K-pop’s Most Controversial Debut ‖ Rania's 'DR. Feel Good'

[@jebipop]

"you know what's missing from kpop recently? good old fashioned pu$sy popping music." caught me super off guard but i laughed so hard 😭

"It went triple platinum in my house" girl saaaaaame Dr Feel Good is still my anthem to this day ✨

[@andreijoo]

DR Feel Good is THAT song. When I first heard it, it last for more than 3 months in my playlist 😂😂

[@davestridr]

7:46 “dr feelgood changed the trajectory of my life. it cleared my skin, watered my crops, it gave me good grades, it fed me, it’s simply too good to be this slept on” spitting facts

[@FriendscallmeLouLou]

Singlehandedly ended the drought in America.🤣

[@EdgarARetiz]

Yes!!! The sexy concept (with age appropriate idols) has been missed from the industry!!!

[@brennathecatlover4360]

Weren’t 2 minors 17 going on 18 but I think they were fine with the concept from what I found?

[@karinano1stan]

​@@brennathecatlover4360well yes, although the crotch close-up was a 17 yo 💀💀

[@2FullMoons]

GURL I just discovered this song 2 weeks or so ago and was like ‘this is the c*ntiest thing I’ve ever seen in second gen AND I LIVE’ and not you now making a video about it... THAT CHOREO... it’s my nomination for the ‘Top 5 most gaggiest choreos of the 2nd Gen’. I’ve been saying this, stop debuting minors and bring back the sexy concept, I am sure there are plenty of idols that would want to do it more than the girl crush or whatever concepts are popular these days. Kpop became SO conservative if you think about it...

[@rm3364]

Preach!! ❤

[@melodyShaffronICHILLIN_fan]

I just listened them two weeks ago too.

[@nekorei2023]

I agree, but it is also about consent if they wanna do it. Stellar didn't but they were adults so both ages + consent matter too

[@zacharikurbah6358]

The song is amazing, but the company mismanaged them, keep changing the lineup, now blackswan reputation is ruined because of the graduation and admission system

[@mavenism]

tbh rania's journey was very long and confusing, dr music should do better w blackswan

[@ReapTheWhirlwind]

The mature groups that exist today would get called hags if they did a sexy concept. People constantly decry the lack of sexy concepts but stan groups with minors and I don't know what they expect. Anyway, VIVIZ and Dreamcatcher(their cover of Something is amazing!) would both absolutely slay a sexy concept.

[@Carolina-bw6gy]

Sameee. Red velvet, Blackpink, Chungha, The boyz, Seventeen, Nct 127 would rock sexy concepts but its hard to expect that from mainstream kpop, specially when nowadays the trend is the y2k soft pop, not the genres jazzy, r&b or club edm sound (common in sexy concepts) I dont expect nugus or rookies from 4th or 5th gen coming with sexy concept, the only one of the new gen that does that is Onlyoneof lmao.

[@vixxexo6855]

You know I've seen Dreamcatcher live doing sexy choreography on stage and they SLAY! They could totally pull it off if they wanted to. Maybe a sexy horror concept.

[@galaxy_kitten95]

I have no shame in saying this: I was 15 when RaNia debuted. Their debut as a whole and the music video is what made me became legitimately attracted to girls. Di being my main bias back then because of her short blonde hair. Later that year, I came out as bisexual. ❤ Aside from that, I recall people calling RaNia the dark version of SNSD due to the larger member count. Dr. Feel Good and Masquerade are still great songs today! English or Korean. I also recommend “Goodbye,” easily one of the prettiest ballads I’ve heard. The members really shined through their vocals.

[@cranburrey]

For me it was her and Sunny (The Boys era). I swear it's the blonde short hair that gets me

[@ranma8834]

@@cranburrey sunny with short blonde or pink (i got a boy era) is literally a goddess on earth 😭😭

[@kumaxhime]

I was 14 (and also bisexual) and I was obsessed with this song! 2nd gen still hits different. I miss this kind of concept.

[@clarityvee]

“and the korean version debuted on gaon at 110, and peaked at 99. in my household, it reached triple platinum” okay but same 😂

[@andredrw289]

Lord where are the good Kpop hoe anthems lately!! 2nd gen really was the blueprint.

[@meemee8423]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Well said!

[@meemee8423]

I was obsessed(still am) with Dr. Feel Good when it came out, that shii was on repeat!!!! Teddy Riley produced a masterpiece, it truly was ahead of its time imo. I don’t think the public was ready for this type of concept at the time of its release.

[@OneProudBBC]

My only gripe about this debut is on how Jooyi was treated. They made her sing the whole song without any screentime. I would prefer they double or triple the line distribution of the other members but give Jooyi at least 20-30 seconds of solo screentime to make up for her lost lines.

[@soupsimmer3538]

Iv’e literally been Listening to this song nonstop the last few days it really is a shame that Rania (and nowadays Blackswan) were under that AWFUL Company

[@MMCCCIX]

THE GOOD OLD FASHIONED WHAT NOW???😭🤣🤣 0:31

[@honor__]

Dr. Feel Good is a masterpiece

[@whatever9097]

I would love a video on Dreamcatcher! I think their such a great example of organic growth and a group being managed well. Their journey from Minx to re-debut, being on MixNine, to getting their 1st win more than 5 years after debut and performing in Spain.

[@auroriiiia]

Now I know why the name was so familiar!! This was the current Blackswan my god 🤯😅😩we need sexy concepts back in kpop but companies just want to exploit teenagers so I don't think it's happening 😭😭

[@katet8639]

I want C*NT back in K-pop... like yeah some new groups are cute and make now 00s rnb, pop and dnb/garage music blah blah blah but those are nice. Nice is not always c*nty. I agree with you sm, I want age appropriate sexy concept back for us grown kpop fans who grew up with those late 2nd gen concepts,

[@jooyigram]

RaNia's Just Go album is truly masterpiece, one of the best k-pop albums ever!

[@insomniatic991]

Honestly Dr Music had the best chance to make something of Rania but they let it slip away by constantly letting them down with promotions and collabs. Easily the best era of the group to this day.

[@battiebumpkin]

I love the intro because, yes, I really do miss the p*ssy popping era of music in K-pop--STOP DEBUTING CHILDREN!!

[@Izfar916]

This song was it in 2011. It was one of the song that pioneer the sexy kpop era.

[@terrimnida]

I literally loved Rania. One of the first groups I stanned. I loved the adult theme, there's none of that in kpop. Similar groups like nine muses and after school are also disbanded which is sad.

[@gojiramonster2388]

it's so funny, because dr. feel good randomly showed up on my music playlist, and i was so excited to hear it again!! such a good song, i really had a chokehold on me in high school

[@ZebstrikaGirl]

As an A1st thank you for highlighting RaNia. It's just so sad their management was terrible. I feel like if they had debuted today it would still be controversial yet popular

[@Gyaahz]

This song was and is still a banger! Second generation kpop is still the best imo ❤

[@slylover123]

In my house it reached triple platinum 💀

[@gwenmloveskpopandmore]

Thanks for making a video on them midnight 🔮❤️ Dr Feel Good is such a good song.I felt bad for all the members from all the Rania lineup chances. I think The company should close cause they can’t seem to learn from their mistakes.

[@shaywright7790]

A week ago this song came back up on my playlist and I lost it all over again for this absolutely banger of a song. A wave of how crazy people reacted to their debut came back to me. I'm so glad you covered this, I kept wondering if you would when I heard it again. I hate what their company did to them, they had insane potential and were genuinely ahead of their time with this concept & it's definitely what we need today. It was beyond just a sexy concept it was one of the first times I had ever seen such a strong image of confidence in one's sex appeal, especially for women, in kpop and I think it brought out that confidence in women who enjoyed it. In short, it made every a bit of a thotty and we should celebrate that.😌

[@rm3364]

A1ST since the beginning, A1ST for life! I‘ve been a Rania stan since forever and I‘ve lived through all of their hardships, member changes and their company‘s shitty management for the past 10 years and I don‘t regret a single minute! ❤

[@JulieloveSKZxDC]

I'm still listening to the song ,that era legendary for some groups but not everyone survived

[@ursula0the0mocro]

Can you maybe make a video about Chocolat, I really loved that group and never knew what happened in they end, (and yes we need more sexy girl groups like Rania or 9muses that are over 20 years old atleast)

[@mariah7866]

I listen to this song and their other songs so much, they were ahead of their time for sure

[@pastelitoconcaramelo]

rania vino a chile en 2012 y tocaron este tema en vivo, fue maravilloso. recuerdo esos dias con mucho cariño

[@vicc0002]

I wish old K-pop could be brought back in general, maybe it wasnt as famous as it is now, but fight me, that was K-pop at its best.

[@kyupiddreams]

OMG THIS SONG IS STILL A BOP

[@gwenmloveskpopandmore]

Imagine if Lady Gaga had this song instead of Applause I can and can’t imagine lol

[@_bloomoon_]

Dr. Feel Good is still in TOP5 best kpop debuts People need to realize that fact

[@mus7c]

whenever i see the question what song should get the brave girls rolling' treatment next? my answer is dr. feel good by rania. it's too good of a song for how it's been forgotten, even the english version is one of the best (if not THE best) in k-pop. it's so unfortunate the teddy riley was right and they were unable to keep their momentum going thanks to their shady ass company, i really wonder what would've been of them if he had follow up with that promise to sign them with him if they left the company.

[@escritora84]

Dr. Feel Good was one of the first kpop songs my little sisters introduced me to, and it's still iconic to me to this day. It's a shame South Korea hates sexy concepts, because had DR Music done right by them, they would've been huge in the states. I grew up on Teddy Riley's music (Wrecks=n--Effect, Guy, Blackstreet, etc) and he's very well respected in R&B circles. He's part of the reason I love Shinee and EXO's music so much.

It doesn’t look like Korean consumers look at sexy concepts as fierce as much as it can be seen in the West. The musical industry is so shady and sometimes the girls debuting are so young that it’s hard to enjoy it fully

"...what's missing from KPOP recently?" As if all the past was without a blemish....okay. The early iterations are without any controversary, so I am told, and insulted in public because I remember. No one has a claim on the recordings from the clubs for reasons of that almighty dollar.

[@bloobebri]

Dr. Feel good was so c*nty like an actual culturally significant moment.

[@idkjshssbvVs]

This is false actually they disbanded in 2015 and dr replaced them with bprania and blackswan, rania and bprania are three different groups

[@julisouzaa]

In practice, it's not a lie... DR only decided to stop trying to resurrect Rania when basically all of BP Rania left or disappeared. Then came Black"flop"Swan

[@andreijoo]

BP Rania is still Rania tho 🥹. DRM haven't changed the group status, consistently incorporating the Rania name to their girl group. Rania's disbandment in 2015 isn't true either, since Saem came back in 2017 for BP Rania, and Alex leaving BP Rania, removing the “BP” and using Rania until their last year of activity.

[@nanayasu]

ok but like can we talk about how when they rebranded as Blackswan in 4th gen they also sreved cvnt with their debut. like the song and expecially the mv

[@julisouzaa]

Blackswan is only special because it is made up of girls from different ethnicities and does not have any Koreans in the lineup. The songs are good, girls are talented but they're generic... I don't think they're a competitive group like Rania was.
