omonatheydidHello, this is DR MUSIC.
We will state the few issues that have been discussed about our company recently.
[the only important bits are bolded. everything else is filler 🙄]
Regarding the hiring of the back-up dancers during April for the Gwangmyeong cave program, the TV broadcasting team asked us to introduce a back-up dancer for a VR shoot so we hired a dance team that we had signed a contract with. The two members who left the dance group posted on our fan café and Facebook page that they have not received their payment, because they did not understand that it takes time to process the payment and it is given after the program airs on TV.
After the incident, we had a direct phone conversation and we solved the issue with a dance team leader who was familiar about the situation on the TV appearance fee, so we want to tell you that our company has no relation with the issues the dance team is having amongst themselves.
The rumors that are going around that say that our company is not able to release an album because we lack the funds is a pity and we feel that is very unfair to our company.
Our company is reputable and has produced more than 30 albums over the 28 years. But because our company is an independent medium sized business and we do not receive any investment, the truth of the matter is that we have issues with our funding, which is a pity.
But we invested a large amount of funds, spent 3 billion Korean Won on discovering the group (Rania) members, training them and to produce Rania’s 6 albums for you guys who love Rania. Unfortunately we have not received the adequate amount of love and struggling with finance. However, we think that this is something that our company has to deal with.
The tracks, Make me ah, Anyone, Killer that were supposed to be released on April 8th are already done with the recording and the choreography. It is not because we have lack of funding that we are not able to make a comeback. The process for the above is all paid for and we are ready to make a comeback at any given time.
We would like to clear the air and explain about the rumors clearly that are going around about the members but since we are at the process of getting advice from the company’s lawyer; we cannot uncover everything about the truth at this stage, we hope you will understand.
Di, T-ae and Xia have not finished with their contracts with our company, which means that the three are still currently our company’s singers.
Our company, during the 28 years of business signing contracts with so many artists; have never had a single artist leaving the company by violating the contract.
Sometimes, unexpected issues come up when you’re in the entertainment business.
Regarding this, we will inform you later on because this is a chance for us to correct anything that is wrong. So we wish you would keep with us.
The members are currently spending sleepless nights to produce a hip hop album due to be released.
We wish you would show a lot of support to the members who are working very hard.
alternate translation by @nineonef1ve:
T/N: *Translations are not 100% accurate due to the lack of language proficiency. [OP note: she also didn't translate the first part on the dancers]
disclaimer: I know the person behind A1st Central has done very shitty things towards the group and the fandom in the past and made false accusations, so I'm not posting any of the other allegations, but you can read them on Facebook here. I personally believe the allegation about the dancers not getting paid (she pasted their angry comments in a fancafe post) but yeah, take with a pinch of salt anyway!
the VR shoot referenced in the statement is this video (watch on mobile). about the contracts, are they trying to imply that Di, T-ae and Xia are trying to violate their contracts?? (if so, I hope they manage to get out successfully)
about the members, the rumour is that Di, T-ae and Xia (the last of the original 2011 lineup) have left the group. for people who aren't keeping up with Rania, it's been really apparent that something's been brewing for at least a month now. Di, T-ae and Xia all stopped posting on SNS in late March (they returned to Korea from Thailand on 21 March - things still seemed okay in Thailand). new members/maknae line (Alex, Seulji, Hyeme) have been posting regularly, especially Alex/Seulji and their practice room photos. Alex has been posting snaps in the practice room/with their manager Johnny.
not sure of timeline on the following: Di, T-ae and Xia all locked their Instagram accounts and Di and T-ae locked their Twitter accounts. T-ae deleted all photos from Demonstrate era (though she's been known to mass-delete SNS posts before). most damningly, Di unfollowed the three new members (Alex, Seulji, Hyeme) on Twitter and Instagram... Alex isn't following Di on Instagram anymore too, but she did tweet a pic of Di and a video of the group recently.

I don't know what else to do say about this except hahahahahahahahaahaahahaha... I just saw them 50 days ago and things imploded so quickly?? I'm really sad about the original members but I hope they do what's best for themselves regardless of what that means for the group...they deserve better than what they've gotten from Dr Music in the last five years. idk how they're going to recover from this situation tbh..
