On this series we remember songs that have been forgotten or were never even given the attention they deserved. Today's Hidden Gem is Painkiller by Spica.
Spica is known by many as one of the greatest losses in Kpop. Great visuals, likable members, and more than anything, strong vocals. They were hyped up when they debuted as Lee Hyori's girl group. Painkiller was one of their first comebacks and its one even the fandom doesn't talk about to often. I think it is a vocal masterpiece.
Spica disbanded in 2017. Sadly throughout their career they made a few bad moves: going on hiatus while they were still popular and while Kpop was growing internationally. The other mistake was making an American debut during their peak in Korea. You haven't even made a dent in Korea yet, you're gonna take on The States? Note this was still before Kpop had gotten big internationally. Those things prevented them from getting big. Jiwon competed on the Unit and got a lot of attention and luckily made the top 9 to promote in Uni.T. Narae and Sihyun haven't been up to much. Boa and Bohyung are now a duo called Keembo and they've been super active. Some of their songs are really good too.
