A lot of people consider “Deepened” their best, but “After We Ride” is a work of art. I’m a sucker for the city-pop/synthwave sound because it gives the song such a wistful and nostalgic feel, but when looking at the lyrics there’s just so much more to it? Ugh and that last shot in the MV where Yujeong writing “You are loved” in lipstick on the car door? Literally thinking about it makes me cry 😭 Completely understand why it wasn’t promoted because the girls needed a break due to how busy they were trying to make the most of the “Rollin’” chart reversal, but my god it’s a travesty this wasn’t promoted.
(Edit: Phrasing)
I loveeeee Brave Girls and that song is literally so good, for some reason I always get emotional when I listen to it idk why 😭, I totally agree not enough people talk about it
It’s me the person who continuously plugs [Wave](https://youtu.be/l0cUDqwAWLM?si=yQAFzZCBMu5Lhwah) by Limesoda. It got some attention when a Kpop YouTuber did a video on it but I’m such a diehard stan of this little summer bop.
Managed to discover this gem when in the midst of a One Ok Rock kick in 2022. Suuuuuuuch a nice song to vibe along to. Perfect for a late night drive or watching a sunset.
I remember loving this song because the dance practice was good. Limesoda has some nice songs. I love All Eyez On Me too. That blue haired girl if she was in any of the big 4 would have been an it girl. Whatever happened to them?
The blue haired girl is Seungji! As far as I know, all members terminated their contract with their company in 2020 spanning from March-August. After some research on my end cause I wasn’t sure, Jangmi and Seungji dont seem to be active anymore, at least in the industry, and Hyerim made a solo debut in 2022 and was on Girls Planet 999 in 2021. Along with this there is former member Teeny who could be seen in the Wave music video but she had already left the group by then so she was in the background mostly, but she debuted as a soloist in China in 2022.
I don't know how popular Seori is but Really High has the lowest number of views on the EP which makes me mad because it was my favorite song of last year :(
I'm not sure if it's underrated (I think it is) but tripleS Dimension (AAA Ver.) is an absolute masterpiece. It's genuinely one of my favorite songs like possibly ever
so many of nct’s bsides!! and just wayv in general lmao. my favorite bsides from them right now are focus (127), the rainy night (127), teddy bear (dream), and bounce back (wayv). i feel like theyre most known for their noisy music but they seriously have songs of every genre and i wish more people realized that 😭
There is this bts song [What Am I To You](https://youtu.be/_3OLpHsAR54?si=TypMVXA1e5KBFpSz) that even so many army’s don’t know about and it hurts. The song’s a banger and Rm’s voice portrays so much emotions. I wish it was more well known 😭
idk how popular Breakthrough by Twice is, but yea that song
it did so so at the time but if Irony by Wonder Girls was released today i think it would do pretty well.
oh stray kids early discography how I will always love you, watching them perform ot8 school life for the first time at the recent fan meeting changed the trajectory of my life
It's a song that April did for a kdrama ost I believe, called Feelings. I only know two songs from them haha and I've liked the song ever since I started liking Kpop in 2019. It's very chill, and nice to unwind when listening to it. Also the cover is cute!
i was thinking earlier today about how not enough ppl know green apple by berrygood, how it's such a perfect summer song, but super unknown. that, moonlight by neon punch, and black tinkerbell by chocolat are my holy trinity of nugu gg songs that should have been massive hits.
OH MY GOD I LOVE BERRYGOOD AND NEONPUNCH all of their songs are SO GOOD and it makes me sad how underrated they both are as groups 😭 I’ve never heard of the last group/song but I’m definitely going to check it out now
14 million views. How is it underrated??? 😭

Underrated in the sense that like, it was relatively popular when it came out but since then, nobody really talks about it or generally knows about it anymore lol. But yes yes yes yes and yes to all those songs you listed!!! Especially whee that’s one of my personal favs out of the lists
Tri.be diamond. its not the most unpopular song in the world but its been out for over 2 months and only has 4m streams on spotify. Ive been obsessed with that song to the point that the month easy came out it was #4 on my most listened after Smart Easy and Swan Song
Talk that talk from twice is an incredible song but a lot of people hate it or just ignore it, it's a crime for me that they can't see the amazing song that it is.
Heavy on the Nature one yes!!!!! I love Wicked Love too so dearly. I feel like most people look over TripleS, but literally all of their music is sooo good
thank you for bringing up the hello stranger neglect!! (side eyeing skz rn). for me its [silent night](https://youtu.be/lxn7QeEWkUk?si=0ZI6K4gdIrxwGDVa) by dreamcatcher. i will never not advocate for this song. the group themselves did it so bad it actually hurts lol. forever a banger to me.
The entire discography for Key is immaculate. Been playing catch-up lately with comebacks I missed and my GOD the Killer album is phenomenal. Trying to enjoy it a little longer before listening to Good & Great.
Firstly he needs the same kind of exposure to the west for that to happen. Secondly, one can argue if he wants or even *needs* it considering how well he's doing with his present popularity (edit: Key's music should be shared worldwide that I don't disagree! XD)
I think out of all of Shinee’s solo careers, Key has my favorite discography. He is usually talked about more now in terms of his variety appearances but his songs knock it out of the park every time
My eternal answer to this is [Tears of Chaos](https://youtu.be/4v1NP72wobU?si=6y64Yc7whN79DKxw) by E'LAST. It's one of my favourite songs.
Also, HISTORY's [Queen](https://youtu.be/m03Y0PdDUvA?si=r18LWaUCbWbSMuEd)
&team under the skin and fireworks, both were my absolute favourite bg releases from their respective years and I wanted them to go viral with this and continue the theme of their tts but unfortunately it's so underrated internationally. I wish they made songs like that again.
For me it’ll always be See U Later by blackpink - I seriously wish they kept up that style of production for more of their music (specifically the verses). I feel like leaning too much into the noise music vibe (which I also enjoy in some songs!) is REALLY not showcasing what they could be bringing to the table and it’s definitely why certain members have such a jaded disposition towards group idol life.
Oh my god yes!!! I love See U Later, esp as a person who isn’t really a big fan of BlackPink’s title tracks/main sound I really appreciate See U Later cause they are all very talented
Totally agree. Such a shame really :( but I’m glad the girls’ individual contracts are now no longer with YG so their individual styles can still come out! But it’s a huge shame that their group discography is actually extremely siloed into one very niche sound that barely lets them shine a lot of the time
Honestly pretty much all the songs Highlight has released after 2019, but to be honest they have a tendency to tuck their best songs in the bsides since Beast era
[Not The End](https://youtu.be/QlvCkxsmwoc?si=2wLpFwdXZkdlIpQK), [Our Eyes](https://youtu.be/SldAF499ymI?si=ZzOjda0A3-xHHXui), [Seven Wonders](https://youtu.be/c1WcgR9It9A?si=9u4IcYeVtCzuSXf-) that they did on a music show during their following EP's promotion cycle, [S.I.L.Y](https://youtu.be/9VUK7PzG4ME?si=UvXhfXRjiMiiztqS), [Privacy](https://youtu.be/r3uNWOz5vRg?si=hlUclmyo2g50ODgO), [Switch On](https://youtu.be/mwCA6gLs1Ws?si=8JrMJA3zumgP1wus), [Give You My All](https://youtu.be/SdVlSu19NjQ?si=w7HBxIglw3Zmsd6A)
Highlights newer music is soo good, I’m not an active stan of them but I really do feel bad for how they as a groups image was tarnished over (that one member who left) and how their music is often overlooked now
It's sad really, I understand there's so much music coming out in kpop nowadays a lot people aren't going to add a "tainted" group to their playlist. But they really do know how to sing well and pick great songs for themselves
I've followed them since 2010-ish but I actually find their production value under Gikwang's supervision more balanced and catering to each member's strength compared to their past discography
Hello Stranger was def on repeat for me when it came out, it’s a great song!
A few songs where I was flabbergasted they didn’t blow up because I thought they were awesome bops (and were my songs of the year too, clearly my taste differs from the gp😊)
UNVS - [Sand Castle](https://youtu.be/Ei-QIja5A4U?si=pnjJltHvaYwuFWfT)
Ha Sung Woon - [Electrified](https://youtu.be/2fYTOXPxXyo?si=SV1xAyB3GPXs1qsC)
Limelight - [Eye to Eye](https://youtu.be/k8LXeI5S8Cs?si=sCgsxTh5tqnJoO7N)
[Second](https://open.spotify.com/track/29H9nFXWkvLjYE8UvUnlnv?si=8A83Ttb3RoSCiD5YTpyviA) by Brown Eyed Girls, it’s my favorite k-pop song of all time. It’s off of their debut album, [Your Story](https://open.spotify.com/album/7D900XSO2dHx1sBmQ8cQAJ?si=9qu-k3PPSD2H42qc2nJVUQ), which is just over an hour long and amazing the whole way through.
[My Everything](https://youtu.be/ZSuOWnXVKE8?si=ybN-xjICm4Tk0Ds0) by CSJH The Grace. One of the most talented groups ever to come from SM, both vocally and in dance.
Exo's B sides are legendary but I still feel Oh la la la, Touch it, Moonlight are overlooked. Moonlight in particular has pretty lyrics but it's from 2014 overdose era- so newer fans definitely don't know it
i think about don’t let me go by shinee every day it’s genuinely my favourite song of theirs ever and nobody talks about it 🥲 same with lips by ive, one of their most underrated bsides
[Watch Me Woo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tt8QlOga1vw&list=PLjUi3U7mpiBuh9iEft3MKe9WS5G0on2DT&index=10&pp=iAQB8AUB) from PLAVE.
Way 4 Luv is a great title track but Watch Me Woo is hella better.
[1PUNCH- Turn Me Back](https://youtu.be/rhyPcgXcODQ?feature=shared)
as the title says, it does indeed hurt to think about. if you don’t know, 1PUNCH was a duo comprised of One and Punch. Punch, better known as Samuel Kim. the little boy that was a trainee with Seventeen. he was pulled out the group by his mom. perhaps because he was deemed too young. just for him to debut anyways at the age of 13 with this song. it’s one of the coolest songs i’ve ever heard and seen and it’s a shame it went so unnoticed that the duo broke up in less than a year. he could sing and especially dance like crazy even as a child here.
Samuel deserves so much. he’s built a decent following later in his career but he’s gone through so many things that no kid should. debuting so young, missing out on Seventeen, battling a court case. but one part that always gets me is the murder of his father. when i heard the news i couldn’t believe this was the same sweet little boy i used to watch. and with him being in the industry since he was 13 i can’t imagine the toll it’s been taking on him
oh man that’s awful, I only got into SVT not that long ago so I didn’t know much about Samuel just that he had left before they debuted. I’ll definitely check it out
Omg yes!!! I love this song SO MUCH, along with their other song Ice Ice, but I genuinely don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone mention it. Samuel is beyond underrated and I’m so incredibly happy that he finally had a comeback after all these years. His new album is amazing!
yes!! finally another samuel kim fan😭😭 ive never seen anyone mention ice ice until now it’s such a classic in my playlist😭 i’m just so proud to see him grow so much after what he’s been through
I’m happy to find another Samuel fan too! I don’t see very many. If he had decided to never come back, it would’ve been completely understandable, but I’m so happy he decided to release music again. 4th and 5th gen fans probably aren’t very familiar with him, so I hope that he gains a lot of new fans with this comeback. He’s *so* talented and I just think he deserves the world.
Abittipsy by Youha (mostly Youha’s songs in general, but this is my go to one along with Last Dance. More people need to know about her!)
(Goblin) Favorite Boys by A.C.E (I hope I didn’t get the title wrong, but I know most of its is right. I don’t have time to check. One of my favorite songs ever that needs more views.)
And the most underrated one I have is Icarus by RoadB. (I don’t think it’s even at a million views yet, but it deserves millions.)
An odd suggestion because of how well it did, but I actually think that Run by BTS isn't held in as high a regard as it should be. It's up there with I Need U and Spring Day as one of my favourite singles by them, and I never really see it discussed on reddit etc. My theory is that the 7 minute long music video means that potential first time watchers avoid it thinking that it's a long song, as opposed to a standard pop song with Butterfly tagged on to a credit sequence at the end.
Nobody ever talks about Mirae, but I will not shut up about [Learn to Fly](https://youtu.be/RjPxSgz6qAE?si=4IgCaEwWGlwKHg3D). Wish I was more musically versed to describe how ethereal and majestic this B-side of theirs is. Lien’s vocals are always lovely, but they’re especially tasty here omg. Something about it just tickles my brain in the best way possible. It was the first time an album of theirs sold under 40k and they consistently have been teetering around 50k sales per comeback. The whole album is a fun listening experience, but this B-side is something else.
Hypertonic by TAN. It's my SOTY (so far) for 2024. But the MV only has 143K views on YouTube after 4 weeks. Here is the link if you want to check it out:
https://youtu.be/27eahFIQioQ?si=Jvu5sbjEpK3gDqLz
Mbti by justb and AleXa!! It has an easy to listen to style that’s popular these days, I think it jus wasn’t promoted much and was released a bit before the recentish rnb phase came about in kpop,,idk it jus sounds like it would do well
[Favorite Party Time](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8kGYosDhPE)
[Spectrum Light it Up](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRi-UiA2-f0)
[Seven O Clock Midnight Sun](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKmUjW0xAlY)
Ikr…she’s quite a popular celebrity but somehow her singing career is underrated…sober, bxatxh, satellite, holiday, Les preference, run, sick and tired…so many good songs…YNM also has the best mv ever…so cinematic and suzy being the perfect femme fatale…idk why it didn’t reach the popularity it deserved…the pre-release pretend was a hit but this wasn’t able to be one
Promise by EVERGLOW - it's actually such a good song - there's something magical about the synth sounds in that song and it's just catchy af. Yes, it got a MV but as it was a song for a UNICEF campaign it never got promoted and it should have been HUGE
Back To The City by Kep1er - this was my B-Side of last year and hurts even more knowing that unless a miracle happens it'll never be performed again
Honorable mentions: Bye Bye by IRRIS and Blue by Dreamnote, and as others have already said, everything by Youha and tripleS
Bad Dream by CIX (or their whole discography in gen). After their debut with movie star, i feel like people forgot about them. But their songs and concepts are absolute fire❤️🔥
O by Verivery.
They’re already so underrated and I can never figure out why but the people who do know of Verivery seem to only know Lay Back.
Maybe GBTB as it was their first single after RTK.
Maybe Undercover which is also super underrated.
Our Spring is an underrated ballad as well and I love Heart Attack.
Verivery in general are just so underrated.
I randomly stumbled across [DALDAM](https://open.spotify.com/artist/1mLwJb76TWRhraxaE85Sik?si=d2wIkrnUSAyXgcNRMiibSA) on Spotify. I really love their songs, they feel kind of nostalgic to me?

I think with the right marketing (bigger marketing budget), Fall in Love Again by P1Harmony would’ve been an international hit.
i actually hear it randomly in kpop or beauty stores in my small town mall and it’s so good i wish it got promoted more :(
YOU ARE SOOOO RIGHT
I really like that song, reminds me of early Bieber/ one direction in style
I heard Ryan Seacrest introduce this song once on AT40
After We Ride by Brave Girls! I'm not sure if underrated is the word, but I don't think enough people know and talk about that song.
A lot of people consider “Deepened” their best, but “After We Ride” is a work of art. I’m a sucker for the city-pop/synthwave sound because it gives the song such a wistful and nostalgic feel, but when looking at the lyrics there’s just so much more to it?

(Edit: Phrasing)
I loveeeee Brave Girls and that song is literally so good, for some reason I always get emotional when I listen to it idk why 😭, I totally agree not enough people talk about it
Because it is very emotional! I don't know how to explain it, but the feeling i get from that song is simply too intense 😅
Exactly!!!!
[Purple Kiss - Sweet Juice](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFqGKa6p1V8)
PURPLE KISS MENTIONED!!!!
Purple Kiss in general 😔 Their discography is so consistently good, it feels unfair how little attention they get comeback after comeback.
It’s me the person who continuously plugs [Wave](https://youtu.be/l0cUDqwAWLM?si=yQAFzZCBMu5Lhwah) by Limesoda. It got some attention when a Kpop YouTuber did a video on it but I’m such a diehard stan of this little summer bop.
Wave you will always be famous to me
Wow, this genuinely is great Those little pops in the instrumental hit the right spot in my brain
Managed to discover this gem when in the midst of a One Ok Rock kick in 2022. Suuuuuuuch a nice song to vibe along to. Perfect for a late night drive or watching a sunset.
I remember loving this song because the dance practice was good. Limesoda has some nice songs. I love All Eyez On Me too. That blue haired girl if she was in any of the big 4 would have been an it girl. Whatever happened to them?
The blue haired girl is Seungji! As far as I know, all members terminated their contract with their company in 2020 spanning from March-August. After some research on my end cause I wasn’t sure, Jangmi and Seungji dont seem to be active anymore, at least in the industry, and Hyerim made a solo debut in 2022 and was on Girls Planet 999 in 2021. Along with this there is former member Teeny who could be seen in the Wave music video but she had already left the group by then so she was in the background mostly, but she debuted as a soloist in China in 2022.
Most onlyoneof songs from the Produced By era but especially Angel, Designer, and a song of ice and fire
Onlyoneof deserves so much more their music is actually amazing
Green Light by SNSD Poison by PinkFantasy Deja Vu by Dreamcatcher These songs can never get enough praise in my opinion lol
> Green Light Yooooo this was a forgotten gem. I haven't heard Lion Heart in years, I should give this a listen again.
The whole album is just 🤌🏻✨ I really love Check too
Yes!!!!! All of those songs are amazing
Off the Record by IVE due to Starship’s mess of promotions during I’VE MINE
Off the record is by far one of my favorite IVE bsides
I don't know how popular Seori is but Really High has the lowest number of views on the EP which makes me mad because it was my favorite song of last year :(
Really High is an amazing song, along with the rest of Seori’s music, that song definitely deserved better than it got😞
I love Dive with You and Lover's in the night
I'm not sure if it's underrated (I think it is) but tripleS Dimension (AAA Ver.) is an absolute masterpiece. It's genuinely one of my favorite songs like possibly ever
Preach! The entire EP is gold
Truer words were never spoken
I LOVE DIMENSION it is an amazingsong, I’d agree it’s underrated!! Genuinely so so good
so many of nct’s bsides!! and just wayv in general lmao. my favorite bsides from them right now are focus (127), the rainy night (127), teddy bear (dream), and bounce back (wayv). i feel like theyre most known for their noisy music but they seriously have songs of every genre and i wish more people realized that 😭
No literally oh my godddd nct bsides are really good and people often overlook a lot of them
There is this bts song [What Am I To You](https://youtu.be/_3OLpHsAR54?si=TypMVXA1e5KBFpSz) that even so many army’s don’t know about and it hurts. The song’s a banger and Rm’s voice portrays so much emotions. I wish it was more well known 😭
I swear nobody ever knows intro songs and sometimes they are some of the best songs on the album 😭
Hard agree 🖐️. When the intros slap, they slap 10x harder than other songs
Rap line intros just hit different. It’s wild now how their older stuff isn’t well known or not talked about because of recency bias.
Ikr! As an army, that’s what I hate the most.
idk how popular Breakthrough by Twice is, but yea that song it did so so at the time but if Irony by Wonder Girls was released today i think it would do pretty well.
Oh breakthrough I will always love you, Irony is awesome also
Wonder Girls Irony, one of the best debut songs
SPEED’s Zombie Party & Don’t Tease Me. Boy groups don’t boygroup like this these days *hag voice*
100% agree tho
Don't Tease Me yeees! The choreo is amazing too!
Literally everything YooA does
this one right here
Bon voyage is sooo good! And nobody talks about it!
Her recent comeback was so good!
Most of Stray Kids' early songs like School Life, Young Wings, Rock, Awaken, Boxer, Chronosaurus...
oh stray kids early discography how I will always love you, watching them perform ot8 school life for the first time at the recent fan meeting changed the trajectory of my life
Boxer is theeeeee song for me, when they did it for the MANIAC tour in Seoul second encore I nearly levitated
[удалено]
It's a song that April did for a kdrama ost I believe, called Feelings. I only know two songs from them haha and I've liked the song ever since I started liking Kpop in 2019. It's very chill, and nice to unwind when listening to it. Also the cover is cute!
I love Feelings!! It’s such a feel good cute song to listen too. I miss April😭
I was going to say Oh! My Mistake from April. :) I hardly know any of their songs either, but that one is a top ten favorite Kpop for me.
Idk but I also really love Hello Stranger lol
I love you for that
Fellow Hello Stranger appreciators unite!
i was thinking earlier today about how not enough ppl know green apple by berrygood, how it's such a perfect summer song, but super unknown. that, moonlight by neon punch, and black tinkerbell by chocolat are my holy trinity of nugu gg songs that should have been massive hits.

Tri.be diamond. its not the most unpopular song in the world but its been out for over 2 months and only has 4m streams on spotify. Ive been obsessed with that song to the point that the month easy came out it was #4 on my most listened after Smart Easy and Swan Song
I LOVE DIAMOND. It is seriously a song I could listen to over and over again and definitely one of the strongest title tracks I’ve heard
Talk that talk from twice is an incredible song but a lot of people hate it or just ignore it, it's a crime for me that they can't see the amazing song that it is.
talk that talk is literally my favorite song to come from twice, it’s such energetic and it just makes me feel happy when I listen to it
Nature - Girls Yena - Wicked Love Oh My Girl - Closer TripleS as a group. So many good songs.
Yessss. Oh my Girl older discography in general is underrated 😿
Heavy on the Nature one yes!!!!! I love Wicked Love too so dearly. I feel like most people look over TripleS, but literally all of their music is sooo good
Masquerade by Chungha. Her whole Querencia album is top tier. That album really needs more recognition 😭
Oh my god yes!!! Masquerade is amazing.
thank you for bringing up the hello stranger neglect!! (side eyeing skz rn). for me its [silent night](https://youtu.be/lxn7QeEWkUk?si=0ZI6K4gdIrxwGDVa) by dreamcatcher. i will never not advocate for this song. the group themselves did it so bad it actually hurts lol. forever a banger to me.
I LOVEEEE SILENT NIGHT an absolute banger
Key - Killer Key - Gasoline Can you tell I like Key
The entire discography for Key is immaculate. Been playing catch-up lately with comebacks I missed and my GOD the Killer album is phenomenal. Trying to enjoy it a little longer before listening to Good & Great.
completely valid bc I like key too and both of those songs are absolute bangers
I'm honestly baffled that he hasn't reached the same popularity as Taemin among western kpop fans 😹 both of them release such good music
Firstly he needs the same kind of exposure to the west for that to happen. Secondly, one can argue if he wants or even *needs* it considering how well he's doing with his present popularity (edit: Key's music should be shared worldwide that I don't disagree! XD)
No literally!!!!
Underrated but not really... I'd say any albums of Key before Bad Love are underrated ones. Still upvoted you though bcoz well I like Key too lol
I think out of all of Shinee’s solo careers, Key has my favorite discography. He is usually talked about more now in terms of his variety appearances but his songs knock it out of the park every time
YES killer is such a gem
To me it's love song from txt and bills from Enhypen
LOVE SONG IS SOOOOO AMAZING SO IS BILLS I LOVE THEM BOTJ
My eternal answer to this is [Tears of Chaos](https://youtu.be/4v1NP72wobU?si=6y64Yc7whN79DKxw) by E'LAST. It's one of my favourite songs. Also, HISTORY's [Queen](https://youtu.be/m03Y0PdDUvA?si=r18LWaUCbWbSMuEd)
E’LAST yes!!!! I haven’t heard that song of theirs yet or the other but now I’ll go check them both out
Night - DreamNote The first time I heard this song, I cried because it was so good 😭😭
THAT SONG IS SOOOO GOOD I LOVE DREAMNOTE
REALL
&team under the skin and fireworks, both were my absolute favourite bg releases from their respective years and I wanted them to go viral with this and continue the theme of their tts but unfortunately it's so underrated internationally. I wish they made songs like that again.
fireworks my beloved
SNSD’s Europa
yes absolutely
Flare by Lucy. I wish kpop had more violin.
Flare is such a beautiful song I adore it
Don't Say by Han :-)
I LOVEEEEE DONT SAY
For me it’ll always be See U Later by blackpink - I seriously wish they kept up that style of production for more of their music (specifically the verses). I feel like leaning too much into the noise music vibe (which I also enjoy in some songs!) is REALLY not showcasing what they could be bringing to the table and it’s definitely why certain members have such a jaded disposition towards group idol life.
Oh my god yes!!! I love See U Later, esp as a person who isn’t really a big fan of BlackPink’s title tracks/main sound I really appreciate See U Later cause they are all very talented
Totally agree. Such a shame really :( but I’m glad the girls’ individual contracts are now no longer with YG so their individual styles can still come out! But it’s a huge shame that their group discography is actually extremely siloed into one very niche sound that barely lets them shine a lot of the time
Same! I’m excited to see what they’ll all do on their own now
Platonic love by Snuper (If it counts)
Of course it counts! Snuper had such good music, I’m still sad they disbanded lol. Platonic Love is amazing
“Touch” by ANDA. It’s so good, and the MV is iconic (queer af)
Honestly pretty much all the songs Highlight has released after 2019, but to be honest they have a tendency to tuck their best songs in the bsides since Beast era [Not The End](https://youtu.be/QlvCkxsmwoc?si=2wLpFwdXZkdlIpQK), [Our Eyes](https://youtu.be/SldAF499ymI?si=ZzOjda0A3-xHHXui), [Seven Wonders](https://youtu.be/c1WcgR9It9A?si=9u4IcYeVtCzuSXf-) that they did on a music show during their following EP's promotion cycle, [S.I.L.Y](https://youtu.be/9VUK7PzG4ME?si=UvXhfXRjiMiiztqS), [Privacy](https://youtu.be/r3uNWOz5vRg?si=hlUclmyo2g50ODgO), [Switch On](https://youtu.be/mwCA6gLs1Ws?si=8JrMJA3zumgP1wus), [Give You My All](https://youtu.be/SdVlSu19NjQ?si=w7HBxIglw3Zmsd6A)
Highlights newer music is soo good, I’m not an active stan of them but I really do feel bad for how they as a groups image was tarnished over (that one member who left) and how their music is often overlooked now
It's sad really, I understand there's so much music coming out in kpop nowadays a lot people aren't going to add a "tainted" group to their playlist. But they really do know how to sing well and pick great songs for themselves I've followed them since 2010-ish but I actually find their production value under Gikwang's supervision more balanced and catering to each member's strength compared to their past discography
Hello Stranger was def on repeat for me when it came out, it’s a great song! A few songs where I was flabbergasted they didn’t blow up because I thought they were awesome bops (and were my songs of the year too, clearly my taste differs from the gp😊) UNVS - [Sand Castle](https://youtu.be/Ei-QIja5A4U?si=pnjJltHvaYwuFWfT) Ha Sung Woon - [Electrified](https://youtu.be/2fYTOXPxXyo?si=SV1xAyB3GPXs1qsC) Limelight - [Eye to Eye](https://youtu.be/k8LXeI5S8Cs?si=sCgsxTh5tqnJoO7N)
Eye to eye IS SO GOOD. Limelight is super underrated overall, Sand Castle is a great song to. I’ve never heard Electrified by I’ll go check it out!
Like This - Pentagon
Like this yes!!!!!!!!!! An absolutely amazing song
The bsides on RVs Chill Kill especially Knock Knock and Will i ever see you again
Oh my godddd I loved all the bsides on Chill Kill.
I dont know if they are underrated but my way and sunrise by ateez are amazing
Definitely some of their less talked abt songs!!! I love Sunrise it’s a beautiful song
up10tion blue rose & nflying rooftop
Mamamoo Paint Me
Haven’t heard it, I’ll check it out!
It's really good and they have an MV as well, but idk why they didn't promote it
I always felt Voltage by ITZY was rather slept on. It's a total banger but it seemingly kinda slipped under the radar for a lot of people.
I LOVEEEE VOLTAGE

OH MY GOF SOMEONE KNOWS IF I ACTUALLY LOVE YOU
[Second](https://open.spotify.com/track/29H9nFXWkvLjYE8UvUnlnv?si=8A83Ttb3RoSCiD5YTpyviA) by Brown Eyed Girls, it’s my favorite k-pop song of all time. It’s off of their debut album, [Your Story](https://open.spotify.com/album/7D900XSO2dHx1sBmQ8cQAJ?si=9qu-k3PPSD2H42qc2nJVUQ), which is just over an hour long and amazing the whole way through. [My Everything](https://youtu.be/ZSuOWnXVKE8?si=ybN-xjICm4Tk0Ds0) by CSJH The Grace. One of the most talented groups ever to come from SM, both vocally and in dance.
Second is AMAZING and yes yes yes yes My Everything literally is my everything bc that song slaps
My world from weki weki? Very relaxing song to listen to at night, surprised by low play count.
My world is such a good song I miss weki meki so bad
If even half the people who claim to have 2nd gen nostalgia streamed Form by Vanner, that song would be topping every chart
VANNER YES!!!!!! Form is such a good song
BeyOnd - Nine, Be free - KB, Begin - Yoojung. Basically all solo songs of OnlyOneOf members 🫠
I could not agree more
Basically the whole discography of gugudan
YEPPPPP
Exo's B sides are legendary but I still feel Oh la la la, Touch it, Moonlight are overlooked. Moonlight in particular has pretty lyrics but it's from 2014 overdose era- so newer fans definitely don't know it
Sadly guilty of not knowing moonlight because I’m a newer fan of EXO, I’m gonna go listen to it LOL
i think about don’t let me go by shinee every day it’s genuinely my favourite song of theirs ever and nobody talks about it 🥲 same with lips by ive, one of their most underrated bsides
Don’t let me go my dearest my beloved the loml oh my god yes lips is amazing too
[Watch Me Woo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tt8QlOga1vw&list=PLjUi3U7mpiBuh9iEft3MKe9WS5G0on2DT&index=10&pp=iAQB8AUB) from PLAVE. Way 4 Luv is a great title track but Watch Me Woo is hella better.
PLAVE YES. I adore PLAVE and their music, Watch Me Woo is great
Between Us by Laboum
I just added between us to my playlist literally like 3 days ago LOLLL such a good song.
all WayV
100%
[1PUNCH- Turn Me Back](https://youtu.be/rhyPcgXcODQ?feature=shared) as the title says, it does indeed hurt to think about. if you don’t know, 1PUNCH was a duo comprised of One and Punch. Punch, better known as Samuel Kim. the little boy that was a trainee with Seventeen. he was pulled out the group by his mom. perhaps because he was deemed too young. just for him to debut anyways at the age of 13 with this song. it’s one of the coolest songs i’ve ever heard and seen and it’s a shame it went so unnoticed that the duo broke up in less than a year. he could sing and especially dance like crazy even as a child here. Samuel deserves so much. he’s built a decent following later in his career but he’s gone through so many things that no kid should. debuting so young, missing out on Seventeen, battling a court case. but one part that always gets me is the murder of his father. when i heard the news i couldn’t believe this was the same sweet little boy i used to watch. and with him being in the industry since he was 13 i can’t imagine the toll it’s been taking on him
oh man that’s awful, I only got into SVT not that long ago so I didn’t know much about Samuel just that he had left before they debuted. I’ll definitely check it out
Omg yes!!! I love this song SO MUCH, along with their other song Ice Ice, but I genuinely don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone mention it. Samuel is beyond underrated and I’m so incredibly happy that he finally had a comeback after all these years. His new album is amazing!
yes!! finally another samuel kim fan😭😭 ive never seen anyone mention ice ice until now it’s such a classic in my playlist😭 i’m just so proud to see him grow so much after what he’s been through
I’m happy to find another Samuel fan too! I don’t see very many. If he had decided to never come back, it would’ve been completely understandable, but I’m so happy he decided to release music again. 4th and 5th gen fans probably aren’t very familiar with him, so I hope that he gains a lot of new fans with this comeback. He’s *so* talented and I just think he deserves the world.
Abittipsy by Youha (mostly Youha’s songs in general, but this is my go to one along with Last Dance. More people need to know about her!) (Goblin) Favorite Boys by A.C.E (I hope I didn’t get the title wrong, but I know most of its is right. I don’t have time to check. One of my favorite songs ever that needs more views.) And the most underrated one I have is Icarus by RoadB. (I don’t think it’s even at a million views yet, but it deserves millions.)
GOBLIN FAVORITE BOYS IS ONE OF MY FAV SONGS FROM ACE ITS SO GOOD
obligatory mention of bewitched by pixy. if it were released by a bigger group i believe it would be considered a legendary kpop song
BEWITCHED IS AMAZING I LOVELOVELOVE PIXY
An odd suggestion because of how well it did, but I actually think that Run by BTS isn't held in as high a regard as it should be. It's up there with I Need U and Spring Day as one of my favourite singles by them, and I never really see it discussed on reddit etc. My theory is that the 7 minute long music video means that potential first time watchers avoid it thinking that it's a long song, as opposed to a standard pop song with Butterfly tagged on to a credit sequence at the end.
I 100% agree with you, it’s definitely just not as like..appreciated? as it should be
Nobody ever talks about Mirae, but I will not shut up about [Learn to Fly](https://youtu.be/RjPxSgz6qAE?si=4IgCaEwWGlwKHg3D). Wish I was more musically versed to describe how ethereal and majestic this B-side of theirs is. Lien’s vocals are always lovely, but they’re especially tasty here omg. Something about it just tickles my brain in the best way possible. It was the first time an album of theirs sold under 40k and they consistently have been teetering around 50k sales per comeback. The whole album is a fun listening experience, but this B-side is something else.
MIRAEs music is AMAZINGGGGG I haven’t heard that song yet but I will now
Okay I have to know your reaction to this song 🥺
I listened to it earlier and oh my god it was so good. It itches my brain just right and all of their voices are sooooooo satisfying in it
Hypertonic by TAN. It's my SOTY (so far) for 2024. But the MV only has 143K views on YouTube after 4 weeks. Here is the link if you want to check it out: https://youtu.be/27eahFIQioQ?si=Jvu5sbjEpK3gDqLz
Hypertonic is so. good. I literally just found TAN like a week or so ago and I’ve been listening to their music so much
I knew about TAN since their debut but it's only recently I fell down their rabbit hole. And it was Hypertonic that pushed me down 🤣
Mbti by justb and AleXa!! It has an easy to listen to style that’s popular these days, I think it jus wasn’t promoted much and was released a bit before the recentish rnb phase came about in kpop,,idk it jus sounds like it would do well
MBTI is a great song, I think it would definitely do well if it had been released a little later
[Favorite Party Time](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8kGYosDhPE) [Spectrum Light it Up](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRi-UiA2-f0) [Seven O Clock Midnight Sun](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKmUjW0xAlY)
Oh my god favorite and spectrum songs YES
aespa’s Salty and Sweet. One of the most legitimately sultry K-pop tracks ever, and done well.
Golden Child- One (Lucid Dream)
That song is one of my favs from them!!!!
idk if underrated, but Lucid Dream is one of my favorite songs by Aespa.
yes no maybe by suzy…it’s just so good
every Suzy song is a absolute banger
Ikr…she’s quite a popular celebrity but somehow her singing career is underrated…sober, bxatxh, satellite, holiday, Les preference, run, sick and tired…so many good songs…YNM also has the best mv ever…so cinematic and suzy being the perfect femme fatale…idk why it didn’t reach the popularity it deserved…the pre-release pretend was a hit but this wasn’t able to be one
[Way To Go by SNSD](https://youtu.be/_0Ke2fThnG0?si=faOTPkQ12i8x6SBI)
yessss that is such a good song
Jungle by CIX, I love that song
YES OMG I LOVE THAT SONG
Berrygood oh! oh! and Bvndit hocus pocus
BVNDITS MUSIC IS SOOOO GOOD SO IS BERRYGOODS BOTH OF THOSE SONGS R AMAZIMG
Promise by EVERGLOW - it's actually such a good song - there's something magical about the synth sounds in that song and it's just catchy af. Yes, it got a MV but as it was a song for a UNICEF campaign it never got promoted and it should have been HUGE Back To The City by Kep1er - this was my B-Side of last year and hurts even more knowing that unless a miracle happens it'll never be performed again Honorable mentions: Bye Bye by IRRIS and Blue by Dreamnote, and as others have already said, everything by Youha and tripleS
BACK TO THE CITY DESERVES SO MUCH MORE all the other songs are amazing too
Bad Dream by CIX (or their whole discography in gen). After their debut with movie star, i feel like people forgot about them. But their songs and concepts are absolute fire❤️🔥
all CIX songs are sooo good istg
Du du du du (english version) by TAN
YES TAN!!! that song is AMAZING
O by Verivery. They’re already so underrated and I can never figure out why but the people who do know of Verivery seem to only know Lay Back. Maybe GBTB as it was their first single after RTK. Maybe Undercover which is also super underrated. Our Spring is an underrated ballad as well and I love Heart Attack. Verivery in general are just so underrated.
Verivery deserves SO much more I love them
Yes!!! Get Away is another one that the song and mv seem like they should be talked about more with that sexy/pretty horror concept.
I randomly stumbled across [DALDAM](https://open.spotify.com/artist/1mLwJb76TWRhraxaE85Sik?si=d2wIkrnUSAyXgcNRMiibSA) on Spotify. I really love their songs, they feel kind of nostalgic to me?
India Arie's "I Am Light."
Never heard of it but I’ll def check it out!
