We are blessed with new talent in the K-Pop industry almost every day. This is one of the best parts of being a K-Pop fan! You get to enjoy new groups with cool concepts and new music continuously. However, it's important to appreciate the artists already active in the industry who might be going underappreciated, too. You might feel like it's hard to keep up with all of the groups, but we've got you covered!
We are back with our selection of underappreciated K-Pop artists we'd like to get more recognition in the new year! For 2024, we truly hope to see these artists get some much-deserved spotlight

In 2023, we selected artists such as Weki Meki, WOODZ, DKB, PURPLE KISS, OnlyOneOf, E'LAST, BAE173, PIXY, DKZ, and TO1.

Note: This list is in random order and is not a ranking.
1. Lapillus
Lapillus' Twitter
Lapillus is a group that debuted in 2022.
Known for their killer choreography and catchy music, Lapillus is the first group on our list that we hope will get more recognition in 2024. The members have not only been praised for their bright and charismatic personalities but also for their talent as shining vocalists, dancers, and rappers. Many fans are hoping that Lapillus' stage presence will be appreciated on the main stage of the K-Pop industry this year as they deserve the special limelight.

2. CIX
CIX's Twitter
CIX is a group that debuted in 2019.
Whilst they've been in the K-Pop game for a while, they are one of those groups that makes you scratch your head as they are overwhelmingly talented yet somehow still go underappreciated. Their discography speaks for itself and the sheer magnetic charm that they have when they perform on stage does the same. CIX has been stealing the hearts of many since its debut. However, we think it's about time that they steal the hearts of the entire K-Pop fandom as their dedication to their craft truly entitles them to. This group deserves all of the spotlight and more.

3. BOYNEXTDOOR
BOYNEXTDOOR's Twitter
BOYNEXTDOOR is a group that debuted in 2023.
Whilst BOYNEXTDOOR is from a sub-label of a huge company and has a popular mentor/CEO, they are still one of the groups that can honestly use a boost in recognition. The group has yet to release a skippable song and yet many are still sleeping on their golden discography. Once people get to listen to their music, they will ask themselves why they hadn't added BOYNEXTDOOR to their stan list much sooner. There is no doubt about this.
Check out BOYNEXTDOOR's '뭣 같아 (But Sometimes)' music video here.
4. tripleS
tripleS' Twitter
tripleS is a group that debuted officially in 2023 although they were quite active before.
tripleS has been one of the most innovative K-Pop groups we have seen in the industry as of late. Not only is the group's concept unique and keeping K-Pop fans on their toes/hyped with anticipation, but their music is so soothing to the ear, too. With their praiseworthy discography and all-rounder skills, this group lacks very little. Whilst the group has been steadily gaining attention, we predict that 2024 will be a big year for this group where they will become even bigger stars thanks to their dedication.
Check out tripleS' music video for 'Rising' here.
5. H1-KEY
H1-KEY's Twitter
H1-KEY is a group that debuted in 2022.
It seems that every time we write about H1-KEY, we have to praise their incredible lyricism and vocal talent. But what can we do? They're just that overwhelmingly talented that we need to emphasize their skills. H1-KEY has some of the best empowering songs that will leave you feeling like you can conquer the day and like a better version of yourself. Them getting more recognition is not just about more people discovering their talent, but also for the greater good of K-Pop fans who deserve to be blessed by their message.
Check out H1-KEY's music video for 'SEOUL (Such a Beautiful City)' here.
6. ATBO
ATBO's Twitter
ATBO is a group that debuted in 2022.
ATBO has one of the most slept-on discographies in K-Pop. Their music is of top quality and the kind that you will add to your playlist instantly upon hearing it. ATBO is especially great at performing their vibey music in a way that makes you want to dance along with them. This is one of their biggest performance charms. Not only do you get immersed in their performances but they make you want to join their bright energy, too.
Check out ATBO's music video for 'Must Have Love' here.
7. JUST B
JUST B's Twitter
JUST B is a group that debuted in 2021.
This group is known for being able to pull off versatile sounds and concepts but still keeping an admirable consistency. They are known for their strong and energetic persona which has captured the attention of many, especially during performances such as MAMA. Many of their fans have described them as a hidden gem in the industry that has huge potential to be the next big thing. Once people start listening to them, it will be a matter of time before they stan.
Check out JUST B's music video for 'MEDUSA' here.
8. VANNER
VANNER's Twitter
VANNER is a group that debuted in 2019.
Whilst this group won over the hearts of many during their time on the survival show "PEAK TIME", we need to give them more of their hard-earned flowers. Whilst their inspiring background is one thing to consider, you can't deny their level of talent. They have amazing energy, are captivating performers, have overwhelming passion, and their rap and vocal skills can't be ignored either. We hope that more and more people discover their charms as soon as possible.
Check out VANNER's music video for 'PERFORMER' here.
9. YOUNG POSSE
YOUNG POSSE's Twitter
YOUNG POSSE is a group that debuted in 2023.
This group gained a lot of spotlight for their debut song as it embodied the not-too-serious essence that once was the biggest appeal of K-Pop. However, some could not appreciate the sentiment. Despite this, YOUNG POSSE's willingness to be creative has given them an appeal that is hard not to fall for in the eyes of many people. Many are looking forward to seeing more of their quirkiness in the future and hoping that this can be the driving force of them getting some more merited spotlight.
Check out YOUNG POSSE's music video for 'MACARONI CHEESE' here.
10. NINE.i
NINE.i's Twitter
NINE.i is a group that debuted in 2022.
NINE.i has already been deemed a 'complete package' group thanks to their consistently good music, incredible production skills, and the carefree enchanting nature of the members themselves. They are the kind of idols who ease your worries as you stan them. It boggles the mind how this group has yet to get the buzz that they deserve, especially considering that their musical color is so one-of-a-kind.
Check out NINE.i's music video for 'NEVERLAND' here.
Do you have any other K-Pop groups that you think deserve more spotlight and recognition in 2024?
