Underrated K-Pop Groups #9 - WINGS

Hello, pumpkins,

once again back to the underrated groups. This time it's a female duo WINGS, formed under Sony Music Korea in 2014. The duo consists of Yeseul and Nayoung. During their trainee days they recoreded guide vocals for the Korean version of Little Mix's single, 'Wings', which led to their formation.


I fell in love with them. They're very talented and really stand out, even though no one really heard of them. Usual K-pop stans follow idol music but don't look into these smaller groups. They really deserve much more attention than what is given to them now.


If you listen to 'Blossom' or 'Hair Short' doesn't matter. You can hear it. They have very fresh and abstract concepts, making a little different music than idols. In the song 'Blossom' is even featured Baechigi, quite trendy rapper in South Korea.


In my opinion they're both very beautiful. Can't really say which one's more. The same applies for their voices.


Listen to them and make your own opinion but I really think they are going to have big name in the music industry someday. Now just waiting for their comeback! Fighting!

Skoolooks

Hello, pumpkins,

let's take a look on something different now. I've got many bias groups and two of these are Apink and B.A.P. So you can guess that their collaboration song made me fangirl all over the place.


I really love it! This catchy, cheerful song made my day. For the photoshoot they even posed with B2ST! I really love this whole idea whatever it is. I'll drop a few pictures here so you can see what I'm talking about.



And in the end something cheerful! Fighting!

Underrated K-Pop Groups #8 - Spica

Hey, pumpkins,

again with girl groups, I'd like to introduce you Spica. This five-member group was formed under B2M Entertainment in 2012. Their popularity is rising ever since but I still don't hear about them much. Me getting to know them was just a lucky coincidence.


If you listen to their voices you'll probably understand what I'm talking about. Their music is catchy and I liked to listen to them while doing house works. I seriously love Juhyun's rap parts, it's just amazing!


Let's hope they become more attention worldwide as they deserve. Maybe you say they're not that underrated but I decided to write about them because I myself knew nothing about them because I didn't come across a post about them until recently. Fighting!



Underrated K-Pop Groups #7 - BESTie

Hey, pumpkins,

I'm back with more underrated girl groups since I really think that because of the huge amount of loud and crazy fangirls obessing over boy groups, girls don't get as much attention as they should. Let's introduce you a group called BESTie.


BESTie made their debut as a four-member group under YNB Entertainment in 2013, consisting of Hyeyeon, UJi, Dahye and Haeryung. I just got to know them but as I looked into Internet for some information they're often associated with EXID which overshadows them in my opinion. I asked a few people about them and everyone's first thought was EXID.


I would say they deserve more attention independent on EXID. They're talented and could do well on their own. It's said because no one talks about them on social media as much as about "top groups". BESTie could follow them if they got a chance. Fighting!


Underrated K-Pop Groups #6 - SPEED

Hello, pumpkins,

today let's take a look into other underrated K-pop groups, now an idol one. This now seven-member boy group is called SPEED and debuted under MBK Entertainment (formerly Core Contents Media) in 2012. Formerly known as "Male Unit" of Coed School, they got new name SPEED when their agency announced them to be an independent group in 2013.


They were originally a six-member group composed of Kwanghaeng, Noori, Jungwoo, Taewoon, Sungmin and Jongkook. After some line-up changes they consist now of Jungwoo, Yuhwan, Taeha, Jongkook, Sejun, KI-O and Sungmin.



Guys, they're pretty good. I still don't remember all the members but I fell for them. They're talented vocalists, dancers and rappers, they make great music. I saw some shows with them and they're also quite funny.


I would say that with more international fans they could also become someone big. They have the talent but not the opportunity. I don't tell you to love them. Just saying. My purpose of this is to make you learn new groups and maybe finding new bias. Fighting!

Underrated K-Pop Groups #5 - Fly to the Sky

Hi, pumpkins,

this post is also dedicated to a duo. This time no siblings but two very talented men forming Fly to the Sky, consisting of Brian Joon and Hwanhee. They are credited as the first R&B duo in South Korea. They debuted under SM Entertainment in 1999 before signing under PFull Entertainment as their contract with SM expired.


Their beautiful, yet somehow sad music could catch attention of many. Their strong vocals and sad sounding voices pierce through one's soul like needles that heal you.



I would say these two really deserve more attention. Not just because of their handsomeness but also their music. These slow, sad melodies made me swing around to the rhythm while tidying up our house. Fighting!

Underrated K-Pop Groups #4 - AKMU

Hi, pumpkins,

let's return to uderrated K-pop groups. This post is going to be about a sibling duo AKMU. Lee Chanhyuk and Lee Sunhyun won the second installment of K-Pop Star 2. They debuted in 2014 under YG Entertainment. They formed a duo AKMU, short for Akdong Musician.


They're really talented. I spent about two hours listening to them and I fell in love. Their cheerful, beautiful songs really moved my soul. They're funny, dorky and after seeing their performances on K-Pop Star 2 I really started to like them.


So talented siblings are rare to see. I came across only good groups so far but this one takes one of the first rungs. Chanhyuk sings, composes their songs and even plays a guitar while Sunhyun sings with her breathtaking voice...


Yeah, they may not be the most handsome and good-looking but it's the music that counts. Sunhyun is really lovely, cute and has a bright smile. Chanhyuk seems very optimistic, energic and funny. I really adore them. Fighting!
