On August 17, it was announced that Yezi had joined the rap survival show Unpretty Rapstar for its second season. She received acclaim throughout the series run for her rapping skills and determined attitude. Yezi became increasingly popular after her performance in the third episode after she saved herself from elimination by rapping a short rap entitled "미친 개 (Crazy Dog)".

2016: A Delicate Sense
In early 2016, LOEN Entertainment announced that FIESTAR would be making a comeback in early March with their second mini album that will be called "A Delicate Sense" and that the title track will be called "Mirror".
Controversies
The song "One More" was banned by MBC for containing "ambiguous" lyrics, which the network claimed contained allusions to a threesome. While the lyrics originally passed scrutiny from the three major broadcasting stations (KBS, MBC and SBS), backlash from netizens forced the networks to review the lyrics. Fiestar's representatives maintained that the lyrics did not allude to threesomes, but rather a comparison of a smart phone game to a monotonous relationship. However, Fiestar rerecorded the song, completely changing the lyrics to avoid further misunderstandings and continued promotions shortly thereafter.[29] The controversy spawned from the lyrics prompted MBC to crack down further on songs with ambiguous or easily misconstrued lyrical content.[30]
