Aftermath of BP RANIA situation and the effect on KPOP

[GuardianofTheCosmicRealm]

Do you feel what happened to Alex in Rania changed the industry how companies treats foreign idols? Or is the situation still unchanged?

unchanged lmaooo
they had her standing on the side for performances
she was also from a company that is not as powerful in the idol industry
i doubt it affected anyone to treat foreign artists better

I doubt it, Rania wasn't that successful as a group so they didn't exactly have much of impact an the industry at all.

In honesty, as much as the situation of Alex could be another eye opener to behind the scene of kpop industry, I think only from being an outbreaking viral issue across BOTH Korea and globally, with the help of one idol's reputation could spark something for a change.

Otherwise, no hard feeling but it's gonna be hard since Alex is basically not even Korean for the Korean to give a damn on her issue, sadly. Furthermore, DR Music is pretty much a nugu label despite having Baby V.O.X. as their idol line-up back then (like way back then). Their reputation is pretty obsolete for fans today to say they're well known.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

Although, I think you could re-share the issue about Alex so people know what are you getting at.

Honestly, going from what she said in the video with Grace I was pleasantly surprised that she said idols would cheer her on a lot and be supportive and cute and she never felt any kind of racism from idols or fans or staff... tbh this in itself is the most important part. Shows that idols themselves are open to it and the public seems to be too

The issue about the companies will probably stay the same, they're just overall shitty and shittier to foreigners, anyways...
