시선 둘 시선 하나 (what if..)EXO
This is a song included on the 2015 album Exodus.
While EXO is often associated with powerful dance performances by a large group, they are also a group that excels at singing ballads like this one.
From the very first line, the song carries a sorrowful atmosphere.
Hear Me OutEXO
EXO is known as the flagship male idol group of SM Entertainment, one of South Korea’s major music agencies.
They debuted in 2012 and have gained popularity with their charismatic, cool tracks.
Their 2023 release “Hear Me Out” is a mid-tempo, mellow pop song.
True to its title, which essentially says “Hear me out to the end,” it has a calm vibe that makes you want to settle in for a relaxed conversation, making it a great choice to play as background music in your room.
12월의 기적 (Miracles in December)EXO
A love ballad that sings of the magnitude of a lost love.
When his lover was by his side, he was self-centered and neglected her.
Only after they part does he realize how much she meant to him.
Piano, strings, and choral work create a quiet, heartrending winter world.
Just listening fills your chest and brings you to the verge of tears.
It’s perfect for a cold night.
Christmas DayEXO
A song that captures the flutter of romance that rises at Christmas.
As the world becomes all about Christmas, the lyrics tell of a love that grows deeper for that special someone.
Yet the melody itself has a mature R&B vibe.
In reality, it’s two lovers cuddling up, the guy totally giddy over her cute expressions.
Sung with a cool touch, it comes across as a sophisticated, grown-up Christmas love.
