As many fans have expected, Alex has officially been removed from BP RaNia. Many fans had been questioning their company about her absence and DR. Music has finally addressed the matter and explained why she is no longer a member.
On August 19, the agency announced on their official Facebook page, "Alexandra is no longer a member of BP Rania." The company then followed up with an official letter on their website which can be read down below.
"Dear Fans, BP Rania is finally back. First of all, we would like to say thank you for supporting us no matter what. We are deeply appreciated. Recently, there have been issues related to racism, boycotting, petition, etc on our official SNS. We have noticed that many fans have been worried because of these issues. For this digital single, we DR Music, BP Rania, staff, have been working so hard to show you what we have been preparing. About the title song, all our staff, the artists have reached to an agreement that Alexandra is no longer a member of BP Rania. We have gone through quite many conversations &meetings and agreed to promote with 5 members. This decision is not due to rumors such as racism etc. Being on stages with what kind of songs, what choreography couldn't be decided only by the company indeed.
Thank you for your support.
Best
DR Music"
Fans were immediately angered by the company's delivery and overall message regarding Alex. Fans left various comments saying, "Of course - Alex was just a prop," "I'm not surprised this finally happened... poor Alex" and "Korean's don't care about black people." Fans also stated Alex was the only reason they continued to follow BP Rania and will no longer take interest in the group.
Alex had joined BP Rania back in November of 2015 during their "Demonstrate" promotions. Now, after two long years of working and training in Korea, she is finally pursuing her career back in America. Do you feel Alex was used and mistreated? Let us know in the comments!
