songs that were entirely too good to be nugu

[@sarahxoxo2066]

CLC PEPE IS ONE OF THE BEST DEBUTS PERIOD!!!!! it not being a hit feels like a glitch in the universe, imagine how big it would be if it came out now : (

[@ThemedNumber02]

I still listen to it today it came out like 6 years ago!

[@ponds7177]

it certainly felt like a hit at the time. 💔 i became immediately hooked to all of the members after watching the mv just once; i also can’t help but remember how happy it made me when all of their names started showing up towards the end of the mv, haha. even today, i still consider clc’s pepe to be a perfect debut.

[@renia1833]

How that song did instantly make them popular is beyond me 😭 I kinda get upset just thinking about it

[@fooolsun4917]

I'm so mad because Weki Meki has been constantly releasing bop after bop, they have two members that were insanely popular at least when they debuted, I don't understand how are they this slept on.

[@Ash-sd6ui]

honestly same... i dont know much about them but i really like their music, i dont get how arent they more popular?

[@unbothered5240]

Weki Meki, CLC, and Sohee are robbed for literally no reason. Clc was stopped by their own company from succeeding, for whatever reason... But Weki Meki drops ONLY bops with amazing choreo... And freaking Sohee is just a visual and elite dancer... who sings freaking live each time so effortlessly. None of it makes sense. It really feels like the Korean audience legitimately only cares about either a sob story cutesy girl, or big 3 sometimes... because it's clearly not a talent or musical sound thing.

[@kristin123a]

Tbh I think their name is just really bad? Does it sound cool or cute in other languages or countries? Cuz I think it sounds weird and childish. There are small, stupid things like that that can affect popularity.

[@tokyoyoongi5538]

I don't get it either. Even, Doyeon is underrated as an individual idol when her visuals are insane.

[@fooolsun4917]

@@kristin123a I don't think it's the name. It's quirky but that's common in K-Pop. I mean, if Mamamoo was able to succeed with that name, I don't think their lack of popularity can be blamed on that.

[@svthinapia]

Also I'll never understand how Uni.t flopped with their INCREDIBLE discography.

[@crystyles]

they were managed by mbk i mean askfjaksfjkal

[@svthinapia]

@luisa omgggg everything make sense now

[@riezierr]

NO FR THEIR SONGS WERE SO GOOD

[@katiekawaii]

Zero financial support from the label 😤

[@lambiamusic]

not to mention uni.t’s jiwon’s FIRST group being spica…… This woman is always wronged

[@Gothic_Bondage]

Hobgoblin is FLAWLESS. & very much ahead of time like CLC in general those girls HAD IT. Same for Weki Meki Cool is one of THE best arranged pieces of music

[@HuginMunin]

Hobgoblin is great but it's funny to call it ahead of it's time, it's pretty much 100 percent a 4Minute song.

[@angelic218]

stellar and 9 muses both have some of the best discographies in kpop and yet....

[@Gabz98_]

They where always behind girls Generation shadow

[@cakredi4132]

Puzzle Moon might be one of the best debuts by a girl group ever.

[@al3x4.07]

nugu groups always have the best songs yet they’re so underrated

[@gustav5359]

The fact that Ladies' Code is basically unknown for their discography is a crime too, literally on the same level as red velvet

[@bc2675]

shocked dia wasn't more famous in korea. wasn't chaeyeon pretty well known in korea too? i feel like she was really popular 2017-2019

[@crystyles]

she's still pretty popular in korea they just dont care about her group😭 the group was never properly promoted and the other members were never promoted either so literally chaeyeon is the only one with a career

[@StrayKids_et_al]

A lot of it has got to do with the backlash her group received for pulling her away from IOI group activities

[@AlyDia2]

Chaeyeon had this weird thing where half of everybody would be like she’s the best thing that’s ever happened and the other half absolutely hated her and boycotted everything she did. Unfortunately tho, DIA was essentially seen as Chaeyeon and her backup dancers which sucks for the other girls

[@thebstar1366]

Say what you will about their management but Fantagio Ent. knows how to pull good producers for their artists. Hello Venus and Weki Meki have amazing songs for groups that never got first wins.

[@tokyoyoongi5538]

Drip by Hinapia deserved better. Such a good debut song that was released at the worst time (when covid was severely affecting small company rookies).

[@jomiguel5113]

High Heels is so iconic, and still SPOTIFY HAD THE AUDACITY TO REMOVE IT, I'm devasted. At least Someone Like U is still there.

[@crystyles]

LITERALLY WHEN IS THE EP COMING BACK THIS IS A POP EMERGENCY

[@jjba3571]

One of the best kpop songs ever and their company remove the mv with TOOOOONS of views

[@nerd23x]

CLC would done well if they debuted in 2017 with HOBGOBLIN they would garner so much international fans!!

[@jiafeiscvmmedproduct9041]

Weki Meki deserve everything, they're super talented and make quirky teen crush music, what else can we ask for????

[@KatBlaque]

lol. Not me knowing most of these and not even understanding they were nugu groups. lol.

[@crystyles]

KAT BLAQUE??????

[@minhtuannguyen3300]

Angel by BerryGood is a party of highnotes and deserves multiple cups

[@TheRatherStrange0ne]

Stellar's Crying and Chi Chi's Love is Energy should have been MASSIVE and I'll never forgive the fates that let them slip into nugudom

[@taniaferreira3727]

I looove stellar, they have no bad songs but im so sad about their story so i feel bad listening to their music

[@jjba3571]

Same, i used to enjoyed listening to their songs non stop but after knewing they didnt wnjoy the genre i was kind of sad, still bops, so conflicted

[@kabina7994]

see how almost all of them are cute bright FUN songs?? yes exactly

[@sadeira7585]

R.o.S.E Blue by Dreamcatcher for sure. I wish they would've been able to promote it, it's such a gorgeous song and MV, gives me chills every time

[@marieg9267]

Picky Picky is on repeat forever, I rlly wish Weki Meki were more succesful, great concept and consistent bops.... Oopsy slaps too

[@svthinapia]

Someone like U is a HIT! I don't care about the charts or the views. It's the biggest hit in kpop history

[@dervy5935]

WHERE IS NATTY?? SHE RELEASED 2 HITS AND DIPPED But seriously her company was rich I don’t understand??? Aren’t they like a mnet subsidiary or something?? No excuses and now she’s back in Thailand I hate everyone and everything:) Favorite deserve a ticket out of nugudom just for having a lineup that is THAT consistent

[@crystyles]

woahhhh i thought she only went for a little vacation in thailand is she back for real???

[@ThemedNumber02]

She had one of the best debuts and comeback then disappeared. Where was she for all of 2021? I assumed that she wasn’t earning back on investments so her company didn’t want to invest in her anymore. Hopefully she’s preparing to debut in a group or something…

[@Carazhan]

@@ThemedNumber02 could be that w covid her company is trying to save money where they can, paying for a dorm for a year+ while waiting for a time to cb is a huge money sink, which is why a *lot* of groups in semi-active state have said they aren't/weren't living in dorms over the past two years.

[@mathieudorce1559]

The fact that I know and love all these songs ! I will forever be mad about Stellar, 9Muses, Elris and Sonamoo not making it big ! But then again one look at their company and you get it ..

[@neilrusselarban4905]

love so sweet really deserves more recognition :> i used to hate it for being so catchy like it plays on my mind automatically but now i love it

[@kabina7994]

angel by berry good i can feel whe wings growing i can feel my feet getting off the ground absolutely excellent

[@abcnogueira6467]

Weki meki deserves more recognition they have very good songs and are great professionals, they dance and sing very well, not to mention the talents that each one has...

[@Quarksi]

Other songs I'll never understand got slept on: - The ENTIRETY OF MIXX. No really Oh Na Mind is legendary, every song they made is rnb pop perfection. - "I'm your Girl" Khan. I have no words. How can you say you support women and then ignore this - "Wave" Limesoda ... I swear nugus have the best music. I said what I said.

[@SyedaTasnia]

Wave and I'm your girl are amazing!!

[@nereisi]

[@lemondotzip971]

MIXX IS SO GOOD

[@to_angel]

Mixx maybe the best flop girl group I love them and their two songs

[@lizamichelleva8375]

When I tell you hobgoblin was one of the songs that got me into kpop and I thought omg clc is probably the biggest most famous kpop group if they put out bangers like this!! 💀😔💔🤡 Also Uni.t deserved f*cking better like at least rookie of the year and I mean was soty material but no one gets that And I wanna add Pink Fantasy's whole discography, it's crazy to me how Tales of the Unusual just went completely unnoticed

[@ellem8990]

I actually didn't know some of these, but I'm going to listen to them. I also haven't seen anyone mention SPICA in the comments. They were so talented, even ailee said she didn't understand why they weren't popular.

[@kikachu2127]

we failed to stellar, sting is one of the best kpop songs i have listened so far💔

[@khels7932]

Every song on here is actualy amazing, like usually I go into these videos expecting some songs I don’t like to show up but all of these are good lol

[@gretimotionless]

This video is perfect, please play all these songs at my funeral. GWSN has one of the best discographies in kpop, fight me right now, I dare you! Loca was one of my most played songs back when it came out... also you included P.O.P. Catch You... all I can say is that you earned a subscriber, my friend.

[@zoyadean2884]

I always felt like stellar could’ve been huge if they were under a different agency. It makes me sad how they were exploited and over sexualized. Like Vibrato goes HARD among so many other hits 😭

I love the neonpunch appreciation and you are absolutely right about moonlight. It's such a pitty they disbanded. I'll never forgive kpop fans for giving attention to people like oli London instead of talented groups with great songs like neonpunch
