One of my favourite things about taking requests on Twitch every week is that I get to discover so many incredible songs that I would have never discovered on my own. Y'all know SO MANY hidden gems and I think it's time to share!

This Saturday evening, I'll be taking recommendations from the chat and checking out ONLY smaller or lesser known groups/artists/songs. It's seriously a crime that more people don't know about some of the fantastic music, vocalists & dancers that are out there so let's share and help each other expand our libraries!

After our regular stream in the afternoon (checking out new releases & general requests), we'll be doing our Nugu Group Night at 7pm EST! Come join us and give me your best recommendations!!!

Omega X- they're getting ready to do a US tour too! Partial group on tour due to enlistment but still worth the time, I promise!

Alice

AHOF is kinda underrated and kinda very successful, its weird. ALD1 and Evnne are underrated, Imo.

stacie yuh

ily:1 !!! i miss my girls so much 😭😭

8Turn!!

sorry for the long ass comment but i have so much lol for kpop (some of these arent necessarily considered nugu but they’re not as popular as they should be imo): - sf9: i feel like they have a fanbase but they are heavily overlooked and are often left out of the 3rd gen conversation. songs i’d recommend most is “easy love” & “love no. 5” - wooah: i feel like they had so much attention when they first debuted and idk what happened but i love their music. very girly and feel good, quintessential kpop girl group but i think they are such talented performers. songs i’d recommend: “bad girl” & “blush” - kwon eunbi: i feel like out of all the izone girls who re-debuted she is criminally underrated (along with chaeyeon). she feels like chungha’s daughter for me personally i really feel like she could be so big. i do think she has a solid enough fanbase in korea but she doesnt do many overseas stuff which sucks. songs i’d recommend: i wann say glitch but everyone says glitch (it genuinely is so good though). so i will say “croquis” & “flash” - wonho: hear me out i know people TALK about wonho a lot but it’s always his physical appearance and not many know how insane he is as a writer and producer and vocalist. plus he barely cracks any charts or streams well and his music is criminally underrated. songs i’d recommend: “devil” & “with you” & “on & on” okay non-kpop rq: - hemlocke springs: very campy quirky black girl vibes that i love. her music is what i listen to when i either wanna pick up my spirits or just completely shut my brain off. songs i’d recommend: “gimme all ur luv” & “moses” - third story: they dont make music anymore together which is so tragic but they are so SOULFUL and talented. songs i’d recommend: “g train” & “i’m coming round” - HRM (hannah mrozak): idk if you’ve heard of citizen queen but she was in the og lineup before leaving. their group was kind of screwed over so they are a trio now but my girl hannah i have been supporting her since then. she is just now able to finally get her music off the ground and her ep should be out soon. her music is touching bc she writed about grief with the loss of her brother very young + her sexuality/love/heartbreak + the industry. songs i’d recommend: “sleep forever” (about her brother) & “rewind” (her newest song)

Sorry for the spam but I love nugu artists lmao so here’s a great list of girl groups! Nature, ADYA, BUGABOO, mimiirose, Kandis, BERRYGOOD, BEWAVE, Rocket Punch, Young Posse, WOOAH, Pink Fantasy, and CLASSY!

✨ Kendra ✨

I feel like lots of people know BTOB but they’re not as popular as a lot of other groups. They definitely need more love. And SF9! I recommend one of their newer songs, Superconductor. It’s so good!

Paula Becker

KARD (cause they deserved so much better) and Young Posse.

stephanie

lapillus, classy, pristin, brave girls, h1-key and miiimiiirose especially worth checking out their debut song 'rose'

Michelle

DKZ and KNK 🥺 tho DKZ disbanded and some members left KNK and there’s no comeback now

Michelle

also UNIQ with Wang Yibo, tho they disbanded (i think)

Kev Rom

I'm going to go with Cherry Bullet!

sammi

KARD

Jane

Hey! 👋🏿 your post says Saturday but the image says Friday. Just checking And I would love to see more attention on UAU, the subunit from Dreamcatcher. I think their sound is more defined with their second EP released this month. And as veterans in this game, chef’s kiss 💋 performances

Sandra

There are so many Nugu groups… unfortunately a lot are now disbanded: My favorites: Wooah, H1-key, Ichillin, Class:y, Limelight (now called Madein, awful company but amazing music)

 Other groups worth to mention: - Still active: X:in, Primrose, Secret number, Lightsum, Queenz eye, Black Swan, VVUP, Bewave, Craxy - Disbanded: Cherry Bullet, Rocket Punch, Lapillus, Alice, Tri.be, ILY:1, Mimiirose

noa violet

purple kiss!! their disbandment was so sad😔

Gaia Piazza

Okay I leave mine too... Oneus, Kard, SF9

Roby

WJSN , Class:y , ONE PACT

Carl Dungca

I have to nominate the "mochi-loving gorilla" himself, The Asiansoul, Mr. Park Jin-young, who is also the headline artist and singer/producer of this year's Waterbomb festival official theme song, "Wet." Hey, you did say "underrated," not just "unknown." I get the sense that most young western k-pop fans mostly only know his performing from "lowlight"/meme clip reels and especially that admittedly rough Blue Dragon performance. But then once they hear his annual single, they begrudgingly admit to enjoying the song. While I know you have an appreciation of him as a producer and business mogul, I haven't attended enough of your streams to know if you've actually gotten around to listening to his music.

Carl Dungca

But for something more recent, I've gotta +1 woo!ah! as a group who really shouldn't have flown as under the radar as they had.

Moonlight Is A Mixer

most groups that came out of the first season of boys planet tbh 😭 evnne, one pact, tiot, ampers&one, nine.i (technically didn't come out of boys planet bc they debuted before but they have boys planet contestants) edit: idk how I forgot but I also recommend ciipher, the group has both tag from one pact and keita from evnne

Chimchim

Black Swan, but I blame their company not promoting them properly and not giving them more consistent comebacks.

Mimi

a super underrated group that recently took over SK is Rescene! they definitely deserve more love internationally though🥺 I recommend (YoYo, In my lotion, Uh Uh, Pretty Girl)!

Luthor

Pentagon 😭

iz1yoon

Rescene!!! They’ve got a top tier discography and so much talent. They are actually kinda blowing up in Korea right now but internationally they are still kinda unknown, so I hope you check out a few tracks from them. I know you’ve already checked out a couple songs from them so I’ll recommend some songs I think you haven’t seen yet. Bloom, Crash, In My Lotion, and their newest song Pretty Girl which is a remake of a popular song from the girl group Kara from 2008. This song just got them their first win with a perfect score on a music show, being the first girl group to achieve this and overall the third group to achieve this after BTS and WannaOne. Some might say they’re not nugu anymore because of all their popularity in Korea right now but they are still barely known internationally, so I hope you do check them out some more 🤞

iz1yoon

💯💯 I really hope they get more love internationally, especially with all the love they’re getting from SK right now. No one should miss out on their top tier discography!! 🙏🙏

wooziverse

TO1 before they disbanded was genuinely one of the best groups ive ever stanned ( minus the one cultural appropriator who practically destroyed the group after that kcon performance🤢 )

BECK

slightly underrated? AMPERS&ONE. COMPLETELY UNDERRATED? n.SSign, WHIB, POW

BECK

can't forget ONEUS, my boys deserve more LOVE!! (please, please, PLEASE check out IKUK by ONEUS if you haven't already. genuinely can't believe how little attention that song got!)

Candice Blair

NEXZ is my favorite underrated artist. 2am is also an oldie but goodie.

RED VELVET

gwsn, wjsn, ariaz[SOOO GOOD] kandis, rocket punch, wooah, rescene[not nugu but very good

Hunter-Teri

i love them :(( they get booked here and there for some festivals but it’s like how long are they gonna have to perform karma for ???

Khadija RiVERSE

Ahhh! I didn't even realize! Thanks for pointing that out! And YES! We had UAU on the wheel last week but I haven't seen them yet. I get what you mean about being nugu but also having the performance experience of veterans in the game... I'm sure it's SO good!

Khadija RiVERSE

Screaming. You know what? You're so right! He isn't unknown by any means, but he IS underrated! When I say I unironically love that man, I mean it. As much as he's soooo cringe-worthy in so many ways 😅 he writes and produces GREAT music and he understands the industry so well, he knows what will be a hit!
