What is the most nugu non-nugu that you know?

Quote from Fansamy

I remember them being quite nugu when I discovered them and I was like: "Great, another good group that not enough people will listen to to sustain them". I found out about them on the same day as I found out about Lunarsolar. However, to my surprise, I keep hearing people talk about them.

I'd say they're still nugu, but instead of seeing the bottom of the sea, they are close enough to the surface to get some light on them.

I really hope so. There's tons of very underrated groups that unfortunately disband before seeing a bit of glory.

I think in Rescene. They just debut and look very nugu but their album sold 30K+.

They are having a limelight type debut.

I would pick them 2 to have their out of nugudom moment pretty soon.

All they need is better charting.

firstly I think one needs to distinguish between nugu who directly translates to who in korean which is synonymous for a group that is unknown

it has been co-opted to mean any group who has flopped or is not successful

also what is nugu to us as kpop fans differs dramatically to the SK public

that said the only sorta nugu group I keep an eye on is Lightsum

I mostly stan boy groups and soloists, but for me I have heard of + listened to at least two songs of:

Billie.

Purple Kiss.

Rolling Quartz.

Otherwise for boy groups? Maybe

Omega X.

Vanner.

They have improved in attention and I have seen new commenters lately but (with the platforms I'm on), I see very few mention their music releases.

Black Swan and CSR, I see kpop stans talking about both groups quite often but number-wise they're both still very nugu groups

BlackSwan gets some publicity internationally, but yes, they are still pretty nugu, people may just know them as the kpop group with all foreigners.
