I saw Vivarevolution do this and there are just so many good kpop songs out there that needs recognition, so I decided "hey, that's something I can do!". 

So - hello, welcome! 

My name is Minji, I'm a shawol and an EXO-L and I listen to too much kpop. 

Disclaimer: This is just kpop songs I think deserve more recognition, but idk if "underrated" is the right word. Don't kill me, haha. Just listen to good music. 

If We Love Again - EXO Chen & Chanyeol

This is a cover but it's so beautiful. I'm probably the only person in this damn world who think Chen and Chanyeol's voices go really well together. This cover is a strong reason why I believe that. It's just super beautiful. It's so full of emotions too. 

I haven't even listened to the original because I just really love the acoustic version EXO did.

I hope you give it a chance, whether you like EXO or not. 

Here I Am - 4MEN & Mi

This song almost always makes me cry. It has so much emotion embedded in it and 4Men and Mi are outstanding vocalists. I know it's an OST but it's one of those OST's I'll never stop listen to. 

It's just ... damn. 

Nothing's Over - INFINITE

Okay, so this may not be underrated per se, but it seems it has been forgotten in the new wave and that's a shame because this song is really a gem. Give it more love, give it all the love it deserves because it can never get enough.

I'm pretty sure it's a love song but I haven't looked up the lyrics and I'm never going to because the mood of the song and the catchy "nothing's over" represents more than just love towards another human being. It represents love towards life and I don't want that spoiled. Inspirits should tell me if it's just a love song, haha. <3 

Guys, love this song more. 

Miracle - Super Junior

Let's stay with the old just for a second. By now you have probably figured out my style, haha, but Miracle is my favourite SJ song so for that reason, I believe people should at least give it a listen. Don't let the old songs die out just because they're old. Yes, the quality of the mv but the song is so cute. 

Apparently NCT Dream has covered this song (I was not aware) which just goes to show how lovely it is. :3

Teenager - Jung Joon Young

​​​​​​​

Sometimes, while watching 2D1N, I forget that Joonyoung is a musician. And while Drug Restaurant has really good music, his solo work is just ... incredible. Teenager is one of those that stands out for me. It's an amazing song and I wish people would listen to it more. 

Listen to it all the time, lol. 

Just kidding, but just - appreciate his music too. Joonyoung has a special voice not often heard in kpop, I believe, and because his music is more k-rock, I guess it isn't anywhere near as popular as some of the other genres. Even then, his voice is just so captivating. Teenager is so underrated, guys. 

I don't know how popular he is domestically and I have a feeling he's more popular as a member of 2D1N but who cares - stop sleeping on his music. <3

And this is it for now. I'll be back with a part 2 soon! 

Have fun. <3
