5 K-Pop Songs That “Flopped” But Deserved More Recognition According To Reddit Users

So many great songs were released in 2018…

The K-Pop industry is always filled with new releases from new groups and older ones alike so, of course, it is difficult for any soloist or group to get the recognition they deserve for the work that they put into their music. Groups from more prominent companies or already established fanbases are much more likely to have successful sales, leading to a bigger budget for comebacks, which starts a repetitive cycle, keeping some groups overlooked.
