K-pop B-sides that became more popular than the main tracks

Remember some b-sides from K-pop groups that ended up surpassing the success of their main tracks, and also won over the public

In the K-pop industry, it is extremely common that, at the launch of each album, the group focuses on promoting just one single, known as the title track, a track that receives a special clip, and is presented on music programs. Meanwhile, the other songs that make up the album come to be known as “b-sides”, or “side B”, in free translation.

Generally, because they are not promoted in the same way as the title track, b-sides become songs that are only recognized by fans of the group or soloist, who actually listen to the album in its entirety from start to finish. However, there have been several cases in the industry where a b-side ended up surpassing the popularity of the title track, causing many people to end up forgetting which track was the real single.
