Brilliant K-Pop Sub-Units That Make Us Want More
If
you're unfamiliar with the term, a sub-unit is a smaller group of idols from an
already-existing group who collaborate to create music and content, typically
consisting of a pair, triad, or more. Sub-units are a crucial component of
K-pop since they give the members the opportunity to stray from their typical
image and explore new artistic directions. Here are only a few of the top
components from various teams; they're all so fantastic that we want more!
1.
Red Velvet’s Irene & Seulgi
Irene
and Seulgi, the two eldest members of Red Velvet, completely took over the
internet when they collaborated to make their first mini album, and
"Monster" is without a doubt their finest work. The choreography is absolutely
captivating, and it's sleek and hip with a slightly eerie twist. A team for the
ages, this pair!
2.
SEVENTEEN’s BSS (BooSeokSoon)
This
group, which bears the names Seungkwan, DK, and Hoshi from SEVENTEEN, is
comprised of amazing musicians as well as comic geniuses. BooSeokSoon has only
had one song released to now, but perhaps more are on the way. Keep an eye out
since SEVENTEEN produces a lot of sub-unit stuff!
3.
WJSN THE BLACK
The
second sub-unit of WJSN, THE BLACK, has four members and focuses on a smoother,
sexier sound. Their debut title tune is "Easy," but the beat
attracted listeners straight away. Future releases from this sub-unit are
eagerly anticipated by the public!
4.
EXO-CBX
The
first of two EXO sub-units, EXO-CBX, made its debut in 2016. EXO's Chen,
Baekhyun, and Xiumin are all singers first and foremost, therefore their vocals
are consistently strong in all of their albums. But the group members also rose
to the occasion by tackling rap lines, and they killed it!
5.
Oh!GG
Although
Oh!GG hasn't released anything in a while, fans are still eager for new music.
Five members of the illustrious female group Girls' Generation make up this
group, which has done a masterful job of bringing the nostalgia of the 2000s
into the modern day. Fans eagerly anticipate "Lil' Touch" and the
band's next release.
6.
Stray Kids’ 3RACHA
Three
of the primary self-producing members of Stray Kids make up 3RACHA, which
specialises in rap-heavy tracks that tap into the hip-hop side of the group.
They have the sub-unit down pat because they have been collaborating on songs
since before Stray Kids made their debut. This unit is perfect for you if you
enjoy hip-hop-inspired sounds!
7.
OH MY GIRL BANHANA
OMG,
girl Fans are eager to hear more from the Oh My Girl sub-unit BANHANA because
they have an unapologetically sugary, bubblegum sound that is becoming
increasingly rare in K-pop. The humorous song "Banana Allergy Monkey"
has a sound that is almost video game-like. There's no doubt that it's special.
8. JJ Project
JB and Jinyoung, members of GOT7's first sub-unit, make up the duo known as JJ Project. Before the group's debut, the two had collaborated before, thus it makes sense that the title track of their album "Verse #2," "Tomorrow, Today," has a very relaxing, nostalgic air. Fans eagerly anticipate hearing more from yet another legendary pair!
