Hashtag is a kpop girl group from the third generation of kpop. They debuted back in 2017 with seven members, two of which have left the group for good. The group is currently under Wannabe Entertainment and LUK Factory.
The girl band currently has two extended plays and four singles under their belt. Their fandom’s name is Happi. Their first and debut EP, The Girl Next Door, has six songs that bring a bright and friendly as well as cute energy as it is a girly concept. The intro track is stacked with harmonies of the girls singing the word Hashtag. Hue, track two on the EP, is a cute song with the members singing a love song.
Track three, Something Like That, proves that Hashtag is a vocally strong group with myriad shades of voices. This sound reminds us of the late 2010s because it was released in 2017.
