⸻⠀⠀⠀⠀𝑪𝑯𝑨𝑷𝑻𝑬𝑹 .ᐟ hello again, lux.
𝐓𝐖⠀·⠀slight references to mental health.⠀⠀⠀⠀𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐓⠀·⠀1822.⠀⠀⠀⠀𝐒𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆⠀·⠀lux entertainment's headquarters, 2025.⠀⠀⠀⠀𝐒𝐘𝐍𝐎𝐏𝐒𝐈𝐒⠀·⠀while walking through lux entertainment's headquarters, ji-ah is confronted for the first time by a unique figure from her past. with this encounter, she begins to wonder if she will ever overcome certain ghosts from her past.
⠀⠀⠀⠀When she was younger, Ji-ah used to tell herself the company corridors were like a fantastical never-ending maze she'd never be able to escape.
⠀⠀⠀⠀In her early years, as a trainee, this gave her some kind of reassurance. She had a permanent place, somewhere to go back to when things got too tough. There were familiar faces around, and her knowledge of the chaotic, unique, musical sea of the place helped her navigate it. If luck was on her side on a random day, she could occasionally bump into the artists she admired so much and exchange a few words. Feeling that sense of belonging. It was paradise, like Valerie at the beginning of the Czech film she once watched with Woonie, a lifetime ago.
⠀⠀⠀⠀Now, after so many years and so much had happened, walking around there still felt like an endless maze, but if she had to compare it to something, would compare it to backrooms. A nightmare. Those strange films and video games where someone is walking down the street and falls into a lost dimension, where there is nothing but silence, anguish and the presence of a monster lurking in the corridors, looking for a soul to devour. Never in danger, but never truly safe.
⠀⠀⠀⠀Always running around. No hope.
⠀⠀⠀⠀The sound of her high heels hitting against the floor helped her stay in the moment, keeping her mind from wandering so far away to the point of getting lost. No return. Either that or the amount of years of treatment and medication. Either way, she had made it through the day without going crazy. The meeting with the marketing team had been a success, and now only minor adjustments were needed to get everything ready for the album release. She would have preferred everything to be ready to go already; it felt like her hand had frozen when learned that it wasn't the case, as if Siberia had reached Lux's backyard just to personally visit her. But if that place had taught anything, it was to work with what she had been given.
⠀⠀⠀⠀Make a lemonade even when there are no lemons. Or they were rotten to the core.
⠀⠀⠀⠀— Alice, you always manage to get attention, don't you?
⠀⠀⠀⠀As much as the measured sweetness of the voice sounded politely friendly, it was as if she had felt a knife enter her back and was being pulled down millimetre by millimetre. Cutting her open in the middle of a fucking corridor. The sound of heels hitting the floor only reached afterwards. Ji-ah hated herself for a few seconds, noticing the flow of her own thoughts had made it impossible to be aware of her surroundings. To remember where she was and what that could mean.
⠀⠀⠀⠀If she had been more attentive, precocious, in the moment, she wouldn't have crossed paths with Mei at that moment.
⠀⠀⠀⠀— Mei, long time no see… — Should have said something else, sounded smarter and more attentive, but couldn't. Lost all the words.
⠀⠀⠀⠀— It's definitely been a long time, honey. — The space between them narrowed and now she could see that perfect smile, which haunted her for years, up close. — You're our personal troublemaker, you know that, right? Everything you touch or do, creates so many headlines... Whether they speak highly or poorly of you, they all talk about Alice, don't they?
⠀⠀⠀⠀The perfect smile was still there and Ji-ah's hands were clenched so tightly that she could feel her fingers were about to pass through to the other side, somehow, any moment now. There were only two smiles in that whole company she fucking hated and one of them was right there.
⠀⠀⠀⠀Drawn with expensive lipstick.
⠀⠀⠀⠀— It's a good thing we're in a place that allows us to express ourselves freely, isn't it? — Retorted quickly, mentioning Mei's quote from a recent statement, and for a millisecond was sure to see Mei's smile suffer a glitch. Very quick, tiny, but very delightful. — People have been really enjoying authenticity lately...
⠀⠀⠀⠀‘You should try it one of these days’, she meant to say, but preferred to keep things on the back burner. They would only heat up if the woman in front of her wanted them to.
⠀⠀⠀⠀— Of course! And given your condition, I imagine you have a lot... How do they say it nowadays? — She snapped her fingers, pretending to search for a word in the thin air. It came to her easily, like everything in her whole life. — Ah, a lot of personal lore to introduce to your fans. Let’s just hope the public is really interested in it, because few people care about surrealism, to be honest. It’s all very random and weird, you know?
⠀⠀⠀⠀Mei’s sharp eyes never left out of focus for a second, like a predator looking for reactions to understand if she was getting what she wanted. Close enough of a big bite. Alice had known how this dance worked for years; she was always seen as easy prey. However, during the woman's rather uninspired villainous speech, she reacted to almost nothing. She remained calm and serene, which was unlike her old persona, showing how much she had changed in the years of absence. She had confidence in her art, and no one else's opinion would change that.
⠀⠀⠀⠀It was obvious that this didn't go unnoticed by Mei. Mei, who always knew everything. Mei, who was always two steps ahead. Mei, who knew the industry better than anyone else.
⠀⠀⠀⠀Mei, who helped create everything there was now. Whether good or bad.
⠀⠀⠀⠀— Real art will find its ideal audience. — She replied after a moment of silence, confident.
⠀⠀⠀⠀— Definitely! — Mei's pretentiousness didn’t go anywhere near unnoticed. — It's going to be a big year for fans. Did you know Sunny is also releasing an album soon? I heard the news the other day and got really excited...
⠀⠀⠀⠀Ji-ah shrugged slightly and immediately felt guilty for doing so. Mei smiled as if she had just won the lottery. Fuck!
⠀⠀⠀⠀— It's a shame she left Lux, you know? I heard from very good sources the album will be super artistic too, but more down to earth. Mature, just like her. — Her smile only got brighter, and Ji-ah could decipher the messages the older woman wanted to pass on. — Black Swan and Red Shoes as main inspirations, much closer to the audience. Everyone knows how much ballet screams Sunny. I can't wait to hear it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀Once again, silence fell between them, and this time Ji-ah had to admit defeat because that woman knew her so well and was capable of destroying her self-esteem even after so many years. After everything she had been through, Mei and Sunny were the shiny little beautiful pebbles in her old shoe.
⠀⠀⠀⠀She didn't need to search for words, because Mei was aware of her actions and how she had delivered a checkmate to the other without even having to go very far. That was what hurt Alice the most, how she was always the easy piece to move on Lux's board.
⠀⠀⠀⠀— Just gossip between us, but some say the album is an open letter to Tiger. Do you think they'll get back together? — She spoke as if they were two friends chatting. — You two fought over him, didn't you?
⠀⠀⠀⠀The melodious giggle and perfect tone made Ji-ah's blood boil under her skin like a volcano so close to erupt. But she only sighed heavily.
⠀⠀⠀⠀— No. — Emphatically crossed her arms in front of her body. — Sunny thought we fought, thought, and the media...
⠀⠀⠀⠀— Hm… — Mei pretended not to understand. — Anyway, Tiger always was more suited to Sunny, if you think about it. I think they’re on the same level, they understand each other better. Although, after all the trouble he caused, well…
⠀⠀⠀⠀The way Ji-ah was looked at made her almost lose control. It was as if she was seen only for her fragility, for her personal moments of darkness and loneliness. She had worked on the idea of not being defined by these things for a long time, and yet it was difficult to put into practice. Even more so with Mei there, knowing exactly which buttons to push.
⠀⠀⠀⠀— Alice, I was looking for you!
⠀⠀⠀⠀It startled her to hear a third voice calling her, seconds before hanging up and giving Mei exactly what she wanted. A reason, even the smallest, tiniest, one, to revoke the supposed freedom Lux had given her to come back. Whatever that means. When she looked to the side, Chai was walking down the corridor cheerfully, with a clever look in his eyes that made her breath catch slightly.
⠀⠀⠀⠀— Oh, hi there, Mei. — He pretended only then to have noticed her there. — I’ve been looking for this one for quite a while. Always a master at disappearing!
⠀⠀⠀⠀He put his arm around Alice’s shoulders with such ease she didn’t know if she had blinked or, somehow, if her own body had cuddled up lightly against him. For some reason, she felt more secure like that. Less alone. Less small.
⠀⠀⠀⠀What the fuck.
⠀⠀⠀⠀— I need your help in the studio… — The lie was written all over his face, but it worked. — You know, Mei, Alice and I could be considered the McLennon of Lux!
⠀⠀⠀⠀— No way, Chai?
⠀⠀⠀⠀The boredom on Mei's face almost made Ji-ah laugh for real, simply because she was too lazy to deal with Chai's extroverted and lively personality. Truth be told, Alice felt the same way when they first met, but over time she noticed that there was something comforting about it. Her mind drifted off slightly as the two engaged in small talk, and soon she felt the young man's body carrying her away from Mei with such ease. Like he was handling paper.
⠀⠀⠀⠀— You're welcome, wondie.
⠀⠀⠀⠀His laughter and voice mingled at the bottom of her ear. She should have felt a shiver, but she only felt relief, nodding her head at him as if to say an ethereal ‘thank you’ suspended in the air.
⠀⠀⠀⠀His chatter took over, talking about so many subjects that she couldn't even keep up. And, honestly, she didn't even want to. She wondered how this boy had been her support, someone who saw her darkness without being frightened, who understood her deepest and darkest nightmares. Still, she felt unfair keeping him there, like a faithful puppy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀Truth be told, Alice knew she was using him. Chai and his light. Chai and his enthusiasm. She was taking advantage of everything he had to offer, fully aware she had nothing to give in return. It was terrible to think that, but she had no intention of changing it anytime soon. She had learned to be selfish, and after the situation with Mei, she needed every pillar available to keep herself standing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀Until she didn't need it anymore.

⠀ ⠀ 𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘳𝘢 𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘳𝘢 .ᐟ 📰
⸻⠀⠀⠀⠀𝐕𝐎𝐆𝐔𝐄 𝐊𝐎𝐑𝐄𝐀 𝐄𝐗𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐕𝐄 .ᐟ ALICE IS BACK, a conversation about music and mental health. ⠀ by hwang hye-won⠀·⠀may 21 2025.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⸻⠀⠀⠀⠀TW⠀·⠀mentions of mental health issues. ⠀⠀⠀⠀When the first rumours of Alice's comeback surfaced, the internet was intrigued by the possibilities. Now, after releasing her single ‘Disturbia’, the artist talks to the Vogue Korea team about music, projects, the future and mental health. It's the first time Alice has given an interview in years, making many of the revelations impressive for the public, giving a new look at the facts and her trajectory.
First of all, how does it feel to be back?
⠀⠀⠀⠀Complex, to be honest. It was an internal battle as to whether or not I should come back, but in the end I realised that I'm doing it for myself. I'm nervous, but happy to be able to tell my story from my point of view. I think it's part of a necessary process.
And what is this process? Healing, recovering your narrative or something else?
⠀⠀⠀⠀A bit of both, I believe they're intrinsically linked within the events which happened to me. When my mental health declined, everything declined together because nothing works when your mind isn't working how it should be. You might pretend to the world everything is perfect and, in parts, even to yourself, but it's not sustainable. Going back now, my desire is to heal the fear I developed of expressing myself through art, heal the part of my mind that used to say my art isn't necessary and, in the process, I'm also going to recover my narrative. Perhaps that's why it's such a complex feeling to put into words, but one I've been longing for for some time.
When did you realise ‘I'm ready to do this again’?
⠀⠀⠀⠀There wasn't a specific moment, to be honest. There's no magic light bulb of inspiration switching on at the top of my head [ laughing ]. During those five years, I breathed art all the time as a form of personal salvation. I studied and immersed myself in things which were meaningful to me while treating and looking after myself. Suddenly, in 2023, I was able to return to my personal studio and started playing with music as if I were an unsupervised five-year-old. I spent days and weeks working on endless songs, concepts and other things I wanted to do. As my treatment improved, some of my work began to sound more cohesive and expressive. Finally, in 2024, I started working actively on my new work and, bit by bit, it made sense to me and my team. It was so natural that I ended last year with more than thirty songs ready for release. After that, it was just as natural to work towards a release.
About mental health, what exactly happened to you? Much has been speculated, but nothing has been confirmed.
⠀⠀⠀⠀In 2020 I was diagnosed with psychotic depression, which is nothing more than a severe depression causing you to experience delusions and hallucinations. The decision to refrain from commenting or confirming anything was precisely because I wasn't in an ideal state of mind to deal with it, particularly because the veil between reality was completely fragmented. My state was fragile and the best option was to really get away from anything in the media. I'm sorry for those who were worried and kept in the dark all those years, but sometimes we have to make difficult decisions in order to survive.
How has it been taking care of your mental health over the last five years?
⠀⠀⠀⠀A rollercoaster of emotions. I had some very difficult moments, especially when I was diagnosed, but with time and the right medical care, I started to get back to myself. In fact, psychological treatment gave me the opportunity to discover who I really am, deal with my identity and put my thoughts in order. I was lucky enough to have a team of very competent therapists and I owe them a lot.
Why do you think that happened? Do you think life in the spotlight had an impact?
⠀⠀⠀⠀Why do people get sick? I can't say, only that it happens. Many people who have never even worked in entertainment have gone through the same things as me, or even worse. I believe there were several things in my life that led to this moment, whether on stage or off. You know, life is a tangle of situations that we can hardly unravel. But I do believe that having started very young and dealt with a lot of things an young girl wouldn't know how to handle had some influence, yes, but I can't say that was the only thing or it was the key factor.
How have you been feeling?
⠀⠀⠀⠀I've been fine. I'm still in therapy, leading a healthier life and, incredibly, returning to music has done me a lot of good.
Many Lux Entertainment artists have experienced psychological problems in recent years. How would you describe the company's support in this regard?
⠀⠀⠀⠀I don't have much to say. It all happened during my hiatus, and they waited patiently for me. I think that's enough.
Can we say then Disturbia is about your hallucinations and years of psychotic depression?
⠀⠀⠀⠀Yes and no [ laughing ]. It would be very naïve of me to pretending that a lot of the stuff I'm releasing these days doesn't talk about those dark times of mine, when there were no limits to my mind. But at the same time, I was very attached to art and surrealism has this power to talk about subjects in a different way, almost dreamlike. I've always loved it and believe it's helped me a lot to translate some of the things I've never had the courage to say out loud. But if you like to think of it as a hallucination, I'll find it interesting too [ laughing ].
What can we expect in the future?
⠀⠀⠀⠀That you'll get sick of my face [ laughing ]. A lot of music and other projects, I've missed working and have plenty to say. I'm excited, even if I'm scared, and that's never been able to stop me. Disturbia is just the first chapter of a crazy journey.
Are we talking about an album, a tour, or something more introspective?
⠀⠀⠀⠀You guys want to know too much [ laughing ]. This new era will bring many surprises that I can't reveal yet, but everything has been done with a lot of love and care. I want you to hear the truth from my own voice, but what I can say is that the album is indeed coming. Many other things too, I'm eager to show you everything, but I have to give it time.
⸻⠀⠀⠀⠀𝐄𝐗𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐕𝐄 .ᐟ Alice revealed first-hand to Vogue Korea that her next album, 𝑊𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑎, will be released on 15 June. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀FAN RECEPTION ⠀›⠀ @ alicelanderx im sooooo happy she's ok now but imagine going through all that? idk if i'd have half the strength she had @ madxbyblood now all the hate she received back in 2018/2019 takes on a different weight bc it's quite possible that she was already unwell and everyone was saying she was just a troublemaker you fucking weirdos!!!!!! @ dixturbias i can't wait to hear the album and see what else she's got in store for us!!!! @ galaxieslander just hope lux isn't taking advantage of alice once again especially in such a personal and important era for her but what can you expect from this fucked up company that only knows how to ruin their artists lives? 🤷🏻♀️ @ galaxyhymn king, tiger and sunny sweeties come here we have guests another lux artist whose mental health has been ruined 🤗 @ jiahbeloved why is no one commenting on her apologising for not having said anything about her health? she was healing and feeling guilty for not saying anything this girl deserves sooo much love omg
@ sunwonders her response about lux………. jesus that company really have something sinister going on

wait wait wait what do you mean about the lyrics? how did you do that? 😶🌫️ thats crazy (but in a good way btw)
being crazy is the whole point here, if you think about! but i used to do lyrics for characters on my fanfics back in the day, specially ocs i created to be with my fav artists. became something normal around here, to be honest.
also alice is a very specific character as well, so as much i can found songs that resonates with her melodically, not the same thing happen with the lyrics. i just like to be 100% true with my characters so disturbia came from that. guess i’ll have a bigger work when her album comes out…

⠀⠀⠀⠀𝒜𝐿𝐼𝒞𝐸'S COMEBACK .ᐟ
disturbia is out now, listen here .ᐟ
NAME.⠀ ⠀ ⸻⠀ ⠀ disturbia.
DURATION.⠀ ⠀ ⸻⠀ ⠀ 3:09.
COMPOSITION.⠀ ⠀ ⸻⠀ ⠀ alice.
PRODUCTION.⠀ ⠀ ⸻⠀ ⠀ alice, chai, king.
LANGUAGES.⠀ ⠀ ⸻⠀ ⠀ korean, english, latin.
MV DURATION.⠀ ⠀ ⸻⠀ ⠀ 4:12.
MV DIRECTOR.⠀ ⠀ ⸻⠀ ⠀ jeon do-yun.
at midnight on may 15, 2025 alice released her new single titled "disturbia" on all digital platforms. with slow, heavy instrumentals and a distinctive electronic touch, the song features lyrics that play heavily with surrealism and a loss of reality, echoing both her debut’s parallels to alice in wonderland and something more mature, personal, and deeply psychological. the lyrics are entirely written by alice, proving this comeback is her most personal and raw work to date. two hours later, the music video arrived on youtube, continuing alice’s surrealist narrative.
⸻⠀⠀⠀⠀𝐂𝐀𝐔𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍.ᐟ read the lyrics.
i'm not your problem, after all those years / you're not in control anymore and honey neither am i / i've been playing with fire / and now i'm covered in scars / ooh-ooh, blood has a sweet taste / oh disturbia tormenting me / all those voices are driving me, away from reality / drowning in dreams and scenes / they're making me something else / please, don't follow me anymore, rabbit / surreal became real / taste my blood, i'm sweet too / i'm back to neverland / i'm no good / talk whatever you want, i don't listen / reality distortion turns out to be art for me / i steal the light, even when sick / the way they speak make me more deep away / so, that's me, surreal and great / i'm your worst nightmare / dream about me right now / ooh-ooh, blood has a sweet taste / oh disturbia tormenting me / all those voices are driving me, away from reality / drowning in dreams and scenes / they're making me something else / please, don't follow me anymore, rabbit / surreal became real / taste my blood, i'm sweet too / i'm back to neverland / i'm no good / talk whatever you want, i don't care / reality distortion turns out to be art for me / please, try once more, save me from myself / i'm playing with the unreal / so away from reality i might break for good / blue or red pill to choose / furar mea lux / ego sum tergum / cum usura mihi solves / (yeah, yeah, y-yeah, y-yeah, y-yeah, y-yeah, y-yeah, eh-eh-eh) / all those voices are driving me, away from reality / drowning in dreams and scenes (the rabbit hole is deeper) / they're making me something else (no, oh-oh, oh) / please, don't follow me anymore, rabbit (yeah-eh-eh) / surreal became real / taste my blood, i'm sweet too / back to neverland (neverland) / i'm no good / talk whatever you want, i'm far away / reality distortion turns out to be art for me
⸻⠀⠀⠀⠀𝐂𝐀𝐔𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍.ᐟ watch the mv.
the mv directed by jeon do-yun builds the same aura of surrealism and psychedelia which disturbia creates in the lyrics. the narrative begins with a figure, alice, in the middle of the darkness with her image distorted and falling into an infinite void. at a certain point, the figure stops falling and appears inside a television, from which ishe slowly emerges after hitting the glass. walking through a seemingly abandoned mansion, the figure comes across several mirrors and notices herself wearing a mask which she can't take it off. the mask is white and has a terrifying, forcedly happy smile. however, when she touches one of the mirrors, the figure enters a parallel reality where two versions of herself meet: one totally dark and one full of light. when they touch, they begin to blend together with the shadows taking over her like a smoke. at the end, it's possible to see alice without the mask inside a mirror and not smiling. the camera moves away from her until the fade out arrives.
⸻⠀⠀⠀⠀𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐖.
critics have praised disturbia for its lyrical depth, with alice weaving korean, english and even latin into a tapestry of dissociation and self-destruction. lines in the track suggest a battle with inner demons and themes like escapism and fractured identity. the opinion is that she’s delivering a psychological self-portrait, blurring the lines between art and reality in a very unique way. still, some critics are uncertain how this era will shape up and expect more from this new raw version of the artist, who has been under this surrealism's bubble for many years.
⸻⠀⠀⠀⠀𝐅𝐀𝐍 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍.
@ bloodyalice i can't believe she made disturbia be about her mental health, i didn't understand much of it, but i thought it was brilliant. is that how cinephiles feel?
@ bunnyejia the part in latin means “you stole my light, i'm back, you're going to pay me back with interest” I'M GOING TO FUCKING THROW UP I'M NOT EVEN KIDDING!
@ galaaaaxy now… how did lux let alice release a song that clearly mentions themselves like that? didn't they translate it? something is up here………
@ jiahxlice she's that bitch to comeback and say that the fact she'd left her was something to talk about this is how you do it
@ galaxiebunny i've already watched the mv about ten times and every time i see different easter eggs or would they mean something? jesus i wish i was alice's neurons so i could decipher this fucking thing at once

[ ji-ah ] i never asked for this so you can calm down
[ eun-woo ] you acting like this doesn't help at all
[ ji-ah ] what do you want me to act like?
[ eun-woo ] idk but i'm really worried about you making this comeback... what if it makes your mental health worse?
[ ji-ah ] i'm on medication.
[ eun-woo ] and how do you feel?
[ ji-ah ] i was fine until you texted me.
[ eun-woo ] you're acting like i'm your enemy or something
[ ji-ah ] it's just i've had countless text messages with you over the years and none of them were real. it was just my mind playing tricks on me i guess... so far i don't know if it's real or not, but it's not like it matters. at the end of every conversation, you always disappear.

[ eun-woo ] i... don't even know what to say…
[ ji-ah ] great. this way we can just end this conversation. i'm fine and i'm going to make this comeback.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀𝑨𝑹𝑬 𝒀𝑶𝑼 𝑆𝐸𝐸𝐼𝑁𝐺 𝑻𝑯𝑰𝑺 .ᐣ
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀›⠀the following contains 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝒊𝒏𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏, please follow it with discretion.
born kim ji-ah ( 김지아 ) on september 13, 1994 in ansan, she is the youngest daughter of kim min-jun and kim hye-young. she grew up together with her older sister, kim ji-woo, in a middle-class family. within the family she is nicknamed jiji and her mother affectionately calls her jang. her birth chart, which she firmly believes in, consists of the sun in virgo, rising in scorpio, moon in aquarius and venus in libra. meanwhile, she has the mbti istj, which means she has a practical personality. it turns out all this information corroborates the fact ji-ah is an extremely loyal, precise, analytical and independent woman, at the same time as she is overly critical, strict, spiteful and cold. because her father teaches literature, she loves different literary worlds and learned english from the age of five under his influence. later, as a trainee at lux, she learned japanese; she has an absurd ability to learn new languages. with an elongated oval face and high cheekbones, ji-ah has a unique expression, even more so when paired with a foxy gaze and hazel eyes. at just 1,61cm tall, she has a shapely body due to her years of ballet in childhood and her teenage years, as well as her years as a trainee. they say she looks like seulgi, but she doesn't even know who that is.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀›⠀public information about alice's 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒓. please distribute carefully.
during her four years as a trainee in the management of lux entertainment, between 2010 and 2014, ji-ah ended up being given the stage name alice ( 앨리스 ), which she personally loved. her official debut came on april 2, 2014 with the release of the single ‘mirror mirror’. in may of the same year she released her first mini album, entitled ‘falling on wonderland’, featuring a concept deeply inspired by alice in wonderland. her fandom ended up being officially called bunnies because of this, however some fans also use the term landers, in reference to the name of the mini-album. she ended up choosing a mirror ( 🪞 ) as her representation along with a rabbit. lux entertainment set monster ( #46277b ) as her official color, which would carry through almost all of her eras from then on. her discography also includes the album ‘mirror’ from 2015, ‘daisies’ from 2017 and ‘made by blood’ in 2019, as well as two tours: damnation, the tour in 2015 and bloodline world tour in 2019. the media started calling her a troublemaker in 2017.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀›⠀a trivia about her 𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒍𝒚 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒓.
her first appearance was on the ‘lux superstars’ show alongside jun ( future rapper and member of the boy group black dog ) and sang-mi ( future member of the girl group mirage ), where they presented the day-to-day life of a trainee at the company.
in 2012, she made a special appearance in the mv ‘big star’ by the group galaxy, one of the most popular groups of the 2nd gen and lux's most profitable asset.
the earliest rumors involving alice were about a supposed beef between her and sunny ( galaxy's female member and soloist ) and the possibility of her dating eun-woo ( mechanika's member ).
the whole concept of alice was designed to be inspired by literary adventures with a hint of surrealism, which was quite different from what was practised by other companies at the time, which preferred to focus on female idols with ultra-feminine and romantic concepts. zhanlan mei li once remarked how alice was the fulfilment of a search for more creative and modern ideas for the company, breaking away from the bindings and ready-made formulas the industry was working with at the time. because of the huge success of galaxy, as well as the individual success of its members like king, tiger and sunny, and the growing interest in the heavier concept of soul mirror, the media gave alice's debut a vote of confidence.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀›⠀when the first articles and rumours of a possible alice's comeback began to emerge, netizens went wild on social media. truth be told, no one even believed she could possibly return. it had been five years away from the spotlight, where her only appearances were walking with her mother in some random place or a fan seeing her in mundane situations. even so, the debate raged on. alice was still a very good subject to be discussed. ❝ who cares if she comes back or not? she's always shown no consistency and even less persistence to be in the industry. for me, she'd be forgotten once and for all. ❞ was one of the comments made by those who wouldn't let the artist's troubled past be forgotten. however, this was not a unanimous opinion. they would never be unanimous about her... ❝ if she's really coming back, i hope it's because she wants to and not because of any contractual reasons with lux. everyone knows how this company ruined her… ❞ a fan commented. no one knows exactly if alice is coming back, but truth be told: she's still a polarising figure in the media. and everyone knows how polarisation sells . . .
but on a random night in may, alice's social accounts suffered a blackout. all her photos disappeared, her profile picture became just a black icon. it wouldn't have been a big deal if it hadn't been exactly five years after her last post there.
