hi sis! im loving your posts of underrated kpop queens could u please post some more?
Glad you like them!, and since you asked for it, here are another underrated kpop kweens:
This time we’ll get to know Laboum whom have been around since 2014 and slept on since their debut HOWEVER koreans and the world need to wake up and give these girls some love since THEY DID THAT and released the kbop of the summer 2k17.
Hwi Hwi (most commonly and mistakenly known as Miss This Kiss -which is actually the name of the mini-album featuring this song- ) is Laboum’s latest release and it has instantly become their most successful release to date outselling all six of their previous mini-albums in just one day.
This sudden success has caught everyone by surprise (their company and the girls themselves) especially when they had to turn to crowdfunding to fund this release (link for their makestar campaign here).
Laboum were really struggling (this is actually their second time having to use crowdfunding to make a comeback) so it’s really awesome that they’re getting more recognition and revenue (this means more releases in the future).
They even got their first win ever since they debuted.
It really warms my heart and makes me really happy when I see underrated girlbands finally seeing their hard work and efforts pay off. Seriously, these girls work their asses off (not only Laboum but basically every girl in every girlband especially if they’re not that well-known) and this hard work is not always appreciated or rewarded so it makes me really happy that they’re finally getting some recognition. Kudos to you kweens! 💖.
However not everything about this sudden success is ~all happiness~ since they’ve been accused of sajaegi (sajaegi is when companies buy albums to boost sales). Also, their first win has also been criticized for being fixed (they beat IU, a solo singer who is far more famous and established).
Fortunately the music show released a statement confirming that their win is legit and valid and also their company has shut down the rumours of sajaegi so everything’s is fine and valid for our new underrated kweens.
Am I the only one who enjoys the ~performance/dance version~ of the music videos more than the actual ones?.
