My answer hasn't changed since I began asking this question years ago.

And now is the perfect opportunity for my annual plug of the most underrated bop from the most underrated girl group

I would always choose BESTie. I have a true Midas Touch when it comes to my favorite nugu girl groups skyrocketing into superstardom (EXID and Mamamoo being easy examples), but my powers finally failed me with BESTie

They had visuals. They had vocals and the best main vocalist of any girl group possibly ever (Uji). They had great songs. They had fun, quirky personalities. They had it all!

I wish I could've seen them rise to the top, but everything faded away with little explanation after they released their last title track as a group

The fact they never hit it big keeps me up at night

+1 for BESTie

It's hard to choose among nugus, I like so many of them. Ok, let it be 9MUSES. Brilliant music, literally every track is a huge bop. Members are full of charisma. Nice concept. I watched a documentary and I was so sad about their fate. Still have no clue why didn't they topped the industry...

Quote from HwaGoose

It's WhitePink from South Korea.

They are very popular among teens now a days. And their fans call themselves "WINK"

It has 5 members, Elizabeth, Jessie, Rosie, Kazoo and Nayeon.

And they debuted with their song "Into The New World" in 2012.

This is the lead vocalist, Kazoo

This is the main rapper, Jessie

This is the main vocalist and banjoist, Rosie

This is the lead rapper and main dancer, Elizabeth

And this is the youngest member, vocalist and visual, Nayeon

WhitePink are soon going to release their newest song "When You Say My Name" on 9th of December.

Recently, they released their song "Supernova"

Now let's talk about the dark side of kpop.

About when Nayeon broke Rosie's banjo because they had a heated argument about whether or not mint chocolate tastes good.

But Nayeon later apologized and bought her a new banjo.

Just kidding, this thread was based on an old thread that I made once.

I stan banjoist. I loved kpop banjoism since I was born

Quote from Drew_B

They were close to extinct last I was here full time but I'm not seeing a lot of discussion about either of them.

Did Bunnies run most of them off? And can either of them save Hybe girl groups?

And more importantly is Kazhua still hot?

It's a burden being a fan of them nowadays

Quote from JesseAlex

I couldn't find news about this group's disbandment, but I'm aware they had no comebacks this year and the group I'm referring to is PIXY.

I'm not sure if they will return in 2025.

Dunno what's going on with their management which kicked out 2 members and the main composer-songwriter. So dumb, so dumb... PIXY had an unique concept, complex choreo, power vocals, nice visuals, amazing songs... they had all for climbing up

This year I observed how kpop was degraded by capitalism and ChatGPT so it has weaker presence in my Spotify compared with previous years.

Quote from sveznalica

I wonder what people mean when they say this, mysic is subjective, so who are you to say which album is better than another?

Anyway, discussing something subjective as music quality for awards which have strict criteria like 60% digitals 20% fan votes 20% panelists is ridiculous.

nah digitals, the quality matters

MAMA, hire me! I will present an award to KIOF and I will kiss Belle's hand in an honorary manner

I feel the pain in the lower part of my back. Justice for fromis_9, the infinite virginity for Mr. BANG. No more dates with BJ anymore, you are punished

Quote from girlgroupstan21

im not defending cube but .. their hatred for the company was so loud and obvious that even non fans know about it. and that might sound harsh but it just makes them look like fools and some kind of hypocrites to be honest

A critics was targeted Cube's CEO because Soyeon (I'm sure about it) wants to take his seat. Nevies are delulus again, there is absolutely no reason for Gidle to left CUBE. Even back to 2020 Soyeon had a voice in this company, and now she became much more powered.

Did most of them just disappear all of a sudden? They are even doing worse than ILLIT.

I guess this is a true picture of groups' popularity we can't see before because of HYBE payola. Also, take a look on Gidle. As I said, OT5 is popular among general public which prefer to listen it as background music and may even don't know names of all members. Kicking out Soojin from the group caused that many people including such hardcore stans like myself and thebadguy have been left the fandom and never turned back

Quote from icyruios

Who has better visuals her or Min Hee Jin?

You came too early with that poll . Wait for BJ Juice Seyeon to be appointed

Quote from huRRicane8

There have been many Awards established for kpop artists I know but it's my first time seeing the best kpop album award, has any other award show done this? It's so weird, I wonder why they not include kpop artists with western artist lists

k-pop is a special genre, not just a music. There is nothing wrong to make a separate category for it

Quote from Aeicy

Or we all just waiting to be engulfed in flames ??

I lower my body temperature

Quote from badboybill

It was a diss to the haters and probably to cube.

With Soojin's name as a token to make some buzz. There is no closeness between them. Just a fact that BRD even did not mention Gidle in Soojin's biography says a lot. Like she was never in the group.

Being a Korean speaker doesn't give us a proof to your words because you can be Nevie and justify everything Soyeon says or does.

If there was a friendship, Soyeon said (through her rapping or in a direct message) that Soojin was falsely accused and she's not a bully. Or maybe she can post a photo with Soojin.

Do you remember AoA case? Seolhyun is still in touch with Jimin and showed that to the public. This is how friendship looks, not through the questionable rap on MAMA stage

Quote from Yama-Chan

We're in year-end season now, and it seems most of the drama for this year has either been completed or will resume in January.

So what do you predict happens in 2025? Be as broad or specific as you want.

BJ Juice Seyeon will be the next ADOR CEO

Quote from superyeah

Sugary-Salt

I don't think that Soyeon intentionally wanted to harm Soojin with that cringe lyrics. I think she wanted to make some buzz around and show her fEmAle emPoWeRmEnT to the public. She knows that people will talk if she will mention Soojin's name, so she hyped. Selfish, cynical behavior. Nothing personal.

Quote from thebadguy

Im glad i unstaned gidle after soojin left the group.

Sugary-Salt what do you think

This is what I thought after reading Soyeon's lyrics.

Quote from alexS

no, it was a diss to the CEO who told her that they would not get hits without her.

Not a diss to her in the slightest. Listen to the hangul please.

CEO was right
