[edit | edit source]

On March 5, 2025, she announced that she is "stepping forward into [her] new artist journey", departing from her former label and creating new social media accounts ( Former label revoked AleXa's access to old social media accounts.) In leaving her label, AleXa stated that she wanted to rebrand herself and no longer go by the monicker "AleXa", and instead go by her Korean name, 김세리. As of current day, to prevent confusion, she has stated that she is fine with being addressed as either "AleXa" or "세리(Se-ri)", as many fans were confused by the rebrand attempt.[27][28][29]
