Because I Love YouKang Minkyung
A solo number by Davichi member MinKyung.
It’s the title track of a mini album released in 2019.
It’s a tear-jerking love song that expresses the heartbreak of a woman who can’t forget her ex.
Combined with MinKyung’s vocals, it’s beyond bittersweet—it’s downright painful.
If you listen to it while going through a breakup, you’ll literally cry.
The chorus in particular will have you shedding lots of tears and might even help you feel refreshed afterward.

This is a catchy pop track by the five-member girl group from Korea, LUCYNE.
It’s one of the double title tracks from their mini-album SCENEDROME, released in August 2024.
With an energetic beat and memorable melody, it sings about the shock of love.
The urban, stylish music video is also captivating.

Social Path (feat. LiSA)Stray Kids
In 2023, Stray Kids grew bigger in scale year by year, even setting a new all-time K-POP record for album sales with “★★★★★ (5-STAR).” This is the title track from their first Japanese EP released in August of the same year.
While the melody—especially the chorus—has a sense of affinity with J-POP, the foundation of the song is, of course, built by the three members of 3RACHA.
The harmony with LiSA’s rock style feels like it will bring a fresh new breeze.
Bang Chan himself has said he drew courage from LiSA’s songs, which makes this an especially fiery collaboration.
It’s an energetic, cool track that gives you the power to seize the future!
