Hit song that you didnt expect to become a hit

Dolphin

it's great song but it was a b-side so I seriously didn't expect it to become hit with such longevity

That’s my answer too, I was pleasantly surprised that Dolphin did so well and still doing well, I think?

BTS didn't do shit for this song. Like at all. There is no live performance of this song. Yet it's still in the top 40 of Melon after almost 7 months.

Still top 40 on Melon after more than a year, one of the most stable songs from 2020.

BTS's Idol. This song is extremely weird and nothing like what koreans usually listen. When it was released I though it was going to tank like Not Today, but they smashed, quite amusing if you think pretty much any other group (minus maybe Bigbang) wouldn't even break top 10 of Melon daily with a song like this

I also agree with this; their 2018 MMA performance went viral which is why it did so well in 2019 too.

Mamamoo Gogobebe. This songs is just... bad. Like REALLY bad. Mamamoo isn't a group who can smash with anything they release and their last comeback did very bad, surprised me a lot to see they keep so much time inside top 10 with this

This wasn't a hit lol

Love Scenario.

It definitely is a catchy song but for it to get as big as it did that every school kid was singing it was something I never expected.
