Title tracks usually take most of the spotlight in an album and that's understandable. While many title tracks are guaranteed bops, some albums also feature the best K-pop B-side tracks, and many could also overlook these buried gems.
From 2023 to 2024, numerous debuts and comebacks have been introduced to K-pop fans. This only shows how much K-pop is growing over time, and with that said, the surge of title track popularity can indirectly overshadow other releases that are also worth listening to.
