After School’s Raina says, “The camera is always on UEE”

[bmo.livejournal.com]

On October 1st, KBS 2TV‘s ‘Declaration of Freedom Saturday- Immortal Song 2‘ featured After School member, Raina who revealed some disappointments she experienced while promoting activities with After School.

Before her performance of “I want to know” by Lee Sun Hee, she had a brief interview where she began with, “I really wanted to participate in this program.”

She continued, “There are a lot of members in our group. I’ve really worked hard even to the point where I felt I was going to vomit blood because I sang so much. However, at times it felt like the camera was only on UEE unnie, and I did feel a little discouraged. That’s why I’ve always wanted to deliver a song with my voice alone.”

Right before her performance, the idol said, “I hope my song gets delivered to everyone in a good way.” The audience was completely mesmerized by her emotional rendition of the song, which the idol sung flawlessly.

i understand how she feels after someone from tlist made me think about it tbh. she sings more(?) than half the songs and she was even the main character on the shampoo mv but even so she's not recognized as much as the others B(

ia lijjy.

If you think Raina feels bad, imagine how Jungah must feel. She used to be the main vocalist before Raina got all her lines.

i think there's more to it than we know tbh tho B( i know she's sick so maybe it has to do with that?

[mediumpurple.livejournal.com]

then what about jungah or even jooyeon oh and BEKAH!?

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

but thanks uee you are getting you bills paid yo! girl deserves her spotlight!

now being more srs/mature, i don't really see from where this comes from, because while she is not as popular as uee, kahi or nana, she gets a lot of screentime (i'm mentioning screentime because she said so) because she sings 50%+ of the songs, plus whenever jungah is singing they have the habit of film raina. heck she gets even more screentime than uee, the only difference is that uee often steals the spotlight when she is in the back because she just grabs your, well at least mine, attention.

if someone had to complain about lack of screentime while singing should be jungah, e-young and joo bekah too.

i guess B(

idk tho i still kinda understand what shes saying a little. i think she just really wishes she could go solo.

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

your screeching lets us know you're still there
think about jungah or my bb bekah then come whine about camera time

[bmo.livejournal.com]

xcuse me, leave ur mean comments OUT OF MY POST >B(

[funkaliciousss.livejournal.com]

rightfully so.

[pladpuss.livejournal.com]

Raina doesn't have much stage presence she has a lovely voice but I don't get excited or have my eyes on her when the group is performing. I mostly notice Gahee, Nana, Jungah because they ooze charisma.

[bmo.livejournal.com]

this is rly true.

[fallingstarryuu.livejournal.com]

she is the definition of boring in AS tbh =/ the others all have something to ooze up their profile, Raina is just voice and that bad nose job.

[bmo.livejournal.com]

her voice is beautiful ;____;

[bmo.livejournal.com]

RAINA HAS A BEAUTIFUL VOICE B( u guys r too mean!

[lasthenia.livejournal.com]

ia

[love-keiko.livejournal.com]

they need to start giving her songs within her vocal range because i feel like she screeches through all of AS songs and that performance on immortal song was REALLY good

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

the songs are in jungahs range

[lasthenia.livejournal.com]

ilu Raina fuq da h8rs

[invadeddreams.livejournal.com]

[donutism.livejournal.com]

Raina is a perfect, flawless, better than ur fave, etc etc etc

[youlittle.livejournal.com]

i have a friend who looks almost exactly like raina, except minus the nose. the resemblance is uncanny omg

[bmo.livejournal.com]

should show me ur noses tbh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

my nose is beautiful like a rose button okay!

[pussyqueen.livejournal.com]

no comment. but you know kahi will probably scream at her back at the dorm for saying that on tv

[bmo.livejournal.com]

i think she already did cause she just tweeted about how shes sorry about a comment she made i think

[apple-fries.livejournal.com]

this is so ungrateful considering UEE's sweat, blood & tears went into nana's gender reassignment and raina and lizzy's species reassignment surgeries.

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

lmao omg i shouldn't have laughed this hard, i'm going to hell.

[coffee-ika.livejournal.com]

raina ilu and its ok bc this perf was osm.

[jeit91.livejournal.com]

[loveshatori.livejournal.com]

seriously what is wrong with omona
man the comments make you guys seem soo superficial
im not even close to being a stan and i can see
that she has a great voice
and soo what if she feels that way ohh suddenly she cant
express herself and here i thought you guys appreciate honestly once
in a while from an idol instead of all that everything is always great and fine bullshit idols alot of the times say

[iamtheliquorr.livejournal.com]

That was actually a lot better than I expected

Given the comments up in hurr I was expecting a performance on par with Stellar levels

[dapo322.livejournal.com]

She does sound good here, but I can see where some people are coming from. There are times when she sings high notes and she sounds like she is just screeching. There are performances of AS's song Bang! where the high note she sings sounds horrible. I do think it probably comes from her having to the do the high notes over and over during promos that it takes a toll on her voice.

/end long response

I like Raina and she should get as much scree time as her singing allows. If it's a "wah wah so and so is more popular" she'll have to suck it up because half of AS gets pushed aside.
