6 Underrated Girl Groups To Listen To

Every K-pop stan is aware of the top girl groups like Red Velvet, Twice, Blackpink, etc. As much as people love them, they often cast a shadow on smaller girl groups. To honor these underrated girl groups, here are some that are worth looking into.

Fromis_9:

Fromis_9 is a group you’ve probably heard of because of the TikTok edits using their hit song “DM.” While this song may be catchy and have great vocals, they have plenty of other amazing songs to listen to, such as “Stay This Way,” “#wishlist,” and “Glass Shoes.” Even though this group is semi-popular, they are still underrated and deserve a listen.

Rocket Punch:

The fourth-gen group, Rocket Punch, debuted in 2019 with “BIM BAM BUM.” Their debut song consists of bright colors, super upbeat music, and strong vocals, and totally deserves a stream or two. Each of their title tracks has a different style of music they’re experimenting with, so they cover a variety of different sounds. This strategy has proven to be successful because their song “Bouncy” shows a techno-pop vibe, while “Ring Ring” has an 80s synth sound to it.

TripleS:

TripleS recently debuted and has gained some popularity from their debut song, but they totally deserve more hype. Their debut song “Rising” has a funky, upbeat sound and is perfect for exercising and dancing around. The b-sides on their debut album match the funky fresh beat that is often seen in other fourth gen groups. Their other title tracks follow this theme as well, so if you’re on the hunt for new, fresh music, this group is perfect for you.

Orange Caramel:

Our fourth group, Orange Caramel, is a little different from the rest because they are a sub-group. While people know their hit song “Catallena,” most haven’t heard of anything else from them. They have almost as many songs as their full group, After School. Their music mirrors Trot music and has many quirky sounds. Their songs “Shanghai Romance” and “Mr Copycat” are wonderful driving songs due to their quick beats and catchy choruses. Even though this group may have some popularity, their lesser-known songs certainly live up to the hype of their biggest hit and deserve more love.

Bol4:

Like our previous group, Bolbbalgan4 is a duo that brings a whole new vibe to the K-pop scene. This duo’s music has a melodic, relaxing, ballad feel to it. Their songs “Some” and “Galaxy” are perfect for karaoke if serenading someone is on the table. “Hard To Love” is a great choice for someone who needs to sing a slow sad ballad and cry their heart out. All of their songs are perfect for singing due to their soft vocals and angelic choruses, so if you’re looking for a group to sing along to, this group is perfect for you.

Purple Kiss:

Last but not least, in this list of underrated girl groups, is Purple Kiss. Their most recent comeback gained them more popularity due to its mature and sexy sound. Their album ‘Cabin Fever’ has a wide range of styles that it covers. “Intro: Save Me” and “Sweet Juice” have a sinister, sexy feel to them, while “agit” has an upbeat, pop vibe. This group covers a wide range of sound profiles, so there is always a song for someone to listen to no matter their preference.
