flop song that fans pretend it to be a hits ?

I'm tagging to have a laugh later

I can't think of any tbh

I could think of a lot of songs that flopped when they deserved to be hits but nothing that fans have convinced themselves WAS a hit.

i'd say fancy. one of twices bigger underperformances, and stans were still saying it should have won soty bc twitter

I hate drama but the only song I can think about is Life goes on (no I don't hate the song but do you hear any army sit and say "yeah life goes on was a solid title track" the BE album is good tho) armys I am sorry please don't drag me...

as much as i like Twice - just not this song...and it certainly did not deserve SOTY

agree with fancy, i think.

like there's 5+ more songs above had more impact and stats. sample: bts' bwl is at no. 5 in gaon ye chart and had national and international impact while fancy at no. 29.

take note: they had same month release.

How is it a flop when it's still Top 20 on Melon?

(Correct me if I'm wrong)

Change the title from flop song that deserved to be a hit instead please because i want to say mago

And it got to number 1 in Billboard Hot100 as well

If this means flop to you then nearly all kpop songs are flops

That’s harsh man. Based on that user‘s definition, only Dynamite is not a flop then

Inb4 haters come and say LSG

I haven’t seen any armys calling it a global hit song, it’s a kpop global hit though . It was basically overshadowed by dynamite. In fact dynamite overshadowed every song out there

Still it ain’t a flop. It did better than majority of songs released, if I’m not wrong it’s the 3rd best performing bg song or even in top 5 best performing idol group songs released in 2020

There are so many. Idk if i should name them tho

I remember some people saying Kick it was a hit and I've never undertsood why. It's not a flop and it did ok by boy group's standards but calling it a hit is really far-fetched.

Every G-IDLE title track (besides LATATA, DUMDi DUMDi, and Hann).

Most bgs songs, especially 4th gen , where fans think charting on melon and gaon makes those songs hit lol

No idea why this thread was revived lol but since I have seen that some people picked Fancy, I just want to say that I disagree with that one. Fancy has more than 700 million digital points, it really can't be qualified has a flop in Korea. And it's Twice most successful song internationally I think (spotify and youtube). I agree that people who said it deserved SOTY more than BWL were simply delusional but even if it's not among their biggest hits in Korea I don't think it's fair to say it underperformed severely.

Fancy charted top 3 on Gaon and is certified Platinum, 99% of groups would kill for a "flop" like that. Yes it was not the most popular song of the year, but if that's the criteria there have been essentially no hits released by any artist except BTS the last two years.

Why not? by Loona it didn't do that well

Every itzy song except dalla dalla & every 4th gen boygroup song

Black mamba

I like to pretend this is a hit because that's what it deserves

I have never seen an actual flop be called a hit ever..

All the songs listed in this thread are way far from flops.. underperformed? yes.. but flops? hell no please lmaoooo

I don't really know but it is common that every fandoms claims some songs as hit or national songs which nobody ever thought of.

Dun Dun by Everglow

Not Shy by Itzy

Hot Sauce by NCT Dream (they had so many pre-orders but the song didn't have as much longevity as other hits from around that time (Happen, Next Level, Rollin', and Dun Dun Dance)

God's Menu by Stray Kids

Boss by NCT U

Wonderland by Ateez

Some people say underperforming or normally performing songs a flop. This bothers me the most.

I agree. I believe Fancy did well internationally but saying that it deserved SOTY 2019 was a stretch. It is a good song tho but over Boy With Luv, I don't think Fancy SOTY would've been possible.

Yeah. Fancy definitely is one of their most career defining songs but it was against Boy With Luv which is truly an international hit!

For sure

I think people say SOTY simply when they like a song sometimes. But sometimes the competition ist too strong or maybe their favorite song didn't do as well as the others.

Loona they over hype shit to huge levels.

Kick it
