3 Of The Biggest Underdog Stories In K-Pop That Will Move You To Tears

Debuting as an idol isn’t enough to guarantee success, and often, more idols end up failing rather than succeeding.

These three groups, however, pulled through a tough rookie period and came out on top after going viral on the Internet.

1. EXID

A video of EXID‘s Hani catapulted the group into immense popularity after one fan cam of her dancing to “UP&DOWN” went viral.

It has racked up over 26 million views on YouTube and is now referred to as the “legendary Hani fancam”.

According to EXID, they believed “UP&DOWN” would be their last promotional album due to their stagnant popularity, so this fan cam truly turned everything around for them.
