Do You Have a Least Favorite Song by a K-pop Group?

As a seasoned SEO for Google, I’ve noticed that many fans find themselves drawn to and enamored with certain K-pop groups and their songs. However, it isn’t uncommon to have a favorite song by a K-pop idol that we simply don’t like. Such is the case with me. Yes, I do have a favorite song by iKON that I don’t like, and it’s their hit, "Love Scenario."

Blackpink: Beyond the Euphoria

Let’s dive into what some fans have to say about their favorite and least favorite songs. One of the more vicious critics in the K-pop scene is Blackpink. They have an impressive repertoire, but in honesty, one may dislike their recent releases, finding them a bit too plain and repetitive. While Blackpink has amazing songs from their debut era, such as Ice Cream, Money, and Lalisa (a Lisa solo), many feel their recent output is not as exciting. For instance, "Girl" and "Listeen: In Born Pink" are less liked by some fans, while songs like How You Like That and Pretty Savage are among the favorites.

Jin from BTS: A Mixed Bag

Another artist who sparks strong opinions is Jin from BTS. While many adore the entire group, there is a subset of fans who prefer his solo work. Songs like Epiphany and Yours are fan favorites for their unique tone and voice. Similarly, Baekhyun and Suho from EXO have been singled out with respect to solo pieces. Baekhyun’s UN Village and Suho’s Turn of the Alarm (featuring Mew Suppasit) are notable mentions for their catchy tunes.

More Observations and Preferences

For other groups, opinions are still divided. Fans have reported that group member Lay from EXO is highly anticipated to return, suggesting he has a massive fan base. Lisa from Blackpink and other well-known soloists such as Jessi with Cold Blooded also receive mixed reviews. Therefore, a deep dive into these artists can reveal a spectrum of individual preferences.

Fan Polls and Personal Preferences

For a more structured view, fan polls can be very enlightening. Here’s a summary of some popular groups and their fan preferences:

Blackpink: Favorite Song: Pretty Savage/How You Like That Least Favorite: Girl (less listened to songs: Kick it) TWICE: Favorite Song: Fancy Least Favorite: Scientist ITZY: Favorite Song: Mafia in the Morning Least Favorite: Dalla Dalla (or Not shy, preferences vary) Red Velvet: Favorite Song: Phsyco/Queendom Least Favorite: Bing Bing AEspa: Favorite Song: Savage/Next Level Least Favorite: Dreams Come True Somi: Favorite Song: Anyway/XOXO Least Favorite: Dumb Dumb BTS: Favorite Song: Butter Least Favorite: Be

These lists showcase a mix of favorites and least-favorite songs across various K-pop idols, highlighting the diversity of fan opinions.
