We all have our favorite groups out there - some who are total nugu groups and others who have a fandom almost as big as your love for said group. However, these groups may have a lot to offer but people just seem to just push them away. Whatever the case, these groups have talent and are either being promoted/marketed poorly by their companies or simply overlooked by fans (in both Korea and internationally)! Check out our list of idols who are more than diamonds in the rough.

The boys of "Boys Republic" are a group to look out for! They had a charismatic debut, built up their fan hype with some catchy songs and even revamped their style for their latest "Hello" promotions. Sadly, even with these changes, they can't seem to win over many fans and no one knows why.

These boys were making headlines left and right as they were getting much attention for being produced by Jackie Chan! The boys hit hard with some fierce tracks and even did a popular remake of Jung Hoon Hee's "On The Flower Bed". Despite having some great vocals, handsome visuals and boasting some lively concepts, they're still lurking in the shadows of other boy groups.

Another boy group that is wearing the invisible cloak, HIGH4 hasn't even made much of a splash in the Hallyu wave. The boys try to maintain their popularity with charming styles, bold rap styles and smooth dance moves! With all this, they are still hidden in the crowd awaiting the spotlight.

Pumping out an energetic sound isn't enough to make you outshine the rest of these groups nowadays. Yet, UP10TION have concepts that are more than just lively. They have a great style that needs to be pushed and developed a little more before they get a taste of being #1.

Topp Dogg maintain a real theatrical and dramatic concept with each of their songs! They are bold, captivating and have a unique composition in comparison to the usual sounds that boy groups are belting out these days. What more can they do to escape idol limbo?

You may ask why an established group is on the list? Well, they've been around for 4 years now and aren't evolving in the best way. Their songs are well executed and have great lyrics but they can't seem to fully win over the crowd. I believe with their talent they should be even more popular. Hopefully they have a chance at pushing out something new to showcase their talents to the public.

The boys of 100% were aiming for the same success groups like BTS have seen, especially since they were pushed as a group with diverse talent during their debut days. They have released handfuls of songs that showcased their many talents but they are still stuck climbing up the ladder of fame.

SPEED has probably done everything in their power to make fans go gaga over them. From more than catchy releases to even killer acrobatic choreography in heelies - they are rolling out all the punches with everything they got, but it just isn't enough to get them on top.

These boys got talent! Their songs are flashy, funky and emulate that same swag Super Junior was known for during 2011. All their songs make you want to get up and dance but the rest of the world seems to remain in their seats. Maybe this explains Zico's solo adventures?

Believe it or not, UNIQ is another group compiled of international members and is even managed by a Chinese entertainment company! One would assume that the Chinese would break into the Korean market with a different approach and appeal to the masses through their own unique fusion of sounds, yet the group hasn't even graced the stage with a successful amount of recognition yet. Although being active, the group hasn't mastered the recipe that will spark interest towards their music and faces.
