Did RaNia's Alexandra Reid lie about her age?

It's an understatement to say thatRaNia's new member,Alexandra Reidhas been in the spotlight ever since she was announced to have joined the K-pop girl group.


And once you're in the spotlight, netizens will of course, dig up your past. RaNia's company,DR Music, had previously reported that Alex is 21 years old in Korean age (age 19 or 20 in international age) and is a 1995-er. 


But netizens have dug up back to 2004 when Alex was a cast member in the 3rd season of the teen survival show 'Endurance 3: Hawaii'. This season aired from 2004-2005, and in the clip above, Alex introduces herself as 15 years old at the 1:17 mark.


Although if you check the Wikipedia pagefor the 'Endurance' reality show, it shows contestant Alex Reid as 13 years old at the time. 


Either way, if she was 13 or 15 in 2004, that means she would be 24 or 26 currently, and not 21 like her company stated.


But then again, what netizens are more annoyed about is how unprofessional DR Music seems. They say Alex joining RaNia was not done properly, with her not being in the original MV or most of the choreography, with the visa issues, etc. 


Netizens also point out how in the past, a Thai member named Joy joined RaNia and then suddenly disappeared.
