RaNia promoting "Style" (2012)

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).

Only a few days after their debut a new member was introduced, YiJo. She was a last-minute addition to the group after Sarah left the group, hence she did not promote the single with the group as she need more practice, however, she appeared briefly on their debut music video and on the early promotional pictures of RaNia.

After the release of their debut single music video and their first live performances, a controversy arose surrounding the sexually suggestive choreography and outfits. Subsequently, the group changed the choreography and the member's outfits for their performances in order to not be banned from TV broadcasts.

In response of the controversy Teddy Riley uploaded a new version of the music video on PMGASIA official YouTube Channel titled "Dr Feel Good (Too Hot For Netizens)".
