+Lyrica Baxter I know right. All of their songs and MV are amazing. What makes them even better is that they write their owns and choreograph their own dances. They are so great and talented, but their company is horrible when it comes to promoting them.
Crimson Sins I just recently fell in love with them after watching the videos of them pronouncing western guy and girls name and they were just so cute I had to learn all about them. So I started off learning all their names and from there decided to listen to their music and watch their mv's. And every single song of theirs they've made I love. It sucks that their company doesn't promote them better, they are too talented to be underrated. Hopefully now with 10 members they can get more recognition(not that I didn't love learning about gohn, kidoh, and seogoong), I just feel like 10 members is more manageable. I wish I had found them earlier but better late than never.
Lyrica Baxter Yeah. Most people found them through those vids. I had listened to their songs before hand, but I started to know their personalities after watching them in those vids. Its sad to say, but I think that those two videos brought in more fans then anything their company produced since I see a lot of people saying that they came from watching them. And with 10 members it is easier to manage, but Kidoh and Gohn were super popular and did most of the writing I believe. Now that they are gone, fans left and producing songs has slowed down. Though their newer songs are still super amazing. And yep. But late than never. As long as you enjoy listening to them, it doesn't matter when you start listening to a group. New fans are always welcome- no matter when they join.
Crimson Sins Actually I think I first found them through the beat mv but never looked last that (the beat is literally one of my favorite songs), but then through those videos I grew to love them just because of there personalities. I think more people would become interested in them if their company could just do more things to show people their personalities and from there maybe people will find them like I did. It's sad that fans would just leave because gohn and kidoh left. Like I only know them because of the pasts mvs/songs/vids so I don't feel as connected to them since I was first introduced to topp dogg with the 10 members, but I wish fans would stay loyal even if there favorite left the group like I know it's not the same but even without kidoh and gohn they are still talented so I wish people could've stuck around for their comeback with ten members even though it was a year long hiatus I think. Hopefully in the future they can get more recognition and gain some new fans cause I really think they deserve it.
ToppDogg is amazing. The great thing about them is that they have so much input. They're not dressed up by their label and they produce, write and choreograph most of their own numbers. They're so talented and such nice and funny people and it's sad that they're not more well known.
Barentity Yes but with different things. They all have a say in what their own style (hair, image, concept) is gonna be like, so the label isn't forcing them to change their hair to something they don't like or makes them act a certain way etc like some other groups. They're allowed to be themselves. Other than that, the different members do different things: Yano (a rapper), for example, was the one who wrote (possibly produced) Sweetheart which is a very mellow song that SanDo sings on his own. Kidoh (rapper) used to be the one to produce their music but he left the group. Nakta has become a producer though. Most of them contribute to writing the music, as far as I know, most of the members have studied/ is studying composing and learning how to write and produce. Then there's the ''Wizards'' or the dance line, which is Hansol, Bjoo, Hojoon and Xero (main dancer) who does choreography for a lot of their numbers. (they probably all have a say in this, but these are the main 4 dancers.) There's a lot that I don't know about them so there may be some of them who does other things ;P If you wanna know more about this you can watch a video they did called ''A day in the life of kpop idols'' (something like that) where they're followed around for a day X) Hope that made sense X'D
Barentity It really is. Him and Gohn did great things for the group but in the end it seems like they just wanted to do different things. Miss Gohn's voice especially though, his vocals are so strong!
These videos break my heart to be honest. It really just puts into perspective how many Kpop groups there really are out there, yet we only have a handful in comparison that everyone knows/loves despite them all being equally as good as the ones who aren't so popular. It's really just a competition between big and small record labels at this point, rather than talent.
Isn't it weird that about 70% of the groups in this list had their debut in 2014? other 20% debuted in 2012 and the final 10% debuted between 2010/2011 or 2013. Well, it is said 2014 has been the worst year for Kpop industry because of all the scandals and tragedies, so I guess that has something to do with it.
*I made this ranking judging by this criteria:* *1. Number of comebacks.* *2. Quality of Music.* *3. How old the group is.* *Groups will not be included if:* *1. They have debuted in 2015/2016. They haven't had to struggle as much as these groups.* *2. If they have tasted huge success before (AKA Nu'est & U-Kiss).*
+John Kiddo I could never make that list. Even if I were to think a group is overrated, they would be perfect for someone else. I don't want to put negativity out there. ^-^
-_____- hey Now Nuest the most popular group because produce 101, Seventeen debuted with low budget , they are make produce self music, song and coreographed . in Pledis not only have Seventeen . he had A.S, Nuest , Seventeen and Pristin . please don't judge My son because Pledis boss , their work so hard for company ! yeah... pledis must treat Nuest and A.S again with nice treat like their treat SVT , so.. SVT can rest ..
Watching this video made me do sad :( I don't even stan these groups, but it just doesn't seem fair.. I mean, I don't even know why these groups don't get the recognition that they deserve! The music, dancing, appearance, sets and everything in between was all good! :( Its just not right, and I feel terrible for them...
Chriskalhean Breyel Lauresta Now you're not the only one, lol I'm here. I recently stanned Cross Gene, but I already knew them since 2015 (idk why I didn't stan them sooner, I hate myself)
Yess!! Topp Dogg is wayyyy underrated!! I love them so much, they're all so sweet and they have really good songs! I just don't understand how they can be so underrated?
Hedda Aurora they already lost some members especially their main vocals & producer-rapper which is their latest song are sounds so weak compared with their early songs that sounds so powerful, so they lost their popularity because of it they also experiencing a hard times right now because their ex-CEO was stealing their money
dex crimson they never had THAT popularity to lost any tbh And I think they just wanted to change to a more mature style ;) Also we still have members producing. Actually they are geting more popular now, thought still underrated...
But i see a trend most of the groups here have many members and strong hip hop and r&b influened music style that makes me think perhaps this type of music not popular in Korean but international fans who are more familiar with this type of music can appreciate
I stan Madtown, History, High4, Uniq, 24k, Boys Republic, and Cross Gene it makes me so happy to see them acknowledged in this video, great job ❤ I'm definitely gonna check out some of these groups
+Brandon Epperson Boyfriend were really popular at one stage, and they still have moderate success in Korea. They're nowhere near as underrated as these groups. As for "Xia," do you mean the solo artist who sings "Flower?" haha
I'm so sad for them 😢😢 when some work hard and struggle to get that f***ing attention some are too overrated because they're from big company (and their songs are nothing better than these groups' songs) gob bless these boygroups I really like most of them I hope they will get popular :) the important thing is that they need to stay together no matter what
I'm so glad you made this list. The rate at which k-pop groups come and go is alarming, and often it has nothing to do with how good (or the opposite) the groups are. The smaller companies seem to bite off more than they can chew, and lack of funding (ie not promoting properly) plays a very large part as to why groups just disappear into the ether. C-Clown was excellent, and oops, bye bye. Thanks for this list.
ZE:A really need to make a comeback and win an award now. they deserve better after facing all these struggles. if u guys follow their stories u will know how much KWANGHEE, SIWAN, HYUNGSIK, and DONGJUN work to make people know about ZE:A's existence until now. the other members also work hard too but they didnt get enough schedule frm company so people will think that ZE:A is already disbanded. they work hard from the start and until now but never get a chance to win anything. i just hope ZE:A will make a surprise comeback soon b4 their contract expired. ZE:A PLEASE COMEBACK AND WIN I'M BEGGING YOU 😭 Let's support ZE:A guyssss
Your Daughter Hana ...they need to get another agency who will promote them properly & i hope they will not disband & please make a comeback as they are a talented group. Please support them.
though the whole video i was like... where is ze:a...... thank u so much for appreciating them. i love that group they were one of my firsts boy groups and i love them cvc
i saw Topp Dogg in the thumbnail and clicked on the video so quickly lmao then i realized that many (or actually all) of these underrated groups are so talented omg
I always try to look for underrated groups and show my support. 100%, Speed, Cross Gene, MyName, 24K and I just recently got into Boys Republic and History. I also bought 2 albums from Snuper, one of those new rookie groups. It makes me sad that they fail to receive any attention. T-T
Too true, it was a tough year and it was when all the groups that had already made it big were becoming even bigger because of massive 2014 hit songs, so competition was rough
+ashly brown of all the boybands debuted in 2014, only Got7 and Winner got recognized.....and it may be because they are from the Big 3 companies (JYP and YG)......
there were sO many groups that i like but my top 15 are AlphaBAT (my ult group i cri), B.I.G, BIGFLO, MADTOWN, HotShot, HIGH4, JJCC, MR. MR., History, 24K, 100%, MYNAME, Boys Republic, Toppdogg and Cross Gene ^^ such a good video btw!
I actually know or heard of all these groups! From this list, I love MR.MR, The Legend, MYNAME, Boys Republic, Topp Dogg, SPEED, Cross Gene and 100%! I really think MR.MR and 100% deserve more attention! Heck, all of them do! Some people don't know what they're missing !
When you love and listen to all these groups your heart just kinda breaks knowing they don't receive even a quarter of the recognition and appreciation that they deserve
Cross gene was my first kpop group i love them so much and there so talented im so sad that theyre underrated also for me like ZE:A,Madtown,Bigstar,Uniq,24k and b.i.g
Was going to comment that over half of these groups are very popular but then remembers that just because I love them doesn't mean everyone does 😂 Nice list though!!! I so agree with you.
Haha same here. I thought: "But I know most of them. They should be a little bit popular, shouldn't they?" hehehe xD I'm destined to love underrated kpop songs
I screamed when i saw ZE:A and MYNAME on here. Although they are probably more well known then the other groups here, they've been in the industry for so long and they deserve so much more love. I've loved them since their debut and i wish people could see their talent! THEY'RE SUCH GREAT GROUPS WHY CAN'T PEOPLE SEE THAT LIKE. I'm also happy ToppDogg, Madtown, UNIQ, 100% and Cross Gene were in here as well because they make great music and are really talented. Hope all the boy groups in the video and so many more get the love and recognition they deserve. Wishing for their success soon!
When I clicked on the video I thought "Cross Gene should be first". But when I saw them 2nd I wondered which group would be first and then boom! It's ZE:A!!! I even got goosebumps!! I forgot them :(
I think ZE:A they deserved more, like they have strong vocals and their songs are like dam nice!!! They have visuals too. Their members are also very fun in variety shows. They seriously deserve more
Any video with cross gene for an intro deserves a like History, 24K, 100%, CROSS GENE why are none of my boys appreciated!?! Its sad I can't find them anywhere except in videos like these
Awwwwwwwww, la mayoría de mis irrelevantes estaban aquí :3 Ahora siento que alguien más piensa igual que yo. Ellos merecen más reconocimiento :c oH MI Speed se disolvieron sin tener la oportunidad de haber dado más de su pontencial :'( POR DIOS, EL #1 ERA ZEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think ZE:A are better off than the others. They're known ironically known for acting and the song you mentioned was kinda popular. But it's no doubt they deserve more. You should check out Kevin's Nasty Nasty
agree with ur ranking especially with ur top3.. no doubt.. my ze:a,, why i feel u were right put them at 1st place is since the debut till now,, their song and choreo so damn good but they havent taste first win yet.. good job
im glad that you put boys republic on this list. they have really awesome and good music but they don't get enough recognition and that makes me so mad. I hope that with their newest comeback they gain the attention and fans they deserve
I feel bad now. I realized that I listen to most of them, but I never got into them. It's just that I usually listen to few songs by them and not try to know the members' name. Or just now some of the members' name but still not get into the group. I need to seriously get into the groups that I just give few listens to. Obviously I like their music so it should be easy to get into them.
toppdogg deserves so much more fans AS WELL AS MADTOWN, CROSS GENE, SPEED, 24K, HISTORY, MADTOWN AND UNIQ okay basically everyone does but those are my faves
OMG Speed! my feels seriously 😢😢😢 They moved from Core Company to MBK hoping for better treatment and promotion but it was no better at all! I hope they don't disband! All their music is so FANTASTIC!
You know the only group that got me into them since I started liking K-Pop was BTS. Yesterday, I found ZE:A on immortal songs and i was amazed, they were the only group besides Bangtan that fascinates me, and only five minutes later I have to find out they already disbanded?! They are so talented and such Sweethearts, I immediately fell In love with them. I'm happy that they are in this list at least because they freaking deserve it.
thanks so much for your compliment for ZE:A!! yes, they are super underrated, it's a pity that the company cannot push/ promote them to a success......
ThePersonWhichWillDie BecauseOfKPop Thank you for loving ZEA the boys are so underrated. They are very sincere to their fans. Please give them more attention.
Great job K-Ville. In a scene so dominated by a few big names (Big Bang, EXO, BTS) so many others are unfairly neglected (Hello SBS Popasia). I don't think you can call yourself a fan of K-Pop unless you find equal enjoyment in the small underdog acts and give them support. Because of their quality track record, I'm looking forward to anything new by 100%, ZE:A and Boyfriend.
I stan 17 of these groups and have heard of the other 13, some of which I have some of their songs but have not officially joined their fandom. I try to give as much love as I can to lesser known groups bc they deserve so much more and have usually have had such a hard time :(guess tis time to stan more
Thank you for adding JJCC, HOTSHOT, MR. MR, Alphabat and The Legend!!! These guys need so much more love. They are awesome. DAAYYMM you included MIB TOO thank you so much. Wow i have loved mib SINCE FOREVER and yes they are awesomeeee
Ze:a is so underrated like and even now with hyungsik, dongjun, and siwan gaining a lot of popularity with acting and kwanghee in variety, it's like people want to ignore the fact that they're from ze:a. And now they've started leaving for the military. It breaks my heart honestly
I guess they are busy in japan? Idk im just guessing, and if they aren't in this list maybe bcos they alr have a quite big fandom and also starshipstan who support each other alot. Its just my opinion. Sorry for my english.
Oh my goodness HOTSHOT is so underrated and so good! Some groups take me a few listens and videos to fall in love but I instantly fell in love with HOTSHOT and their music. They definitely deserve more attention and love. Let's make HOTSHOT great guys and all the other groups that deserve it as well!😊😃

The saddest thing when you know all this underrated groups is the constant fear of them disbanding ;(
true! I'm worried for speed! >~
+Das Cool Same... It's killing me-
chargezuma 😭😭😭😭
I feel these guys too deserve a chance to be on stage
Yah I'm so worried about B.I.g 😭😰
i feel bad for underrates groups. they train so hard and be so excited for the debut but then this happens
I feel the same way!
emmastat7910 what sad is most of the song they produce is FREAKING good
Exactly!! I fell in love with them once I found them!!!
Lots of these boy groups have a ton of talent and deserve more love.
Am I the only one who likes to stan unpopular and underrated groups? Tho I Stan some groups who are popular i really like underrated groups.
Kim Inseonggg me too that feeling when you feel so sory for them and try your best to support them cause they deserve more...
I stan underrated groups more because they deserve and need more love. But the price is that I live in constant fear of my babies disbanding :'(
Kim Inseonggg nope you're not the only one ;)
I have a saying: “underrated groups are the best groups” 😂
i stan some underrated groups
Ugh Toppdogg is so underrated it's so sad. They are so extremely talented, they need more recognition.
+Lyrica Baxter I know right. All of their songs and MV are amazing. What makes them even better is that they write their owns and choreograph their own dances. They are so great and talented, but their company is horrible when it comes to promoting them.

ikr!
+Emilie F I didn't know that! Do all of them contribute?
Barentity Yes but with different things.

+Emilie F Thanks for such a detailed answer! Yes I know Kidoh did some of the producing and it's a shame that he left. I'll watch that video...
Barentity It really is. Him and Gohn did great things for the group but in the end it seems like they just wanted to do different things. Miss Gohn's voice especially though, his vocals are so strong!
ToppDogg ♡
Madtown ♡
Cross Gene ♡
24K ♡
HotShot ♡
Danny Nogueira Also my favs since History disbannded now😭
My friend sometimes calls me "The underrated boygroup lover" and now I see why.
A lot of these groups are among my favourites xD
hahaha me too~ 😂😂
Nika Edward Haha glad i'm not alone ^^
24k IS WAYYYY TOO UNDERRATED !!
I AGREE LIKE THEY ARE PERFECTION
I'm honestly surprised their newest album didn't blow up. That EDM sound is really big in the west right now. It should have put them on the map.
Just Mosier THIS
Just Mosier RIGHT
Just Mosier I 100% agree with you.
the scary moment when you actually know all of these bands already
yeah
+Farisah Faizal that's when u have to rethink ur life choices lol
ikr
The scary moment after the video when you realized you don't have a life and have sold your soul to Asian men
Same I know all of these groups. Kinda scary lol.
i'm a simple girl
i see Topp Dogg
i click
I'm like that too
same cx
Yes my thoughts
ToppKlass represent!
+tacktack1 lol yes 😁👌
These videos break my heart to be honest. It really just puts into perspective how many Kpop groups there really are out there, yet we only have a handful in comparison that everyone knows/loves despite them all being equally as good as the ones who aren't so popular.

Well, it is said 2014 has been the worst year for Kpop industry because of all the scandals and tragedies, so I guess that has something to do with it.
*I made this ranking judging by this criteria:*
*1. Number of comebacks.*
*2. Quality of Music.*
*3. How old the group is.*
*Groups will not be included if:*
*1. They have debuted in 2015/2016. They haven't had to struggle as much as these groups.*
*2. If they have tasted huge success before (AKA Nu'est & U-Kiss).*
+K-Ville Entertainment Great video! Are you thinking about making a top 30 with the most overrated groups as well?
+John Kiddo I could never make that list. Even if I were to think a group is overrated, they would be perfect for someone else. I don't want to put negativity out there. ^-^
High4 have a really famous song with iu
K-Ville Entertainment Yeah thought about that right after I asked you and realized that this was not the best idea :/
I'm glad I read your comment before commenting, because I was thinking if U-KISS would be in this video
Pledis should focus on SEVENTEEN and NU'EST equally....
animegal/fandomgal
agreeeee
animegal/fandomgal Pledis is known for the shittiest management ever.
-_____- hey Now Nuest the most popular group because produce 101, Seventeen debuted with low budget , they are make produce self music, song and coreographed . in Pledis not only have Seventeen . he had A.S, Nuest , Seventeen and Pristin . please don't judge My son because Pledis boss , their work so hard for company ! yeah... pledis must treat Nuest and A.S again with nice treat like their treat SVT , so.. SVT can rest ..
am I the only one that thinks all the boy groups are good af?
you're not alone
Angie Grell Hahaha, I'm glad ;)
+Exo & ME i was thinking in sama way as you..
*same
Watching this video made me do sad :( I don't even stan these groups, but it just doesn't seem fair.. I mean, I don't even know why these groups don't get the recognition that they deserve! The music, dancing, appearance, sets and everything in between was all good! :( Its just not right, and I feel terrible for them...
You Got Infired By A Suga Kookie! ikr! me too.. 😢

Omg i love 24k so mutch😻
Anniken Hopen same😋

Same here 😂😂
Now I'm curious which ones you didn't screenshot ahaha
+Dutch Taehyung Same :,D
thnks for putting Cross Gene and History on this list, both should get way more attention!
damn the fact that most of the groups here already disbanded or are inactive breaks my heart- i stanned almost all of them back then😢
if you really wanna stan some of these groups I recommend:
toppdogg
100%
Myname
and cross gene.
all their tracks have yet to disappoint me.
CROSS GENE IS SO UNDERRATED OH MY GOD IVE LIKED THEM SINCE LA DI DA DI AND IM STILL WAITING FOR THAT RECOGNITION THEY DESERVE
but they were famous in japan i think ..
they are famous in japan and china
but here in the Philippines I think I was the only one cheering on them and even chat them to keep fighting :(
Chriskalhean Breyel Lauresta Now you're not the only one, lol I'm here. I recently stanned Cross Gene, but I already knew them since 2015 (idk why I didn't stan them sooner, I hate myself)
lets continue support our damn hot cross gene they deserved to be notice. fighting CandY
Yess!! Topp Dogg is wayyyy underrated!! I love them so much, they're all so sweet and they have really good songs! I just don't understand how they can be so underrated?
Hedda Aurora they already lost some members especially their main vocals & producer-rapper which is their latest song are sounds so weak compared with their early songs that sounds so powerful, so they lost their popularity because of it they also experiencing a hard times right now because their ex-CEO was stealing their money
dex crimson they never had THAT popularity to lost any tbh
And I think they just wanted to change to a more mature style ;) Also we still have members producing. Actually they are geting more popular now, thought still underrated...
Cross gene are underrated 😢 they are an amazing band and deserve billions of views
I definitely agree about HotShot I wish they have better luck
Same! But it's not to late. We just need to keep supporting them and get the word out!😊😃
YAS I LOVE HOTSHOT
HOTSHOT comeback soon!
same,my babies 😭
their songs are freaking good i even have them in my mp3 music player
I love madtown so much ㅠㅠ
Same
same
same ㅠㅠ
Same
uggghh same
But i see a trend most of the groups here have many members and strong hip hop and r&b influened music style that makes me think perhaps this type of music not popular in Korean but international fans who are more familiar with this type of music can appreciate
Kyra AngelFae that style only worked for bigbang and bts
V-d Z I wonder why tho
I'm i the only one here who loves *BOYS REPUBLIC*??????
I'm a potato Me too!!!!
Me too
Let me tell you, most catchy songs come from these underrated talents.
Miao Xiao YES!!!!
Xiao Miao yesss these are all so good
I stan Madtown, History, High4, Uniq, 24k, Boys Republic, and Cross Gene it makes me so happy to see them acknowledged in this video, great job ❤ I'm definitely gonna check out some of these groups
Of course you had to put your band Cross Gene on here, haha. Where was Boyfriend and Xia?! Thought they should have made the list as well!
Boyfriend! Yes! Bounce was so good :)
that's right! boyfriend has had really great concepts lately
+Brandon Epperson Boyfriend were really popular at one stage, and they still have moderate success in Korea. They're nowhere near as underrated as these groups. As for "Xia," do you mean the solo artist who sings "Flower?" haha
K-Ville Entertainment yes. Loved that song, and he has a really cool style.
+Brandon Epperson XIA is from DBSK (now TVXQ and JYJ), I would say he's far from underrated.
WHY NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT DGNA OMFG IM CRYING
MY BABY
IKR
+ikonspirit I LOVE THEM! they've gone thru so much honestly, especially with their past label and it hurts to see them still struggling T^T
+ikonspirit Mika :(
I know. I actually want them to be recognized.
I'm so sad for them 😢😢 when some work hard and struggle to get that f***ing attention some are too overrated because they're from big company (and their songs are nothing better than these groups' songs) gob bless these boygroups I really like most of them I hope they will get popular :) the important thing is that they need to stay together no matter what
History is so underrated but they're really talented! Really love History
history & 24k❤❤👌👌👌 #kyungjeong
yassssss my two favourite groups! (and yes, I too am a kyungjeong shipper, like who isn't)
Raphy V KYUNGJEONG UGH MY BABES
i wish more people knew and appreciated cross gene
I'm so glad you made this list. The rate at which k-pop groups come and go is alarming, and often it has nothing to do with how good (or the opposite) the groups are. The smaller companies seem to bite off more than they can chew, and lack of funding (ie not promoting properly) plays a very large part as to why groups just disappear into the ether. C-Clown was excellent, and oops, bye bye. Thanks for this list.
ZE:A really need to make a comeback and win an award now. they deserve better after facing all these struggles. if u guys follow their stories u will know how much KWANGHEE, SIWAN, HYUNGSIK, and DONGJUN work to make people know about ZE:A's existence until now. the other members also work hard too but they didnt get enough schedule frm company so people will think that ZE:A is already disbanded. they work hard from the start and until now but never get a chance to win anything. i just hope ZE:A will make a surprise comeback soon b4 their contract expired. ZE:A PLEASE COMEBACK AND WIN I'M BEGGING YOU 😭
Let's support ZE:A guyssss
Your Daughter Hana ...they need to get another agency who will promote them properly & i hope they will not disband & please make a comeback as they are a talented group. Please support them.
Boys' Republic,Cross Gene,TOPP DOGG,MIB,ZE:A and High4 are one of my favorite groups AND WHY DO NETIZENS NOT SEE THEM ARE THEY BLIND OR SOMETHING?
I friggen love Topp Dogg, they are probably up there as my most listened kpop group along with Big Bang but their new song was just meh to me :/
Same^^ I've been a ToppKlass for so long
+sicklullabies I actually love The Beat so much! I'm just sad they lost 3 members :(
I've been ToppKlass since Arario ♥
ZE:A why you guys so underrated? all of you are talented and visual slay, you deserve so much attention😢
though the whole video i was like... where is ze:a......
thank u so much for appreciating them. i love that group they were one of my firsts boy groups and i love them cvc
+1
+nina me to i was wondering
+nina Iknew they are going to be there...But where is A-jax? They have like15 fans too.
i saw Topp Dogg in the thumbnail and clicked on the video so quickly lmao
then i realized that many (or actually all) of these underrated groups are so talented omg
I always try to look for underrated groups and show my support. 100%, Speed, Cross Gene, MyName, 24K and I just recently got into Boys Republic and History. I also bought 2 albums from Snuper, one of those new rookie groups. It makes me sad that they fail to receive any attention. T-T
I'm so happy to see 24K, Speed and ToppDogg on this list!
I just discovered Speed, but I sadly had to find out they already disbanded😢
THE LEGEND.
2014 was the worst time for any group to debut
Too true, it was a tough year and it was when all the groups that had already made it big were becoming even bigger because of massive 2014 hit songs, so competition was rough
+ashly brown of all the boybands debuted in 2014, only Got7 and Winner got recognized.....and it may be because they are from the Big 3 companies (JYP and YG)......
there were sO many groups that i like but my top 15 are AlphaBAT (my ult group i cri), B.I.G, BIGFLO, MADTOWN, HotShot, HIGH4, JJCC, MR. MR., History, 24K, 100%, MYNAME, Boys Republic, Toppdogg and Cross Gene ^^
such a good video btw!
Yeah topp dogg B.I.G hotshot high4 and UNIQ really deserve so more attention
I actually know or heard of all these groups! From this list, I love MR.MR, The Legend, MYNAME, Boys Republic, Topp Dogg, SPEED, Cross Gene and 100%!
I really think MR.MR and 100% deserve more attention! Heck, all of them do!
Some people don't know what they're missing !
When you love and listen to all these groups your heart just kinda breaks knowing they don't receive even a quarter of the recognition and appreciation that they deserve
Cross gene was my first kpop group i love them so much and there so talented im so sad that theyre underrated also for me like ZE:A,Madtown,Bigstar,Uniq,24k and b.i.g
I am a huge huge huge huge fan of Alphabat MYNAME, BIGSTAR, Cross Gene, The Boss, Boys Republic, Topp Dogg, and M.I.B. ♥ ♥ ♥
Was going to comment that over half of these groups are very popular but then remembers that just because I love them doesn't mean everyone does 😂 Nice list though!!! I so agree with you.
Haha same here. I thought: "But I know most of them. They should be a little bit popular, shouldn't they?" hehehe xD I'm destined to love underrated kpop songs
I screamed when i saw ZE:A and MYNAME on here. Although they are probably more well known then the other groups here, they've been in the industry for so long and they deserve so much more love. I've loved them since their debut and i wish people could see their talent! THEY'RE SUCH GREAT GROUPS WHY CAN'T PEOPLE SEE THAT LIKE. I'm also happy ToppDogg, Madtown, UNIQ, 100% and Cross Gene were in here as well because they make great music and are really talented. Hope all the boy groups in the video and so many more get the love and recognition they deserve. Wishing for their success soon!
When I clicked on the video I thought "Cross Gene should be first". But when I saw them 2nd I wondered which group would be first and then boom! It's ZE:A!!! I even got goosebumps!! I forgot them :(
I think ZE:A they deserved more, like they have strong vocals and their songs are like dam nice!!! They have visuals too. Their members are also very fun in variety shows. They seriously deserve more
Annie ponywright I know, but SE didn't di their job, they really suck, uri ZE:A deserve so much more😢
Any video with cross gene for an intro deserves a like
History, 24K, 100%, CROSS GENE why are none of my boys appreciated!?! Its sad I can't find them anywhere except in videos like these
I miss Speed so much 😭😭😭
me too 😭😭😭
Me too :(
Same! I'm really hoping that they haven't disbanded, due to MBK still not confirming it...but it doesn't look good... :(
Drugs are bad!!
In the new Kpop group MVP is someone of speed how i heared
Awwwwwwwww, la mayoría de mis irrelevantes estaban aquí :3 Ahora siento que alguien más piensa igual que yo. Ellos merecen más reconocimiento :c oH MI Speed se disolvieron sin tener la oportunidad de haber dado más de su pontencial :'(
POR DIOS, EL #1 ERA ZEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rise Uniq, rise.!!! EOEO is still my jam, BigStar Moonlight Sonata is perfection. The Legend, JJCC, History rise too.!! Fighting everybody
I think ZE:A are better off than the others. They're known ironically known for acting and the song you mentioned was kinda popular. But it's no doubt they deserve more.
You should check out Kevin's Nasty Nasty
The Legend should be higher. Adfghj. They're super talented ;;
yeah, listen so talented ;;;;;;;
Listen's voice is beautiful
AGREE!!!!
+kagurarom They are! I really like their songs.
+kagurarom agree. None of their mvs reached 1 million views eventhough they're making a non-stop comeback :/
Me: *scrolls through TH-cam*
Me: *sees thumbnail*
Me: *clicks like there's no tomorrow*
I agree with every group on this list. They totally deserve more success
I love Boys Republic and Speed though.. Hope they will hit big. All of them
same :(
agree with ur ranking especially with ur top3.. no doubt.. my ze:a,, why i feel u were right put them at 1st place is since the debut till now,, their song and choreo so damn good but they havent taste first win yet.. good job
I wasn't surprised when I saw ToppDogg and MADTOWN. I agree so much with this!!
im glad that you put boys republic on this list. they have really awesome and good music but they don't get enough recognition and that makes me so mad.
I hope that with their newest comeback they gain the attention and fans they deserve
I agree with you
TOPP DOGG, MY BABIES!!!1!1!1! Favorite kpop band ever.
UNIQ I MISS THEM SO MUCH WHERE IS THEIR COMEBACK ;;
ikr
rumor says they are having comeback at november
Are there any news about them now?😭
I feel bad now. I realized that I listen to most of them, but I never got into them. It's just that I usually listen to few songs by them and not try to know the members' name. Or just now some of the members' name but still not get into the group. I need to seriously get into the groups that I just give few listens to. Obviously I like their music so it should be easy to get into them.
I just wrote down every single one of these and I'm going to check out every single one of them. (Other than the ones I already Stan)
Omg finally a list that acknowledges History!! Love them so much. Wishing they could preform at Kcon this year!!
toppdogg deserves so much more fans AS WELL AS MADTOWN, CROSS GENE, SPEED, 24K, HISTORY, MADTOWN AND UNIQ okay basically everyone does but those are my faves
OMG Speed! my feels seriously 😢😢😢 They moved from Core Company to MBK hoping for better treatment and promotion but it was no better at all! I hope they don't disband! All their music is so FANTASTIC!
You know the only group that got me into them since I started liking K-Pop was BTS. Yesterday, I found ZE:A on immortal songs and i was amazed, they were the only group besides Bangtan that fascinates me, and only five minutes later I have to find out they already disbanded?! They are so talented and such Sweethearts, I immediately fell In love with them. I'm happy that they are in this list at least because they freaking deserve it.
no they're not disbanded. just the contract will expired in december
thanks so much for your compliment for ZE:A!! yes, they are super underrated, it's a pity that the company cannot push/ promote them to a success......
ThePersonWhichWillDie BecauseOfKPop no ZE:A not disband, pls always stan ZE:A. I know they too underrated bc SE really suck
ThePersonWhichWillDie BecauseOfKPop they haven't disbanded!
ThePersonWhichWillDie BecauseOfKPop Thank you for loving ZEA the boys are so underrated. They are very sincere to their fans. Please give them more attention.
I swear y'all are the best Cross Gene stans 💕💕💕
Great job K-Ville. In a scene so dominated by a few big names (Big Bang, EXO, BTS) so many others are unfairly neglected (Hello SBS Popasia). I don't think you can call yourself a fan of K-Pop unless you find equal enjoyment in the small underdog acts and give them support. Because of their quality track record, I'm looking forward to anything new by 100%, ZE:A and Boyfriend.
You can't like all the f*cking K-pop groups, and support someone you don't like. I'm a 24u and I support 24k, but I just can't enjoy K-Much music.
Garry Williams ZE:A 💞💕💕
Garry Williams just found ZE:A they are fucking awesome
I only like Bts
I stan 17 of these groups and have heard of the other 13, some of which I have some of their songs but have not officially joined their fandom. I try to give as much love as I can to lesser known groups bc they deserve so much more and have usually have had such a hard time :(guess tis time to stan more
LU:KUS are so underrated it's sad :( Love them!
+Sniffles SAMMMEUUUUU
SPEED, Bigstar and HISTORY are my favourite. all of their songs are DA BOMB
I really like MYNAME, SPEED and ZE:A
I'm so proud to have over 20 of these songs on my playlist!!! Some of these bands are my absolute favorites
YESSSSS MYNAME AND THE LEGEND MA BOYSSSSS
Thank you for adding JJCC, HOTSHOT, MR. MR, Alphabat and The Legend!!! These guys need so much more love. They are awesome. DAAYYMM you included MIB TOO thank you so much. Wow i have loved mib SINCE FOREVER and yes they are awesomeeee
NU'EST is so underrated 💔💔 I know that they were famous in the past but still they are underrated and that breaks my heart v💔
Ze:a is so underrated like and even now with hyungsik, dongjun, and siwan gaining a lot of popularity with acting and kwanghee in variety, it's like people want to ignore the fact that they're from ze:a. And now they've started leaving for the military. It breaks my heart honestly
boyfriend is also underrated they need more appreciation
Totally agree!
they used to be soooo popular~ i don't even know what happened... ㅠㅠ
+clementinevalentine Other groups like EXO debuted. That happened :p Lol.
I guess they are busy in japan? Idk im just guessing, and if they aren't in this list maybe bcos they alr have a quite big fandom and also starshipstan who support each other alot. Its just my opinion. Sorry for my english.
+clementinevalentine Nope xD
History, UNIQ, Madtown, Toppdogg, and 24K. I freaking love them
Topp Dogg.
SPEED (T^T) I really love them! So sad bc they are underrated. Their songs and the choreo are soooooo good (T-T)MADTOWN too *cries*
Before I even watched this video I was just like I bet ZE:A will be first......
+1
+Irwin Theloma same! it hurts my heart............. theyre so good but yeahh :((
+Irwin Theloma They may be underrated where you life. But they were a total hype in korea..
they might be underrated music wise but they are very popular otherwise. So just be happy even I think about that whenever I feel like its unfair :)
ZEA maybe not popular with they song but they popular because in show and acting..
I laughed when Play With Me by Cross Gene played, and then i started crying
Oh my goodness HOTSHOT is so underrated and so good! Some groups take me a few listens and videos to fall in love but I instantly fell in love with HOTSHOT and their music. They definitely deserve more attention and love. Let's make HOTSHOT great guys and all the other groups that deserve it as well!😊😃
AGREED
yuss,they're all so talented and handsome,they deserve all the love!
IT MAKES MY HEART SO HAPPY TO SEE THAT UNIQ ARE ON HERE!!
THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY DAY **cries with joy**
They deserve so much more ;-;
F.Cuz is so underrated that I don't see any comments about them they have so much talent and there music is amazing 💔💕
thank you for included alphabat & madtown! they both are my top fav groups, i like them so damn much. please give them lots of loves!
