There are a number of acts who have debuted in the past few decades and have dozens of song ratings on this blog. I thought it would be fun to lay these ratings out in chronological order, line-graph style, and take a macro view of their careers so far. Then, similar to my “Underrated K-pop” features, I can average their ratings into one mega-score and place them in a pantheon alongside other acts.
As always, this feature has some rules of its own. I’m including any “Song Review” ratings as part of this graph, including Japanese releases and collaborations with one other artist. I’m not including Buried Treasures or solo/sub-unit releases. For the ratings themselves, I’m using the most current number on this blog, so if a song was part of a “Risers and Fallers” or “Legendary Songs Inauguration” post, that’s the rating you’ll see displayed here. That means there will still be a few ratings here and there I find slightly inaccurate, but it’ll mostly reflect my up-to-date feelings.
Finally, these scores are completely subjective. Feel free to agree, disagree and argue (that’s part of the fun!), but know that this chart reflects the opinion of only one person (me).

I do not like it. That’s about all the review you’re going to get from that one, I’m afraid. 😅

Wow…everything I hear about it is positive..is it too repetitive for you? I think it’s the best out of their song cataloge…but if you don’t really like their other songs so far you probably won’t like MOYA too ig

Huh, I know less K-pop acts than I thought I would honestly. I thought Boys Republic would happen after like 7 months of the start of this feature, lol.
‘Dress Up’ is a banger though. You’ve actually reviewed that song twice!

they had such a unique sound. If they had lasted at least another 7 years, I think they’d be mentioned alongside the K-pop icons. It’s honestly sad how barely anyone remembers them anymore. They deserve a place in the K-pop pantheon
