In this series we remember songs that have been forgotten or were never even given the attention they deserved. Today's Hidden Gem is Ma Ma My by F1RST
Here's a co-ed group that you've probably never heard of. I really do wish we had more co-ed groups just because I like the sound of male and female vocals together. This chorus is super catchy and gets stuck in my head all the time. I like the part where it goes back and forth between the guys and the girls. I like how that's reflected in the choreography formations too.
F1RST sadly disbanded after this song. And after all these years Kpop is still barely ready for another co-ed group beyond KARD. None of the women were active after disbandment. In fact, they often were the ones who kept getting replaced when the group was active. So their company probably said screw it: let's just promote a boy group, which they did with FameUs. Racoon, one of the members, re-debuted in a duo called Dual Number. They are still active and he's also a dancer for MB Crew. The other three guys re-debuted in FameUs under the same label. They only released three songs. Two of those three members, re-debuted for a third time in AxisB (along with another FameUs member). They only released two songs and silently disbanded in 2017. DoA, one of those members, is involved with the group 3way set to debut soon in Korea.
