In this series we remember songs that have been forgotten or were never even given the attention they deserved. Today's Hidden Gem is Color Me Rad by D.Holic
This song went platinum among the nugu community in 2016. It's honestly one of the best low budget Kpop songs I've ever heard. Really powerful EDM track with strong vocals and a catchy memorable chorus. EJ was also ahead of the time with masks.
They needed a certain amount of sales to stay alive, at least that's what they told fans. Some rich investor helped them reach their goals so we thought D.Holic would be back. However they switched companies, lost two members and performed this one unreleased song, but disbanded shortly afterwards. Rena was on Mix Nine and was supposed to re-debut (never happened). Hwajung debuted solo in 2019. Hami was on Produce Camp 2020 (the Chinese version) and did pretty well, she got 16th place of 101. Sadly none of the members are really doing so well.
