYi 4. Joy 5. Yina/Saem 6. T-ae 7. Xia (maknae) Joy was first to leave the group just a year after their debut (they deubted in 2011), a year later Riko followed and the leader position was forwarded to Yina. Who would also leave the group in 2014 but came back in 2016 as the leader. In 2015 JooYi left and in the group were added Jieun, Zi.U, Hyeme and Alexandra. After Yina came back (in 2016) the group joined Yumin and Ttabo but the last 3 remaining original members (Xia, Dee & T-ae) left the group and Yina followed a year after them (2017). She spoke about why she left the group in the first place and why she came back 2 years after just to leave it once again a year later. Yina actually said that she didn't plane to leave the group once coming back but after 3 original members left she missed *her* members (which is completely understandable) and that she didn't fit that much in with the new members of Rania. After Yinas departure, Rania was re-branded in BP Rania (short for Black Pearl Rania) and Alex (the first black K-pop Idol) was given the position of a leader. She actually left the group a few month after Yina due to the racism and unfair treatment she received from the management (in 2017 as well). The next in line for the leader position was Hyeme. In 2018 Yumin left the group to focus on her family as she got married and soon after pregnant with her son, Ttabo also left the group the same year alongside Yumin, the same year Namfon joined the group. In 2019 Zi.U and Jieun left the group but Seunghyun, Leia (formerly Larissa) & Youngheun joined the group. The next year Namfon left the group because she got homesick and had to finance herself to travel every 90 days from Thailand to S. Korea and the other way around because the company didn't provide her with a working visa. Hyeme also left the group due to a controversy involving one of her ex-boyfriend/husband. Seunghyun also left the group but the reason is unknown. The same year (2020) Judy and Fatou joined the group and the group was re-branded/re-debuted as BLACKSWAN which we know of today. Gabi & Sriya are the newest members added to the group this year. And that's the whole line up change of RANIA and the cause of their downfall. Sadly.. I'm still a fan of theirs and have been since 2011. My bias is definitely Yina and I love the original line up more then the others but yeah... Hope you guys will enjoy their discography as they have a lot to offer. Their company really ruined them.
No matter what happened with Joy ...we all know you did all your best and you did really great. I'm Thai and I'm so proud of you Joy. Just come back home... you're totally welcomed here. This video would bring a good memory while you were in Rania. Love you as always...Joy
My mum was Teddy Riley's accountant... before he ignored her advice and spent himself into bankruptcy back in the 90s. My sister and I were in his trailer once, but I was too young to care very much. On the other hand, if he's investing in Rania, maybe he's finally making good business choices.
I seriously cannot get enough of this song. It's soooo good!! The production is amazing, and it's catchy as hell! Definitely one of my fav k-pop songs at this moment.

They debuted in 2011 tho it’s 13 years
Omfg 🌟
same for me!!!

To think that Rania played an important role for introducing the sexy concept, despite all that criticism. They really deserved better, underrated queens.
You don’t understand how much I love this song
Girl same!
Sis we’re the same!
the only thing we understand is that you don't understand a thing of this song's lyrics.
@@tareqmahmud3902 the song is about a girl wanting a guy to like her. What else is there to understand
it’s a banger, i know
Rania deserved better

They're so ahead of time. They all deserved better.
POP POP POP? More like BOP BOP BOP
And to my knowledge they were fine with the sexy concept
@@brennathecatlover4360even xia is 17 y.o at the time
@@WomensIconn Ik but based on an interview they seemed fine with the concept unless she says otherwise then I’m not assuming anything
@@WomensIconn at least in some interview I found they talked positively when asked about it but we’ll never truly know
I feel like I am back to 2011. As a second generation fan, I really miss the old kpop.

this song deserve to go viral like rollin
yess
with no management team it probably won’t happen.
yes but I think Style by Rania should go viral instead since it's their best title track
Yesss
Cuz Both song was made by Same producer..XD
Rania seriously was ahead of their time
Ugh I miss when Bravesound was in everyone’s songs. They made amazing beats!
They were like the Timberland or Darkchild of the kpop music scene, it seems like.
Rania really had good songs and production. So sad that Koreans slept on them. Its such a pitty that the budget went down with each video. They were ahead of their time, their talent got wasted and all the members of the different generations deserved better.
Their company is shi*
Happy that Jooyi is now a successful songwriter. I hope the other girls also succeeded in whatever they chose to do.
0:35 Joy is now in a Thailand girl group named GAIA... I can't believe she been on RANIA before... I'm shook 😱💕💕💕
She looks older now, doesn't really suit her.

Everything about this screamed unprepared and low budged but i loved every bit of it
The “cause I’m hotter than the sun” should’ve been iconic, and this is one of my favorite rap parts actually
they were so underrated :(
Still are :(
They are good I hate to say it but it's true there is no such thing as under rated not no more Under rated is under rated and old
2022 everyone? Still one of the best Brave Brother songs made.
Rania was way ahead of time..the world wasnt ready for them. they were the early ripples

Oh and thank god they changed the choreography for Live performance.
i think all of the members of girls day are hot...
Minah is not hot in my opinion. She is cute but not hot at all
really? i thought she looked pretty hot in expectation.
i meant in real life, in music videos anyone can be transformed into cute/sexy/slutty etc etc
well i think shes hot either way. but beautys in the eye of the beholder i guess. same goes for hotness.
จอย RANIA เป็นอดีตไปเเล้วตอนนี้มีเเต่จอย GAIA ถึงจะเปลี่ยนวงเเต่ก้อรักเสมอจะติดตามผลงานค่า
BOP BOP BOP
BAMBOO entertainment read my damn mind
STILL A BOP EVEN IN Oct. 2024!
Rania / BLACKSWAN is my favorite group despite member changes

This song got me back into K-Pop.
Still love it 9 years later, miss RANIA
TEMAZO TEMAZO TEMAZOOOOO. Rania definitivamente está muy infravalorada, y estuvo adelantada para su época.
my new favorite song
God this was such a bop. AND STILL IS.
2021 anyone? STILL ONE OF THE BEST BRAVE BROTHERS SONGS THEY MADE
2022 instead
Never gets old
Remember all the hate they had that time, but for me I was vibing to all Rania songs! Legendary Queens!!
this song is just *chefs kiss*
The song is catchy and pretty good , just that the choreo could have been more tight in the MV its a bit sloppy.
working with props is a bitch specially if its a cane or some long object
Really catchy.
Yeah, the choreo is pretty sloppy but I would give them some credit since this MV is more than 3 years old.
YourName I know I do give them credits for it but it's not their best choreo because even when they dont have the light stick they didn't change the dance, to me they should have thought of an alternative, but I still love this song on of my top kpop songs.
***** They changed the choreography for the live performances :)
Rania was one of the best raising groups but were poorly managed and had many line up changes due to the HORRIBLE management from their company DR Music. The original and first line up consisted of

VERDADERAS REINAS
My mum was Teddy Riley's accountant... before he ignored her advice and spent himself into bankruptcy back in the 90s. My sister and I were in his trailer once, but I was too young to care very much. On the other hand, if he's investing in Rania, maybe he's finally making good business choices.
If wikipedia is right, that means he already ended his "professional relationship" with them though.... So I guess it's past tense now. :/
***** yes, it ended a long time ago.
