In this series we remember songs that have been forgotten or were never even given the attention they deserved. Today's Hidden Gem is JJan! Koong! Kwan! by Momoland
Momoland, a group we all know for their viral hit. I feel like people don't give this debut the 10s it deserves. This is legitimately one of the best debuts ever. There's tons of catchy parts and the visuals are so fun and zany. Just a perfect Kpop cute concept in my opinion. Not to mention the choreo is so fun and recognizable. It deserved the fame that BBoom BBoom got.
After this debut Momoland added Daisy and Taeha (which was weird because the group was created out of a survival show, odd to so quickly change the final lineup). Member JooE went viral multiple times for her silly dance break in Wonderful Love and Tropicana Sparkling advertisements. Then they released BBoom BBoom which went on to not just be one of the biggest hits of the third gen, but one of the biggest hits of all time for Kpop. The video currently has nearly 620 million views of YouTube! Unfortunately the success was short-lived due to mismanagement. Many people argued they would replicate BBoom BBoom in their future releases. Taeha and Daisy were unexpectedly put on hiatus and they were back to the original 7. Then Taeha and Yeonwoo officially left while Daisy spent years in the basement (basically she unofficially also got kicked out). They tried continuing as 6, managed to snag one last music show win, made one last comeback last year, and officially disbanded earlier this year. JooE competed on Queendom Puzzle but got eliminated in the first round. Yeonwoo has pursued acting and done alright for herself. Jane is active on YouTube and features former Momoland members. Nayun has also gone into acting. Nancy has too and recently joined former Nmixx member Jinni's label. Lots of acting post-disbandment.
