In this series we remember songs that have been forgotten or were never even given the attention they deserved. Today's Hidden Gem is I'll Call Ya by M.O.A. I'm also linking this live performance featuring the random tall guy because it's that iconic.
One of the campiest songs in Kpop history. If you get it, you get it. If you don't you don't. I think it's fun and I would have liked to see them grow from this. The potential among the girls is there, but the video is so bad. And I give them credit for singing 100% live.
This debut got a lot of negative attention. It was even banned from airing due to low quality. Members were dropping out like flies immediately. They actually did make a comeback shortly after this song. The vocals are one reason they got a lot of hate, but in both of their songs you can tell the issue is with the vocal production, not so much a lack of skill. So kinda sad the sound producers opened up the flood gates for even more hate. MOA was preparing for a comeback in 2015, but it got cancelled and the group ultimately disbanded. 3 members re-debuted in a group called 4L which was EXTREMELY provocative. Unlike MOA the song production is outstanding, but the sexy concept went too far and got banned for a different reason. The members also said they were uncomfortable with the sexy concept. That group also disbanded after debut. 2 of the former MOA members in 4L re-debuted together for a third time as a duo called J.Young who have also since disbanded. The third 4L girl redebuted in a group called Ureka.
