I also apologise if I make any mistakes, I’m only human & this sis going to be a long list! Please do correct me if you see anything wrong.

12DAL
(female duo)

Technically more K-indie but they deserve way more recognition. Their vocals are top tier & they release music really consistently!

1415
(Male duo)

Again K-indie & I think they have more recognition within Korea but they’re criminally underrated by international fans

ARIAZ
(Girl group)

They had an incredible debut in 2019 but no comeback in 10 months! I’m really worried about them :(

At least they’re still v active on twitter @official_ARIAZ

BUDY
(female soloist)

She’s an ex member of Girls Girls, and now makes really cool & unique music solo music

CHAHEE
(female soloist)

She’s an ex member of Melody Day & just made her solo debut this year

CHERRY COKE
(female soloist)

I wouldn’t really class her as a mainstream Kpop artist but I think she deserves so much more recognition nonetheless!

CHU HWA JEONG
(Female soloist)

Ex member of D.Holic who debuted as a soloist in 2019

CLASSMATE
(Boy group)

More of an indie group but vocal kings!

CROSSGENE
(Boy group)

They debut in 2012 and have been active until 2018. Some members are currently enlisted and others have left the company but not the group so they’re currently “on hold/hiatus”.

They’ve been releasing some solo music tho!

DALsooobin
(Female soloist)

A member of Dalshabet (they haven’t disbanded but they’re not really active due to the members being under different companies now)

DREAMNOTE
(Girl group)

Debut in 2018, they’ve gained more traction with their most recent comeback but I’d still call them pretty underrated

EYEDI
(Female soloist)

She debut in 2016 and was a contestant on Mixnine. Her most recent releases in particular have been really under appreciated

FANXY RED
(Girl group)

They’re a Chinese gg (and redebut of Acrush) but debut in Korea too. Their concept is a girl group that dresses androgynous or tomboyish.

They’ve been pretty inactive since debut except for Marco’s solo music

FAVORITE
(Girl group)

An underrated group that’s (thankfully) getting more attention these days, but they could always do with more so check them out!

FLY WITH ME
(Girl group)

They’re mainly a dance group but they made their official debut in 2019. Sadly there’s no official MV or even audio :(

FreeXKidd
(Male soloist)

More K-HipHop but I like his music a lot & I think even within the KHH fandom he’s underrated, so check him out~

GEEGU
(Girl group)

Originally debut as Gate9 in 2017 and rebranded as GeeGu in 2019, but they haven’t had any comeback since and I’m so worried about them :(((

GIRLKIND
(Girl group)

All their MVs are so low budget but their songs are bops, so please support them!

Girls2000/Little Princess Project
(Girl group)

Debut in 2020 & member Ban Seolhee debut as a soloist earlier this year too (she’s said to be an ex member now by some sources but I can’t find confirmation anywhere)

G-MOST
(Boy group)

They’re a Kpop group but mainly active in Japan, super underrated but they do post a lot of content on youtube!

G-REYISH
(Girl group)

They haven’t made a comeback in over a year, another group I’m very worried about...
