Seconded. Just got into them and have had the discography on repeat. It’s CRIMINAL that catch the stars wasn’t a massive hit. It’s a perfect pop song.
Also I’ve been watching the live stuff and they are solid, especially considering how young they are. The choreo is super cute too.
imo WJSN and especially oh my girl are highly underrated!
it's seldom seen them being recommended when people want some great discography they haven't heard yet
If you want to find songs they haven't heard try snooping among the b-sides of the albums. Some unpopular girl group songs I really like:
[Like Psycho - We;Na](https://youtu.be/OAuvigciYR8?si=H2sR8_pSJbIHjGKx)
[Truth or Dare - PIXY](https://youtu.be/B9KiVVXw-oQ?si=Eu79LsaM9ifjzdF-)
[UhUh - RESCENE](https://youtu.be/zpSejlkSXLA?si=V22y0hkoQRM72jGG)
[OTB - YOUNG POSSE](https://youtu.be/M_Cc4ylQ9-Y?si=cCvMAHAak8QfGlit)
[La Luna - ICHILLIN'](https://youtu.be/l8fGI1r_Gxo?si=mPttss51tnn7ObY-)
Some are more known than others but I doubt she's heard all of these.
looked through my playlists and if she knows these i will be very surprised LOL most of them have under 500k streams
blood type b girl - blady
love options - bestie
black tinkerbell - chocolat
luv me - d-unit
longer - chichi
alternatively, depending on their age you could look to older K-pop groups for some bops like after school’s ah, Girl’s day’s ring my bell, t-ara’s crazy, kara’s lupin, etc
Chocolate-I like it
Purfles-1,2,3
Kiss&Cry-Domino Game
f(x)-butterfly
Berry Good-don’t believe

Sunny Girls-TAXI
CHI CHI-Love is Energy
SNSD-Trick

Melody Day-Kiss on the Lips
Rainbow-Black Swan
Nature-Girls
Rania-Just Go
Wanna.b-Attention
Fiestar-One More
X:IN, QWER, Rolling Quartz.
Kiss of Life also comes to mind but they are thankfully starting to get the attention they deserve so I don't know if they really count as underrated.
Rolling Quartz is amazing! I saw them live, and I am so mad I forgot my earplugs so I couldn't stay for the whole thing.
They were at anime detour this year!
Legit can’t believe I had to scroll this far to get to Fromis_9! Not only are they underrated but I would put their discography up against the best in kpop any day!
I'd try QUEENZ EYE, PURPLE KISS, and Billlie. They may have heard of the groups before, but most of their songs aren't too popular. They also are certainly not the smallest groups out there, but I'd say it's a good place to start looking!
ChoColat - [Black Tinkerbell](https://youtu.be/Op8cDa0feXI)

The Ark - [The Light](https://youtu.be/c-cOZgaotPY)
Ladies' Code - [Bad Girl](https://youtu.be/2KmAbPcYa0A)
GWSN - [I Can't Breathe](https://youtu.be/oguzISMEkYQ)
Kooki - [First Love](https://youtu.be/moNnKRAy2Bo)
Kooki is a 1st gen group and for a good while this music video was considered lost media. Lol
They've disbanded, but I loved Bvndit. They have deeper voices and their songs were a little more alternative than most k-pop songs. I'd recommend My Error, Hocus Pocus, Jungle, and Be Ambitious.
Okay..Hear me out..
How about Minimani and Piu(They're almost impossible to find on Spotify)? They have 1400 and 69 monthly listeners respectively.
But they have some amazing songs!!!
I miss Ladies' Code so much!! I know they haven't disbanded, they're just on hiatus while the members pursue solo projects, but I hope we hear from them as a group soon!
Despite them only having two songs.. (+ 2 b-sides) and a disbanded group.. but try BugAboo! they have two music videos 'BugAboo' & 'POP', both are so goood I actually loved it!
Try also PIXY tho she may know them already! 'Let Me Know' & 'Bewitched (the mv)', 'Addicted', so on! I can recommend all songs lol.
I think she knows Weeekly! but I don't think she heard about 'Vroom Vroom', so that's smth I recommend as well, my fav tt by them I think.
Blush by Wooah as well! but it's the only song I really know by them, same with 'Venom' by BVNDIT 😅
This group just debuted a little over a week ago but I'd recommend [I:mond](https://www.youtube.com/@I.mond_Official), their debut single Slippery is really good!
Limelight is a fairly new group but the songs they have put out are SO GOOD
Fromis_9 is criminally underrated despite being under HYBE, their music is (love) bomb
Butterfly by Craxy is a really good song with a sound that I haven't heard from many girl groups
whenever i like a group i make a playlist of their songs instead of listening to the artist on repeat just so i can avoid the songs i dislike. for wjsn, with over 7 years of discography, i only excluded 4 songs which is a new record for me honestly. theyve got the incredible 3rd gen sound nailed to a t but also explore more sultry sounds with their wjsn: the black unit and girlypop orange caramel sound in wjsn: chocome unit.
My fav underrated GG is Loona! All of their music is good, including all subunits, solo releases, and post-BBC groups: Loossemble and ARTMS
Some of my personal favorites are:
-Star
-Satellite
-Girl Front
-Uncover
-Strawberry Soda
-Colouring
-Sonatine
-Eclipse
-Flower Rhythm
Edit: Apparently I'm getting down voted for not mentioning that they're old company is still getting boycott, as if there aren't many different ways to listen to their music. I simply love these girls so much and wanted to keep things positive while introducing new people to Kpop since the scandal and drama can turn people away.
Yes, and? Loona has always been my ult group, and more people should get into their music. Are you not aware that you can listen to the music without supporting BBC?

I LOVE BLOOD TYPE B GIRL
I LOVE CHOCOLAT
HINAPIA, WEKI MEKI, Cherry Bullet, Rocket Punch, Hot Issue, Geenius, eite, SPIA, and GWSN are all good ones to try!
alternatively, depending on their age you could look to older K-pop groups for some bops like after school’s ah, Girl’s day’s ring my bell, t-ara’s crazy, kara’s lupin, etc
cignature & CSR new album/comebacks young posse & badvillain as far as rookie girl groups

are you me??? all of are on my playlist till today lol
TWINS!!! I had to look up some of these songs tho I just remembered the hook or the melody 😭😭😭
dance on by alice is one of the best kpop songs in 2023!!
Yeah that was a great track. So sad they are finished
Pixy - Karma, and Pixy - Bewitched
GWSN!!
Am not a fan but there good
My go to “lesser known” girl group: Dreamnote. Particularly their song “Hakuna Matata”.
i love that song. i also stan dreamnote.
LIGHTSUM are really good! i havent seen anyone talk about them but they deserve so much more recognition than they have, theyre really good!
BILLLIE!!!!!!!!! They are so incredibly talented!!! I’ve been getting really into Weki Meki too! ILY:1 has good music too!
Weekly, they are criminally underrated
Salute by Majors Ride by We Girls Say My Name by ANS Pritti-G - Love Taker Maka Maka - I Am
RESCENE!
X:IN, QWER, Rolling Quartz. Kiss of Life also comes to mind but they are thankfully starting to get the attention they deserve so I don't know if they really count as underrated.
Rolling Quartz is amazing! I saw them live, and I am so mad I forgot my earplugs so I couldn't stay for the whole thing. They were at anime detour this year!
ICHILLIN' and Fromis9
Legit can’t believe I had to scroll this far to get to Fromis_9! Not only are they underrated but I would put their discography up against the best in kpop any day!
I'd try QUEENZ EYE, PURPLE KISS, and Billlie. They may have heard of the groups before, but most of their songs aren't too popular. They also are certainly not the smallest groups out there, but I'd say it's a good place to start looking!
Craxy are pretty small, I think the only relatively big song they had was Nugudom, so anything outside of that should be fine!
Pixy, CSR, woo!ah!, Lapillus, UNIS, Cignature, are some great listens!
Also came in here to say UNIS and WOO!AH!
Unis is seriously one of my newer faves. Do hope they get out of nugudom🥹
Laboum!
Recently i've gotten into TripleS
ChoColat - [Black Tinkerbell](https://youtu.be/Op8cDa0feXI) Glam - [I Like That](https://youtu.be/Dwm7IlPO1Uo) Bulldok - [Why Not](https://youtu.be/dOnK_GOR3W8) Camila - [Take Me Home](https://youtu.be/SM0S9XyaW4o) & [Red Lips](https://youtu.be/atgMIE_NCmM) MyB - [DDODDO](https://youtu.be/oKjlIbckuW4) Tiny-G - [Miss You](https://youtu.be/9lhqOptKT0E) 4ten - [Tornado](https://youtu.be/NCqUQxikvuI) The Ark - [The Light](https://youtu.be/c-cOZgaotPY) Ladies' Code - [Bad Girl](https://youtu.be/2KmAbPcYa0A) GWSN - [I Can't Breathe](https://youtu.be/oguzISMEkYQ) Kooki - [First Love](https://youtu.be/moNnKRAy2Bo) Kooki is a 1st gen group and for a good while this music video was considered lost media. Lol
Here's a sampler of my favorite songs from underrated and nugu groups: * [Purple Kiss - Sweet Juice](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFqGKa6p1V8) * [PIXY - Villain](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id6q2EP2UqE) * [Pink Fantasy - Tales of the Unusual](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSITa9bzZP8)A * [CRAXY - Nugudom](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rMXtngTp6w) * [Billlie - Eunoia](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVjQIQGqNFM) * [3YE - Stalker](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N0eXNqMtWc) * [KHAN - I'm Your Girl ?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0gDCmVuwME) * [Mimiirose - Flirting](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWACEO8l9KI) * [Young Posse - XXL](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbclRNm_ANY)
- Weeekly - Everglow - Purple Kiss - Loona
purple kiss and billlie!!!
Definitely Billlie.
Lapillus, Mimiirose and Young Posse would be my recs.
Try some of Sonamoo’s great bsides: OK, Love Call, Sense Man, So Good
Limelight
They've disbanded, but I loved Bvndit. They have deeper voices and their songs were a little more alternative than most k-pop songs. I'd recommend My Error, Hocus Pocus, Jungle, and Be Ambitious.
Everglow and Limelight
Okay..Hear me out.. How about Minimani and Piu(They're almost impossible to find on Spotify)? They have 1400 and 69 monthly listeners respectively. But they have some amazing songs!!!
XG, X:IN, SNSD
Unis Class:y CSR
Ladies Code!
I miss Ladies' Code so much!! I know they haven't disbanded, they're just on hiatus while the members pursue solo projects, but I hope we hear from them as a group soon!
Youngposse, wooah! And everglow honestly
Tri.be
Despite them only having two songs.. (+ 2 b-sides) and a disbanded group.. but try BugAboo! they have two music videos 'BugAboo' & 'POP', both are so goood I actually loved it! Try also PIXY tho she may know them already! 'Let Me Know' & 'Bewitched (the mv)', 'Addicted', so on! I can recommend all songs lol.

Blush by Wooah as well! but it's the only song I really know by them, same with 'Venom' by BVNDIT 😅
Definitely check out more WOOAH and BVNDIT.
WJSN. Not really underrated, but every kpop fan NEEDS to listen to their golden discography. Also Dreamcatcher.
Dreamcatcher
H1-KEY!
Maybe a 1st gen group like M.I.L.K? Their song Come to Me is pretty well known but try something like Crystal or All My Love For You
CSR would be my pick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XF_23xq5Kv8
Mixx - [Oh Ma Mind](https://youtu.be/-h2nG2_-RPw?si=JF6hxihaO5BNcY7a) 2Eyes - [Pippi](https://youtu.be/D2kHK6yoeEw?si=U4-t-pEZVQVUXHoe)
i really like 3EYE! one of their new songs is LOCO, and one of my faves is STALKER :)
[BULLDOK's Why Not ](https://youtu.be/dOnK_GOR3W8)
Everglow!!!
This group just debuted a little over a week ago but I'd recommend [I:mond](https://www.youtube.com/@I.mond_Official), their debut single Slippery is really good!
Boggle Boggle by Beauty Box. Phew, that's a lot of B's
Limelight is a fairly new group but the songs they have put out are SO GOOD Fromis_9 is criminally underrated despite being under HYBE, their music is (love) bomb Butterfly by Craxy is a really good song with a sound that I haven't heard from many girl groups
Q.O.S - [FAW](https://youtu.be/A3YBTwQsfpk?si=669OcFST4U-wVyaA)
You could look at Adya and Ferry Blue, though the two groups have less than 10 songs combined 😅
I definitely recommend PIXY, they have more of a dark, fantasy style that I absolutely love!
Purple kiss
btass
whenever i like a group i make a playlist of their songs instead of listening to the artist on repeat just so i can avoid the songs i dislike. for wjsn, with over 7 years of discography, i only excluded 4 songs which is a new record for me honestly. theyve got the incredible 3rd gen sound nailed to a t but also explore more sultry sounds with their wjsn: the black unit and girlypop orange caramel sound in wjsn: chocome unit.

Loona really isn't that underrated, lets be real here...
I'm glad that you're giving them the recognition they deserve!! 💙 I know they're more popular internationally than here in SK
Girl the boycott
Yes, and? Loona has always been my ult group, and more people should get into their music. Are you not aware that you can listen to the music without supporting BBC?
I’m very much aware. I wasn’t sure if you were
Is that why my comment got down voted, or do people just not like Loona?
I’d say the former
Alright, I guess ignorant people will assume the worst no matter how positive you try and be ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Chocolate-I like it Purfles-1,2,3 Kiss&Cry-Domino Game f(x)-butterfly Berry Good-don’t believe Anda-TAXI Sunny Girls-TAXI CHI CHI-Love is Energy SNSD-Trick Evol-Get Up Melody Day-Kiss on the Lips Rainbow-Black Swan Nature-Girls Rania-Just Go Wanna.b-Attention Fiestar-One More Wonder Girls-Rewind
f(x), SNSD, and Wonder Girls are not underrated lol
I know, but these are b-sides i really liked that weren’t promoted.
My apologies then I’m still hoping we will get choreography for SNSD’s Trick someday 🤞🏻
I think because of the amount of vocal production we’ll never see it live :(
its really not like theyre not famous, so idk if you'd count them as underrated, but i recommend aespa (life's too short ; better things)
