Hidden Gems #12: Why by 4ten

Today's Hidden Gem is Why by 4ten

4ten is super nugu and even among the like 12 of us who exist not many talk about Why and it's not only my favorite 4ten song, but one of my favorite songs of all time. There's just something about the melody and the vocals that make me happy and nostalgic.

4ten was supposed to make a comeback as a trio a few years ago, but plans fell apart and the group ultimately disbanded. They had a couple lineup changes since this video and none of the members are very active any more. TEM (the rapper who sounds like Euna Kim) is married and is a mom so that's pretty cool.

The song is really great

i am just curious

how do u find all those songs & groups ?

do u specifically look for underrated & nugu artists?

I do have accounts that I follow that promote nugus. But I'd say the main way I was introduced to groups is through:

K-ville charts

Kpopinfo.114

Subscribed to literally hundreds of Youtube channels

And then I pretty much support everyone

That's how you promote nugu group.

You're so sweet! Do you want to get tagged in future episodes?

I know kpopinfo114, but I didn't knew about K-ville, I'll check it out

They're a youtube channel and they have a weekly list for new Kpop releases as well as a chart where you can vote for your favorite songs. It's a pretty good representation of how the international community feels about certain comebacks.

Sorry for not being too much active on your other posts, my internet was dead slow some days ago, but thank god I have some mvs downloaded, so fortunately I didn't die of boredom

No problem at all. You're so sweet

Quote from minigee

Most of their mvs seemed to be shot abroad, which imo was always a plus, cuz nowadays things are more prone to happen inside of studios, or locally in Korea

You're right. That was like their thing for their first few songs. Then they dropped that and then they just disbanded
