While most idols can naturally place themselves on the bias list, some however are sadly overshadowed for certain reasons. Stans online included factors such as the popularity level inside their respective groups, their presence in social media, standards, and many more.
Here are 7 underappreciated K-pop idols in the music industry
1. ITZY Chaeryoung
According to fans, Chaeryoung of ITZY was underappreciated to an extent. They elaborated how unfair it was for Chaeryoung to experience this onslaught despite having the most exposure than the other four members.
Chaeryoung once joined Mnet and JYPE's survival program "SIXTEEN," which formed the global girl group TWICE. However, even having failed the program, Chaeryoung still worked hard and eventually debuted in JYPE's fourth-gen representative girl group ITZY.
2. GOT7 Youngjae
GOT7's main vocalist Youngjae was also included in the discussion. According to netizens, there were instances where people have been sleeping on Youngjae's amazing vocals.
3. Kep1er Mashiro
Mashiro of Kep1er was mentioned because of how the idol is underappreciated in the K-pop industry in terms of buzz. They also expressed how shameful it was for Mashiro to receive this less-than-fortunate feedback despite being stable and energetic on her performances.
4. SHINee Minho
The inclusion of SHINee member Minho is because of his captivating visuals. Netizens expressed how unfair it was for people to consider good-looking idols as less talented, and how an idol's all-rounder value is determined by that one aspect alone.
Meanwhile, they defended that Minho is more than SHINee's visual, as he also a talented performer and good role model, capable of shining on his own way.
5. MAMAMOO Wheein
Netizens claimed that Wheein is underappreciated because of her music releases, which are more laid-back compared to the other members. Her music style caters more domestically than internationally.
Nevertheless, everyone knows how much the MooMoo fandom loves all four MAMAMOO members and are OT4.
6. BLACKPINK Rosé
Rosé's inclusion on this list can be debatable since she's part of the K-pop sensation BLACKPINK. But stans included her because of how much her efforts are overlooked compared to the other members.
7. NewJeans Hyein
Hyein's inclusion came as a shocker, given that she's part of the rising rookie group NewJeans, who won fans on both local and foreign areas.
Stans expressed that the maknae's addition is because of how many people don't have her as their bias. Time will only tell, since NewJeans members have a clear future ahead of them.
