In February, K-Pop soloist AleXa released her edgy single “sick.” Yet, she expressed her frustrations during a live broadcast after a viewer asked if she was no longer a K-Pop idol.
I see the comments. Am I not an idol anymore? I am. I promise I am.

AleXa said she is a K-Pop idol, but this misconception stems from her lack of promotions. She explained that she had not been properly promoting for two years and didn’t understand why.
I just, I haven’t promoted in like two years. I don’t know why. I can’t tell you why. I don’t know. But I’m hoping that this year I promote. If not this year, then next year, so we’ll see. But right now, we’re working on an English album release, and the first single is coming out Friday, so I hope that though the aspect of K-Pop is not present that you still support me and my artistry moving forward with this American album. Yeah, ’cause it’s kind of all I got right now…

A couple of weeks ago, AleXa made her comeback with another angsty single, “i’m okay.”
just want to say thank you so much for waiting so patiently for the song to drop 🥹 i know y’all had a taste of it six months back at the jingle ball, but the day is finally here!!! this song means a lot to me, and i hope it becomes a meaningful song for y’all as well stay strong and never be afraid to seek help

Still, AleXa is disappointed about her career’s direction, as she believed she would be promoting as a K-Pop idol. At this time, her recent releases are in English, and she is given no promotion opportunities. She shared a cryptic message to fans via X (formerly Twitter) on June 10, saying, “i miss doing kpop lmao.”
i miss doing kpop lmao

Fans agreed. Many miss her K-Pop songs and seeing her promote as an idol.
