Chungha the Biggest Fumble of the Bag in Kpop?

  • Don't get me wrong I love my sis Chungha, I stayed up for Gotta Go, I was a shooter for Snapping, I streamed Stay Tonight, this is 100% the failing of her company and not her, however it's pretty sad how much potential was failed to capitalize on. Let's relive a brief history...

    Chungha's solo career shot to stardom with Roller Coaster, becoming somewhat of a national hit

    Then Love U came which didn't get as good reception as Roller Coaster but it was a bop that kept her momentum going nonetheless

    Then Gotta Go came out, and although it still failed to live up to the success of Roller Coaster, it arguably became Chungha's most critically acclaimed song

    Then Snapping, following the same sound of Gotta Go, which some criticized for being too similar, however it helped establish Chungha's signature sound

    The came the Querencia prereleases..... (this is where it started to go downhill)

    Stay Tonight, Play, and Stay Tonight were all decent songs, however they got minimal promotion and failed to make waves and the biggest issue was the timing... the first Pre-release was dropped nearly a year before the actual album 'Querencia' was released. By the time Chungha's first full album was released, most of the hype outside of her fanbase had disappeared.


    and here we are today... Chungha is by no means a flop, however her career is far from where it could be had her company properly capitalized on her 2019 hype

  • Bicycle is a grew on me a lot. I think people didn't like the hard turn she did with her image. I also feel like her company has been hit by COVID since she hasn't had a legit comeback in a while. I think they had invested a lot in her promoting in the US which got torpedoed by the pandemic.

  • as a chungha fan i just have to say: she has great songs.

    dream of you, play, bicycle, snapping, killing me, etc. were great.

    but this goes back to the idea of how much you're willing to listen to a song.

    i didn't like most of these, but the more i listened the more i found to appreciate about each track.

  • I never got the appeal of her beyond her striking visuals. I never considered her a great dancer and her hit songs never registered with me.


    That being said, i LOVED Dream of You. Easily her best song and one of the best solo songs released that year.


    Also, we always do this with solo artists. With the exception of IU and Taeyeon, they ALL flop, sometimes flopping multiple times in a row before their next hit single. It's not a bad thing and not an indication that their careers are over.

    She had 2 good years 2018,19. Her strength is Choreo, and has had the best career in singing from IOI alum, Sejeong is still the overall success.


    It is too early to write her off, she is solidly in the 2nd tier and all it takes is the one comeback to be a hit.

  • Stay Tonight has one of the best dance routines ever
