In this series we remember songs that have been forgotten or were never even given the attention they deserved. Today's Hidden Gem is Wake Up by Peernine
Peernine were a trio that got some positive attention when they debuted. The song has a very mature sound we don't often hear in Kpop, it's kinda throwback to moody early 2000s music. They have good vocals and it would have been nice seeing them evolve artistically.
This was the only song Peernine released sadly. About 7 years ago there were rumors about this abusive CEO who beat a girl group up with a baseball bat. Many people thought Peernine was the group affected, so that caused a resurgence in interest for the group. This was never confirmed, the group affected stated that the members never re-debuted and stayed away from the industry forever. However one of the members of Peernine had re-debuted in K-Girls a year after Peernine disbanded. After K-Girls, disbanded we don't know what any of the former Peernine members are up to.
