Teddy Riley, the First Expansion In Asia is the debut extended play by South Korean girl group, Rania, released on April 6, 2011, by DR Music and Yedang Company. It is the only release by the group to feature the original eight-member lineup, as member Yijo left the group shortly after the EP's release.

Background[]

The album's lead single, "Dr Feel Good," was composed, written, and produced by Teddy Riley, who originally made the song for Lady Gaga.[1]

Promotion[]

Rania promoted their debut with showcases in Thailand, Cambodia, Singapore, the Philippines, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, Laos, and Vietnam.[2] Member Yijo was absent in promotions due to visa issues.

Reception[]

Rania's debut was met with mixed reviews in Korea, as many viewers found the group's image too provocative.[3] As a result, Rania were forced to change their choreography and make minor changes to the outfits.[4] Riley himself announced he would disassociate himself with the group as he believed that the group and comeback were attempts to use him for his name and status.[5] Despite this, singles "Dr. Feel Good" and "Masquerade both charted at 99 and 192 on the GAON chart respectively.[6][7]
