In this series we remember songs that have been forgotten or were never even given the attention they deserved. Today's Hidden Gem is Say My Name by ANS
This is one of my favorite girl crush concepts of all time. There are quite a few members of this group who just SERVE. The choreography, the outfits, everything part of the budget was spent well, despite their label not having much. The song went viral among nugu girl group fans, but not enough to actually bring tons of attention to the group and get them out of nugudom.
Things were looking hopeful for ANS after this comeback. They even teased adding a 9th member at the end of the video. Sadly things took a dramatic turn for the worse. 7 of 8 members filed contract termination after one member, Haena, accused the group of bullying. It's a really confusing situation and it never really blew up like some of the other bullying situations, so I'm not going to even try to break it down. What I will say is the court ruled in favor of the members. It gets weird though, so everyone except Haena filed for contract termination. 7 out of 8 members left the company, including Haena. So Bian, despite filing for contract termination and the courts ruling in her favor, ended up staying with the company and re-debuted in their new group: Majors. It gets even weirder, she and her mother claimed multiple times she is no longer a member of Majors. Yet she always was there for their comeback. Even today, 4/6 members have left Majors but she is one of the only two still officially remaining. However I think Majors silently disbanded but who knows if she's under the company still. I really think Bian could have been huge if she were under the right company; she just has that "it" factor. Most of the members have instagram and some have youtube channels. They don't seem to be up to much. Raon debuted a month ago in a duo called Daluna. Bian and Lina recently attended a concert together, so some of the members still keep in contact.
