Artists you thought were overrated but now love (1 Viewer)

Were there any artists you thought were overrated at first but then grew to love?

For me, when I first heard Red Velvet's titles (namely, Russian Roulette), I thought the group was overrated. A lot of their notable title tracks were 'Red,' which was not my style at the time. When I finally listened to RV's albums, I started to like them, and they were solidified as one of my favorite groups by the time Peek-a-Boo came out. Also, their Red side is amazing now.

Another one is Bewhy. I knew he was a great rapper but his rap seemed to be stagnating and I didn't understand *all* of the praise. Most of his music didn't particularly impress me either. However, this year my opinion on him did a 180—he released a fantastic album where he produced nearly all the tracks alone (whereas before I thought his producing was alright). I was really blown away. He's definitely one of my favorite K-rappers now.

yes BewhY king released the best album

I lowkey felt that loco was overrated. I never cared too much about his releases but than came Movie Shoot with Dabin and it really got to me. His ep Hello really is what got me really obsessed. It‘s so good

and fancy is SOTY imo

None. I really really do not change my mind on kpop. Mostly because if i think they are not worth my time they get none of my time :)

I do like some WG after just not really feeling nobody.
That is about as close as it gets for me i guess.

TXT sorta? When BigHit first announced them, my thoughts were that they were probably going to be overrated and have clout just because of BTS, but now I really love them & their first album. All of the members are so precious too

Oh wow that must have been pretty unexpected

I haven't gotten into TXT but I'll follow their future releases and maybe they'll surprise me, especially if their music gets edgy later on
