In this series we remember songs that have been forgotten or were never even given the attention they deserved. Today's Hidden Gem is Getting Pretty After by Six Bomb
One of the most controversial and unique groups in Kpop ever! The concept is about getting plastic surgery to become beautiful. They used their profits from the previous viral song to get plastic surgery, so that made international headlines. I think people didn't like it because it holds an uncomfortable mirror to what the Kpop industry is like. The only difference is they were open about it. Political statements aside, the song is super super catchy. You would think with all the media attention they would have gone viral again, but sadly that was not the case. And yeah the video is cheap and the dancing is nothing impressive, I like how they embrace the camp.
After this comeback the two new members left the team. They added a third member, Isol and released a few songs. They disbanded officially in 2020. This group actually lasted 8 years together. Granted, only one member stuck around the whole time, but still! None of the members are really up to much nowadays, but at least Dain, Soa, and Isol still keep in touch.
