In this series we remember songs that have been forgotten or were never even given the attention they deserved. Today's Hidden Gem is Drop It by FlaShe
I guess I'm in 2012 Kpop mode lol. Another song that sounds like a product of it's time, in a good way. The techno beats over the lyrics "Drop it pop it shake it move it love it like it that’s all my thing" it doesn't get any more early 2010s than that. This was probably the best lineup for Flashe vocally, the singers sound really good during the chorus, which makes it sound uplifting, pretty, memorable and catchy. If they had more of a budget it would have been cool to see them in some club or a boxed set. That would have REALLY made it 2010s kpop. Also it says Ricky is one of the songwriters, as in Ricky from Teen Top? Don't know for sure, but it lowkey does kinda remind me of "Teen Top we go rock it drop it" so I wouldn't be surprised if he wrote their debut.
Can you believe of all groups, Flashe beat the 7 year curse? This music video (which isn't even official btw) would make it seem like they'd burn out quick. And they were active releasing 1-2 songs every year until their disbandment, there was never really a big hiatus. There were lineup changes though, that's for sure. members left immediately after debut, only Narae and Songhee remained with a bunch of new members. Songhee stayed for two more comebacks and left the group in 2014. Narae, the leader and rapper, stuck around the entire time. The new members would stay for a few years or a few months. They mostly promoted cute and bright concepts. After 8 years, they officially disbanded. Narae loved Flashe, she still includes Flashe in her instagram name. Seolhee does modeling now. None of the former members from this lineup (besides Narae) are active on social media.
