There are many shining stars in the K-Pop industry who have proven themselves to be fashion icons, multi-talented aces, and even potential actors or actresses. But with an average of at least 100 groups debuting every year, it’s undoubtedly difficult to keep track of everyone.
It takes a lot to discern which freshly debuted idols are worth keeping tabs on. There are many who remain criminally underrated despite their abilities, which is what we hope to remedy today. Here are six female rookies you might want to be on the lookout for.
1. NMIXX’s Lily
Previously a competitor in the reality television show “K-Pop Star 4,” Lily went on to be signed to JYP Entertainment where she trained for a whopping six and a half years before debuting in NMIXX. Since her days on the show, she’s been known for her clear and full-bodied vocals, which many fans have said is refreshing to see among JYPE artists. Her qualifying video shows off her playful demeanor and stable voice.
2. H1-KEY’s Riina
Prior to debuting, Riina was actually in “Produce 48”! She would go on to train for two years and five months before becoming a part of H1-KEY. Back when she was a “Produce” contender, she was often praised for her girl crush vibes which are still obvious to this day. Her fancam for their debut song is evidence of her impactful dance skills made all the more dynamic with her resonant singing ability.
3. Kep1er’s YoungEun
During the finale of the survival show “Girl’s Planet 999,” YoungEun placed fifth after a worldwide audience vote. Her secured spot in the debut group Kep1er is assuredly one she earned on her own merit. It’s easier to see for yourself—like how her ‘WA DA DA’ fancam highlights her alluring charisma and powerful dance moves. YoungEun has a deadly stage presence that makes her fitting to be considered one of the group’s aces!
4. CLASS:y’s SeonYou
Don’t be deceived by SeonYou’s age or her youthful appearance. The moment she steps on the stage, she transforms into an entirely new persona who commands the audiences’ attention. There’s a reason why she was considered a force to be reckoned with while she was on the survival show “My Teenage Girl.” In her ‘Surprise’ fancam, you can witness her flair for refined rapping and smooth movements in dancing.
5. ILY:1’s Rona
Rona’s visual appeal is simply out of this world. She has a stage presence that dazzles, which shines twice as brightly alongside her overall stability as a performer. Watching her fancam gives you a glimpse of her duality as someone so delicate-looking managing to hold her own. Overall, Rona feels like she’s just brimming with joyful energy, and it translates well into her execution of their song.
6. IVE’s Rei
In Japanese, Rei’s name means loveliness and gracefulness. She embodies these very traits at her very core, delivering each performance with sharp movements and on-point expressions. Her ‘LOVE DIVE’ fancam calls attention to her unique style and impeccable self-control. While this era may depict her as cool and composed, there’s much to look forward to.
