In this series we remember songs that have been forgotten or were never even given the attention they deserved. Today's Hidden Gem is Come by Newkidd
Newkidd had tons of potential when they started out. This is my favorite song by them. The breakdown of the song is very similar to most 4th gen boy groups. The video is super nice though and the chorus is very catchy.
After this comeback they kinda just vanished. Fans were really confused because they had no activities for the longest time. In 2020 three of the members were hospitalized, which is really concerning. In 2022 they started posting again and made a "comeback" but with only two members, one of them being new to the team. Jinkwon was the member from this lineup who promoted with the new member. He has been acting in several Kdramas while Newkidd is inactive. During the hiatus Hansol officially left the team. Currently he is a dance teacher in Australia and has given up on the entertainment industry as a performer. He was SO close to debuting with NCT and probably would have been as popular as Mark and Taeyong if he actually debuted. But I get not wanting to have to split profits with over 20 other people when I'm hard carrying the group's popularity. Woochul and Yumin redebuted in the group The7 in January of 2023. Newkidd's situation is very strange. I don't know why they tried to revive the team as a duo with only one member returning. Not to mention the members being hospitalized, idk I hope they're okay. Again, not shocked Hansol left the industry after so many bad experiences and missed opportunities.
