10 Kpop Songs That Deserved to Go Viral (But Didn't)

Viral music videos are a universal delight - from catchy tunes and amusing visuals to awe-inspiring choreography; they have an irresistible power to capture our attention and captivate us. However, what about those hidden gems that never got the attention they deserved? Here are ten underrated songs that had all the potential to go viral but sadly remained undiscovered by mainstream audiences.

Miss You by Tiny-G

The simple chorus choreography, memorable outfits (particularly the high-rise socks), along with the addictingly catchy song could have made this song a big hit.


TMI by Hot Place

It's really a mystery the song didn't go viral.  The song is fantastic with nostalgic first, second, and third-gen vibes, the video is funny and quirky, and there is memorable choreography during the dance break.

Hakuna Matata - Walwari

The clubhouse EDM sound reminiscent of early 2010s songs. The campiness of the music video, and the addicting chorus make this seem like the perfect type of song to go viral.

Angry by LPG

With sampling becoming a trend in Kpop, LPG were ahead of the game with their We No Speak Americano chorus. With the super simple but amusing choreography during this sample, it's surprising the dance didn't become a trend in Korea.

Skip by Tahiti

Before Momoland's Bboom Bboom, there was Skip by Tahiti with an addicting saxophone chorus accompanied by a fun dance.

Open The Door by Wonder Boyz

The first boy group on this list. Their vocal tone is reminiscent of trot singers, and the video is very quirky and silly. This song actually did become a big viral hit in Korea when Im Chang Jung remade it a year later.

I Mean by Uni.T

Yet another straightforward but memorable chorus choreography that anyone can easily perform.  Brave Brothers is a master at writing songs with addicting choruses. 

Love Is Energy by Chi Chi

The hand choreography during the chorus is very visually appealing, and the song is very high quality.

Don't Tease Me! by SPEED

There really hasn't been a choreography this dangerous in Kpop ever.  They're flipping around all over the place!  Unlike some of the other songs on this list, I wouldn't really want to attempt this, but it is fun to watch.  Not to mention the song is addicting as well.

Limbo by Nature

When the song was released, fans loved the limbo choreography during the chorus as well as the nostalgic 2nd gen cinematography.  However it didn't spread in a huge way beyond the fandom.

What are some songs that you wished went viral or could have seen going viral?
