K-pop Masterpieces & Best Hits Collection [Latest & Classic Popular Songs + Editor’s Select] (221–230)
Love Me Like ThisNMIXX
NMIXX, who debuted with “O.O” in 2022.
Their 2023 release “Love Me Like This” is recommended for its poppier sound that still makes the most of their signature energetic vibe.
While the melody parts are sung with a soft, R&B-like tone over a bouncy beat, it’s also interesting how the chorus shifts to a hip-hop-style repetition of the same phrase.
Plus, the bridge features solo parts that spotlight the members’ vocal abilities, so be sure to listen for that too!
F*ck My LifeSEVENTEEN
While they’re all-rounders, SEVENTEEN also has a strong fresh, smart image, so just seeing the title might be shocking.
It’s one of the two lead tracks that stand alongside Super on their 10th mini album FML, released April 24, 2023.
Even though I called it shocking, once you actually listen, it’s a supportive anthem in SEVENTEEN’s signature, comforting way.
When thoughts like “What’s the point of life…?” cross your mind, this song will surely save you.
It’s a hopeful number that promises a great sense of unity at concerts and festivals.
Tell Me You Like MeBolbbalgan4
“Tell Me You Like Me” by Bolbbalgan4 is a song that captures the sweet-and-sour feelings of unrequited love.
It’s a track by the acoustic duo consisting of Ahn Jiyoung and Woo Jiyoon, who sang “Imagine” at the opening ceremony of the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics.
They originally performed street gigs in their hometown.
Although they were eliminated from the TOP10 on the audition program “Superstar K,” they were very popular with viewers, and after debuting, they gained overwhelming popularity among younger generations.
LOVE LIGHTCNBLUE
They’re a band, which is rare in South Korea.
Since there reportedly aren’t many live music venues there, they spent their early years touring live houses in Japan.
In this song, the leader Jung Yong-hwa appeared on the Korean variety show “We Got Married,” co-starring with Girls’ Generation’s Seohyun.
It became a hot topic, with many wondering if he wrote the song with Seohyun in mind.
산소호흡기(Respirator)HAN, Seungmin
From South Korea’s Stray Kids comes a song filled with both poignancy and hope.
Co-written by Han and Seungmin, it was released in June 2024 as a gift to fans.
The lyrics, expressing a wish to be by someone’s side like a respirator, are deeply moving.
The gentle melody, blending ballad and pop, is breathtaking as the two’s emotive vocals intertwine.
This work carries a desire to bring comfort to those facing hardship.
It’s a warm track that reminds us of the importance of supporting one another, especially in difficult times.
