So, I know they aren't big, and probably won't be, but considering their style and this is JPHiP, I think they deserve a thread

Having just debuted in Korea, and soon to debut in America, RaNia are produced by Teddy Riley who has previously worked with Michael Jackson, The Pussycat Dolls, Jay-Z and R. Kelly. Member T-ae played Jay Park's sister in his movie Hype Nation. RaNia consists of members from China, Thailand and Korea and in order to market further to the global market, they all speak Korean, Chinese, English, Japanese and Thai. On top that, they have very talented vocals and dancing skills. The group have a Twitter account

RaNia was first announced to debut in November 2010 as a eight-member group, however, Sarah left the group before their actual debut six months later in April 2011 with the digital single "Teddy Riley, The First Expansion In Asia". The group is also expected to debut in America with an English version of the digital single lead track (also included on the Korean release).

RaNia means RegenerAtion Networked Idol of Asia

WOW! Never had such a hard time researching a group! I'm not 100% sure of this info, i think there might be two former members or one former member or something... anyway, I will look it up later when there are more sources and fix the info~
For now, enjoy those delicious thighs and enjoy their debut performance on a music show as well, coz OMFG some epic angles here

And Enjoy it while it lasts coz I'm sure they will be banned soon

*goes to save pics from the perf to upload that are even hotter*

It's good times for KPop for me.. Lot of provocative girl groups.. mmm.

^LOL I know right?
I'm a little disappointed that they didn't sing live...but then again it is their debut stage, couple other groups have done the same. Hopefully the next one they sing live before they get banned!! lol

Got DAMN!

Perf from music bank:

Sounded like some of them singed live but some of them not? I dunno but the perf was still sweet

lollipopgirl · « **Reply #10 on:** April 08, 2011, 04:08:01 PM »

Nice to hear them sing live this time, or at least some of them, showed their vocals really do rock

And tbh, I think the song sounds better and better everytime I hear it.
I don't think that T-ae & Di part will ever get old

I left their perf to the last I watched tonight for a reason

HAWT DUMN!

so that's where Teddy Riley went lol. Last I saw him he was doing a crappy track with Method Man

zoolander · « **Reply #12 on:** April 08, 2011, 11:05:07 PM »

Holy shit. I didn't even connect that it was Teddy Riley of Guy and Blackstreet.

Good performance, nice to see some of them sing live and it was actually good

I've got this group in my favorites already!

They're pure hotness, DAYUM

Stryfe · « **Reply #15 on:** April 09, 2011, 05:11:01 PM »

I know you want more of this...

Deft-Monkey · « **Reply #16 on:** April 10, 2011, 08:24:10 AM »

I hope they hurry up and hit the States. Not sure how much longer they'll last in South Korea with this image and I want them to stick around

I think they pulled off what Nine Muses were aiming for. So much sex appeal, right there

Why does the underage one have to be in the lesbian moment?

I want to be considerate of both her in a moral sense and myself, but one gets hurt in either case

Recording making of Dr. Feel Good

Damn these girls got some good vocals. It was a good idea to have this BTS to show the people their talents

Amplifier · « **Reply #19 on:** April 20, 2011, 08:30:11 PM »

Had Dr. Feel Good stuck in my for days
