In this series we remember songs that have been forgotten or were never even given the attention they deserved. Today's Hidden Gem is Ottogi by SolB ft Jiyoon (4minute)
This has been recent old song obsession. I miss when Kpop had club bangers like this. I definitely hear some trot inspiration here. Who would have thought techno and trot go so well together? This isn't the first time this has happened even on this series. She's also super pretty, confident, and strong at singing. The dance is so easy and fun too, like something T-ara would done and gone super viral. Solbi has been around since 2006 when she was in the co-ed group Typhoon. So she was a veteran here like 12 years ago. Also Jiyoon is back again on this series from just a couple days ago.
SolB has stayed active over the years constantly changing her stagename. Between her real name, Solbi, and SolB she's going back and forth between which one she uses. Her last release was about a year ago. She's also famous in the art world and her music got more artsy as well. She held multiple exhibitions and says art is a form of healing for her to deal with cyberbullying. Linked here is her Instagram. She has also gotten involved with improving social issues in Korea. She literally enacted a law to give harsher punishments for stalking. In 2018 she started an art program from children in Korea. She released music to promote searching for missing children. She has donated lots of money to charities and victims of natural disaster. She seems to be a great person working hard to advocate for what is right. Good for her!
