SF9 and NU’EST Deserve More Hype: A post about two of my all-time favorite groups.

Sep 10, 2025

SF9 and NU’EST are some of my all-time favorite groups, they both have had moments with rises in popularity, but for those not familiar with their work I am going put y’all on to some of my favorite songs from them.

SF9

Easy Love – One of my all time favorite kpop songs PERIOD!
Good Guy – this for me is one of those songs that truly shows the groups identity.
Tear Drop – The reign of the sexy era (post Kingdom): this is who SF9 really is that classy, yearning type of sexy.
RPM – You want more pop heavy don’t worry loves they got that too.
Love Race – most recent come back
Puzzel – another banger of perfection.

Honorable mentions: O Solo Mio , Move (kingdom performance) , Believer

Trust this list could be longer, I Iove them soo much , but I won’t overwhelm yall with greatness and I still need to do NU’EST.

NU’EST

NU’EST is an older group so we got to go back a bit but enjoy the ride I am going take you on.

Good Bye – when I think of 2014 era of kpop this is one of the first songs that comes to mind for me, a classic.
Hello – Another classic from a time long ago (lol)
Overcome – this is the song that got me, and I haven’t been off the group since.
Love Paint – really highlights their smooth sound which I personally think is their identity.
Help Me – NU’EST W (while Minhyun was with Wanna One) Even with missing a strong vocal member they just don’t miss.
Inside Out – My personal favorite NU’EST song

Now I am going to stop them at 6 like SF9 but before getting to honorable mentions I have to show love to their goodbye song as a group, because unfortunately they have disbanded.

Again – is a letter to their fans a closing of this book and the beginning of another.

Honorable Mentions: I’m in Trouble , BET BET , Dejavu (NU’EST W)

I know, I know this post is long already, but I wanted to do these groups justice. I mainly focused on title tracks for the sake of the post but best believe both groups’ B-sides are in heavy rotation. I just wanted to share some my personal favs and do them justice. Enjoy!

– I hope you enjoyed the read and the listen.
