Recommended K-pop for Halloween: A special feature to enjoy artistic worlds (21–30)
Full MoonSUNMI
Let me introduce “Full Moon,” which has a mellow vibe and is perfect for Halloween.
This song is by Sunmi—also known as a member of Wonder Girls—and features Lena.
As you can clearly see in the music video, it portrays a vampire woman who falls in love with a human man and shows how she wins him over.
Listen while paying attention to what happens to the man.
Also, don’t miss the much-talked-about body-waving dance.
Mr. VampireITZY
This is a hip-hop track released in 2024 as a pre-release single from ITZY’s mini-album “BORN TO BE,” featuring piano and whistle-like tones that create a dreamy atmosphere.
It depicts the fluttering excitement of falling in love, like a vampire awakened from slumber, blending Halloween vibes with sweet romance to perfection.
Rather than leaning into overt horror, it captivates with a light groove and an artistic worldview—hallmarks of ITZY’s unique appeal.
Perfect for a Halloween party when you want a touch of mystery while keeping things pop and upbeat!
ZOMBIEEVERGLOW
A dark pop tune that masterfully captures Halloween’s unsettling atmosphere.
The lyrics portray a wounded heart as a zombie, wandering through the remnants of emotions like betrayal and sorrow—perfect for the Halloween aesthetic.
Whispered vocals and reverberant processing heighten the eeriness.
Released in June 2024 as the title track of the single album “ZOMBIE,” this work marks an ambitious new direction for EVERGLOW.
Paired with its horror-style music video, it’s a top recommendation when you want to add a chic, dark vibe to your Halloween party.
MonsterIRENE & SEULGI
Irene & Seulgi is a musical unit formed by two members of Red Velvet.
The title track of their first mini album is “Monster.” Repeating the title phrase, the song portrays women who manipulate men at will.
Its fantastical imagery and suggestive lines invite all kinds of interpretation, which is part of its appeal.
The music video, which incorporates horror elements, is also a must-see—like a horror film, yet undeniably cool.
Good Boy Gone BadTXT
This is an ambitious work by TXT that pivots from a sweet atmosphere to a darker worldview.
Their fourth mini-album, “minisode 2: Thursday’s Child,” included here, became a million seller.
It portrays the end of first love and self-transformation with hardcore beats and powerful lyrics.
The music video exudes a zombie-like eeriness, making it perfect for the Halloween season.
Beyond the song’s concept, the lyrics convey a sense of self-destructive emotion that could even overlap with a monster motif.
Depicting the process of overcoming heartbreak and discovering a new self, this piece is recommended for times when you want to heal a wounded heart or change yourself.
It’s a cool track that offers a glimpse of a new side of TXT.
Put It Straight (Nightmare Version)(G)I-DLE
(G)I-DLE captivate fans with their expressive artistry and self-produced flair.
The perfect track for Halloween night is this piece where stillness and frenzy entwine.
Originally a ballad on the mini album “I Made,” it was reimagined in October 2019 into a nightmare-like horror version for the music show “Queendom,” led by leader Soyeon.
The emotional arc—grief after being told goodbye by a lover gradually mutating into anger and a mad, obsessive fixation—is portrayed brilliantly.
The progression from whispered words to bloodcurdling screams is breathtaking, and the performance itself has been hailed as legendary.
Highly recommended for anyone seeking an artistic, spine-chilling Halloween experience!
Chase MeDreamcatcher
This is a rock number with irresistible heavy guitar sounds and a driving, high-speed beat! It’s a track by the girl group DREAMCATCHER, included in their single album “Nightmare,” released in January 2017 as their re-debut work.
The song’s protagonist is a girl who launches a thrilling game of tag within a nightmare.
She taunts, “Try and catch me,” yet remains uncaught—portraying a mysterious and bold figure.
Its musicality has been highly acclaimed internationally, earning a spot on Billboard’s “Best K-Pop Songs of 2017.” Perfect for those who find ordinary Halloween songs unsatisfying and want to immerse themselves in a genuine, artistic horror world!
