After School's Raina Opens Up About Rental Scam Experience on SBS PowerFM

Raina, former member of After School and Orange Caramel, recently revealed her experience as a victim of a rental scam, drawing significant attention.

On October 15th, Raina appeared on SBS PowerFM's 'Cultwo Show'. Returning with her new song 'Another Word for Love', she joined creator Lallal and singer Kim Tae-hyun in the 'Love Call Center' segment.

Raina shared that she had been working without an agency for a while but recently signed with a new one. She expressed, "I drove myself and negotiated my appearance fees. It was challenging because I wasn't used to it, as my previous agency handled everything." She credited her participation in 'Sing Again 3' as the reason for finding a new agency, realizing her lingering passion for singing. "I wasn't confident about releasing a new album before, but it strengthened my resolve," she added.

Introducing her new song 'Another Word for Love', Raina described it as "waiting for someone to reach out and embrace you again." She clarified, "It's not about me," explaining that her style differs from the song's protagonist. "I'm the type who moves on without regrets. Once it's over, it's over," she stated. Although she admitted to ignoring texts like "Are you up?", she confessed, "I've reached out again when I still had feelings."

Additionally, Raina empathized with a fellow rental scam victim, sharing her own experience. "I had rental insurance, so I got my money back, but the scammer wasn't caught," she revealed, publicly calling out the scammer, "Mr. Jeong Chang-dong from Sangdo-dong, are you living well with that money?"
