In this series we remember songs that have been forgotten or were never even given the attention they deserved. Today's Hidden Gem is Love Line by Hyolyn, Bumkey, & Jooyoung
This is one of my favorite collaborations of all time for Kpop. This is like the group project where all the smart kids work together and get an A+. Everyone is an amazing vocalist and it's got such a good groove. Hyolyn is just amazing, it just sounds like she's smiling when sings. This isn't the first time she's done music with Jooyoung too, they had a pretty big hit in 2014. Bumkey I think was the mastermind behind the arrangement and he is such a good songwriter as evidenced by this song
Hyolyn continued promoting with Sistar and as a solo artist until 2017 under Starship, also competing as a rapping contestant on Unpretty Rapstar 2. After Sistar disbanded she set up her one woman agency and has been releasing music since, unfortunately not really getting much attention. She participated on Queendom 2 and despite having a good start, ended up in 5th place, also the show flopped too. Currently she made a Sistar19 comeback with Bora after a decade hiatus and the song is good! Jooyoung enlisted in the military as this song was released and got discharged in 2017. He was on a survival show called Breakers in 2018. He left Starship in 2021 and is under a new company now where he posts music pretty frequently. Bumkey has continued to do his thing in the R&B world, releasing solo content and collaborating with other artists. He also became a father in 2016.
