I personally worked on several songs under various K-pop companies, small and larger, where we produced and recorded the song with the artists, but for various reasons some songs don't make the cut to go to full release. Some of those songs could often be sold to other artists, used on live performances or simply never make it to the public ears. In general, an average K-pop company chooses songs from a large pool of demo songs written by various creators around the world. Out of those demos, 3-4 out of 100 might be put on production (write Korean lyrics, make tweaks in the instrumental and vocal melody, record the song with the artists) and only one out of hundred will make it to commercial release.
Aespa said a while ago that they plan to release an english album and my theory is that they're gonna include the recent 4 solo songs on that album since they're mostly all in english
No for real because that hip-hop inspired beat and they’re wrapping in the song sounds so good and also I heard a AI version of how the full song would sound starship should really release that
@@theunoriginaldude8345 OK I didn’t mean like wrapping, but I don’t know how to explain it and wrapping with the only word I could think of kind of like talking but talking on the beat I don’t know. I just only could’ve came up with wrapping, but I get what you mean they’re not really rapping.
@@amoaOliviar. I think the reason why it became so popular was because people never heard anything like this from them and they really enjoyed it so I think starship should’ve really release it because it could’ve been a very good and big move for them
Spark and UP, the more I hear them the more addicted I get, Dopamine and Bored are also amazing songs, They don't keep getting better the more I listen to them, but all four are releasable.
talking about loona we have the whole unreleased last album named “0” i remember reading comment that hyunjin has the album saved on her phone…. maybe one day
another one that i need on spotify is butterfly by pixy. rinji’s debut was to this song, and the group version with full choreo was performed on a survival show, but we never got the official release
Im pretty sure a lot of rappers from boy groups post solo rap songs on SoundCloud, like castle j from mcnd. Also skz have an absurd amount of unreleased music, mostly solo and subunit songs that they performed live or shared on lives. I have given up hope for some of them but i really hope that they release last year's solos and the unreleased skz-records, some of them are so good
my villain origin story is the rollercoaster that is the ownership of the rights to a.c.e's unreleased song "she is so perfect" from their 2018/19 tour. we were so convinced that the song would be released on the next album, only to find out that the rights to the song had been sold to someone else......but then MULTIPLE rumors at different points in time (i'm talking years here) went around that a.c.e had bought the rights back? spoiler: the song is still nowhere to be seen 💀
ugh i wish that modhaus wouldn’t just give songs to any of their groups :( i really want triples to release seoul vice!! it takes away form the groups identity when it just goes to another group because it didn’t get enough votes or whatever
I've been waiting for SM to release Lost which Jaehyun performed during one of 127's tours but jaehyun himself said it's nowhere to be seen on his album. I guess you can say it lives up to its name 😭😭
idk if this counts but jalapeno by lucas and hendery... the performance video and song were leaked but the mv was never fully released and its probably never going to be
its so sad. if it was bcs sm didnt wanted it would be better. but the reason why its not out its just disgusting omg i hate ssgs and that one specificaly
@@nina-hd6pu yes, only the live versions. no studio versions. I am so confused by SM, songs like "Im unhappy" and "salty and sweet" have great visuals with their teasers, but no visuals with the full release. frustrating, I love the song and the visuals.
Giuk, the rapper and bassist from Onewe, has a SoundCloud and there is one song in particular that he still hasn't released officially, and it's criminal. The name is "연금술" (Alchemy), it's more or less a fansong about Fullmetal Alchemist lol but it's SO GOOD. I believe someone on RUclips made a lyrics video for it so you can find it here. I heavily recommend checking it out (and the rest of his immaculate discography ofc)
The rock song Suyeon was producing for Weki Meki in 2021 right before everyone went back to doing rock influenced title tracks. I think about that every single day.
It's such a shame that Moonlight by Taeyong isn't on Shalala album... I love this song and it would fit the album really well. Also Mark's Vibration, I hope it will be included as one of the tracks on his first solo album...
Another (you guessed it) unreleased solo song is NewJeans’ Danielle’s self-written song “Butterfly” that she performed at a Japan performance. She also performed a duet with member Hanni called “Hold it Down” during the Japan performances.
i"m patiently waiting for Minx's pre debut2014 song that has no title and was never mentioned after that one live performance . It will happen...someday...
recently i've really thought about how many songs idols have recorded and not released after Jennie released You & Me last year, which had been an option for her solo debut in 2018 😭😭, and Slow Motion, which was had been in the works since 2021
This is a super old one but Heaven by Seventeen and NUEST W. They performed it at MAMA 2017 and released a dance practice video for it but nothing else since. And it won't ever have a studio version now that NUEST have disbanded and left PLEDIS.
Heaven by Seventeen and Nu'est W was performed at MAMA 2017 and Pledis even uploaded a dance practice for the song. But til this day we do not have it released on any platform, and since Nu'est disbanded all my hopes are gone that it will be released at all
Stray kids have quite a lot solo and unit songs that were performed once and then seemingly forgotten. My personal pain is Scissor by HAN. It was performed in 2021 and this song has Jisung's fastest rap. It sounds amaizing, I really like this type of his songs and I wish it was released but... It was three years and we have zero updates about this song. But lately Han released some songs that have been written in 2021 if I'm not mistaken, soooo we still have hope
Loona's crystal ballad / blooming moon was performed by heejin and haseul at haseuls solo concert a while ago, so hopefully it'll get properly released someday ^^
Some other unreleased Kpop songs ; REDSQUARE - Jasmine REDSQUARE was supposed to make their comeback in 2020/2021 with Jasmine. The group disbanded before the release, but the full song and dance practice video were leaked on their choreographers instagram story. There's still hope IRRIS (group with former RS. members) might release it. eite - Get Out eite performed their comeback song at their concert in Japan. However, the original lineup of the group was kicked out recently, and eite's comeback will feature all new members. Unknown if their comeback song will be Get Out or not.
though it's not a song the music video for tinkerbell by gain was never released!, a teaser was uploaded 11 years ago and nothing since which is really a shame because from just the teaser it looked BEAUTIFUL and the song is really great😢😢
Till this day I'm still pissed that SM didn't release jalapeño by lucas and hendery. Bro it aggrivates me everytime I think abt it bc it sounded like such a bop too😔 Fck u SM
AKMU's Fry's Dream was also unreleased for like 8 years. Chanhyuk wrote it for IU and they have performed it once and was never heard again. When AKMU guested on IU"s Palette, IU gave back the song to AKMU and thus included in their 2023 album.
this is such a good concept wait,, great video as per usual. the saddest instance i can think of is lovelyz's unreleased 3rd full album. idk if it really counts since none of the songs were ever performed or leaked, but it existed and they were meant to release it before they disbanded, but they never did cause woollim sucks
"Heaven" by Seventeen and Nu'est W -- they performed it at MAMA 2017 and released a dance practice video - they clearly recorded it - but never officially released I'll never get over the heartbreak...
Crystal Ballad actually got released, Heejin and Haseul performed it as a duo at Haseul's showcase. It's renamed "Blooming Moon" though, so most probably missed it. I'd probably count it as a release simply bc we waited so long for anything from loonatheballad
I'm not sure if it counts, but my roman empire is 'Last Dance' by i-dle. While, yes it got released but the original version is suppose to be with Soojin. I just want to hear the version with her in it so much.
I know that Jaden actually have La Maison in his computer, HASEUL AND HEEJIN SANG THE ENTIRE SONG OF CRYSTAL BALLAD and I don't why why nobody is talking about that
I wouldn’t say unreleased but I remember hearing that there were songs that the pristin members made but were never in any of their albums. But I know there was a song they performed called rollercoaster and it never saw the light of day
i really thought atmosphere would be a bside on assemble24 like midnight flower and non scale (also in the voting options) were 🥲 also speaking of iland we're still waiting on drip and fake it from the iland 2 finale to be released! hopefully izna records their versions..
So many good songs on here that should have been released. My personal favorite unreleased song was by Moonlight Girls and it is called Go Go Up. It was supposed to be their debut song and they performed it festivals, before they ultimately disbanded due to the pandemic. So sad, it is such a fell good song and it even went slightly viral on my Twitter account, which rarely ever happens
pixy might never make a comeback and have yet to release butterfly as a studio track ...they performed it for a vr show and the maknae did a special choreo video for it. 😭😭😭 it is a really cool song but likely will never be released.
Aespa also performed solo songs on their tour in 2023 and as far as I know, they still haven't released them. I NEED MENAGERIE BY KARINA ASAP
YES I LOVE MENAGRIE
frrr i also love winter's solo "Lips" been looping it at youtube music
And also wake up by ning ning, its so catchy 😔😔
I also really love Up by Karina
i came here to say this exact same thing
I need aespa 8 solo songs to be released
I personally worked on several songs under various K-pop companies, small and larger, where we produced and recorded the song with the artists, but for various reasons some songs don't make the cut to go to full release.

this is such an insightful comment, thank you!!
La Maison Loona is my roman empire, I still have hope that one day we will have these tracks
Heejin and Haseul actually performed one of them in their concert not long ago
@@tranthuylinh3340 I know and I listen to the fancam of that like once a week 🫠
that was my first thought🥹 i still cry sometimes when i remember hyper ballad
here we are 4 months later with burn possibly seeing the light of day. delayed but someday is real. T_T
Aespa said a while ago that they plan to release an english album and my theory is that they're gonna include the recent 4 solo songs on that album since they're mostly all in english
They’ve released them
@@tvgirisi3578 there are NO solo songs available from SM, try to find it not live. I have. They don't exist in a studio form
Starship FUMBLED THEE MAJOR BAG for not releasing Dear. Cupid

I wish tripleS and aespa will release these songs
the way modhaus treats giving songs to their groups pisses me off so bad😭😭
Is fun, sucks for KPOP fans but, As I JPOP fan I like the thrill of TripleS' system. I always vote!
kpop fans when something is even vaguely unconventional
@@yooyeommore like inconvenient
dopamine by giselle actually changed my life all of the aespa solos need to be released or i will simply perish
IT CHANGED MY ENTIRE BODY AND BRAIN CHEMISTRY I NEED IT IN ME
It did
Spark and UP, the more I hear them the more addicted I get, Dopamine and Bored are also amazing songs, They don't keep getting better the more I listen to them, but all four are releasable.
talking about loona
we have the whole unreleased last album named “0”
i remember reading comment that hyunjin has the album saved on her phone…. maybe one day
but it's hyunjin source :( it's a trust issue
It got leaked btw
@@tvgirisi3578 i saw it too it’s a masterpiece !!! hyunjin did a great job
i’m just kidding
@@tvgirisi3578 i saw it too it’s a masterpiece !!! hyunjin did a great job

don't get me started with loona, the amount of unreleased MVs, songs, song versions, etc is astronomical
another one that i need on spotify is butterfly by pixy. rinji’s debut was to this song, and the group version with full choreo was performed on a survival show, but we never got the official release
YESSSSS I’m gonna cryyyyy I want it so bad
R U Next had so many cool songs, but they didn't even care to release clean versions of the performances:(
yesss, especially desperate... I thought they were going to at least make an illit version but based on their concept, I don't think so 😭
So glad that Snake from GP999 is on Spotify
Im pretty sure a lot of rappers from boy groups post solo rap songs on SoundCloud, like castle j from mcnd. Also skz have an absurd amount of unreleased music, mostly solo and subunit songs that they performed live or shared on lives. I have given up hope for some of them but i really hope that they release last year's solos and the unreleased skz-records, some of them are so good
the taemin one is so evil.. 8 YEARS
Up by karina having 50k uses and no official release is killing me..and tf they focus on naevis
Naevis is part of their lore, Up is an amazing song but has no connection to their lore.
I also add Red Sun by Viviz. This song was originally for Gfriend, you can hear the voices of the other three members in the hidden vocals
Haseul and Heejin already performed Crystal Ballad full in Haseul's welcome concert.
but its not released yet

not including OT12 IZ*ONE rumor is a CRIME
3:12 fun fact about crystal ballad, heejin and haseul performed it last year at haseul's theatre concert!
taemin's song... it's unbelievably amazing. hearing it again after such a long time... pure nostalgia.
Belle’s Venus sounds sooo good WISHING IT WILL BE RELEASED ONE DAY
MY HEART SANK WHEN LA MAISON PLAYED DAMN I FORGOT THAT ALBUM EXISTED 😭
Irene debuted solo this year and Ka-ching is in her debut album Like A Flower
Heaven by SEVENTEEN and NU’EST W definitely needs to be included
It’s been almost 7 years 😭
I completely forgot that was never officially released, I used to watch the dance practice all the time 😭
Omg yes
Wait heaven wasn't officially released?!
@@Mylife-clueless yeah it wasn't :'>

good news..atmosphere was released today...
A few Armys including myself have forever been wanting the version of Spring Day that’s featured in the MV teaser that has a full acapella bit

pixy might never make a comeback and have yet to release butterfly as a studio track ...they performed it for a vr show and the maknae did a special choreo video for it. 😭😭😭 it is a really cool song but likely will never be released.
ALL IN by CL is my true Roman Empire… it’s been 6 years since she leaked half of it with music video and nothing ever since
UP by karina NEEDS to be released rn. That song is crazy good.
modhaus, y’all better release atmosphere asap!!!
