In a K-pop market where countless groups debut and make comebacks, the consumption cycle of music has progressively shortened. Unless a song is placed at the very top of the charts, it is likely to be quickly pushed out. This doesn't mean, however, that the songs being pushed out are of low quality. There are many high-quality songs with captivating melodies, lyrics, vocals, and performances. At times, it's puzzling why they didn't gain popularity when they were initially released.

These 'hidden' songs eventually get their re-evaluation. While not all of them achieve the grand title of a 'comeback', many K-pop fans love rediscovering these hidden 'masterpieces' and sharing them with others. The girl group fromis_9 is a prime example of a group recognized as a 'hub of hidden gems'. Their past tracks like 'DM', 'WE GO', 'Feel Good(SECRET CODE)', 'FUN!', and 'LOVE BOMB' have climbed the charts despite not being actively promoted, simply due to word of mouth.

fromis_9 is releasing their first full-length album 'Unlock My World' on June 5th. The fact that fromis_9, who have released numerous hits over the years, are releasing their first album after five years comes as a surprise. The weight of a full album is special to a musician. As always, fromis_9 have continually honed their craft to uphold their reputation as a 'group with good songs'. The title track '#menow' is created with the help of hitmaker Ryan Jeon, raising expectations. With over two weeks left until the album release, why not wait while exploring fromis_9's representative hidden gems?
