K-POP Greatest Songs & Best Hits Collection [Latest & Timeless Popular Songs + Editor’s Select] (31–40)
YES or YESTwice
It’s the title track from their sixth mini-album, released in 2018.
Among TWICE’s post-“TT”—their biggest hit—songs, it features a sophisticated, buoyant melody that feels pleasant and evokes the group’s early days.
Rather than “YES or NO,” its adorable charm narrows it down to a single choice: “YES or YES.” Despite being an import, it also reached No.
1 on the weekly Oricon chart.
SIGNALTwice
This is TWICE’s “SIGNAL,” which is hugely popular in both Korea and Japan.
Following “KNOCK KNOCK,” the song exploded in popularity from its release date.
The choreography, where you make a fist and stick out your thumb and pinky as if the TWICE members are communicating, is super cute.
It’s easy to imitate, so definitely give it a try.
BreakthroughTwice
This is the group’s fifth single, an original song for Japan, released one week after the fourth single “HAPPY HAPPY,” with a different concept.
While “HAPPY HAPPY” embodies the sun, “Breakthrough” takes the moon as its motif, showcasing contrasting charms.
Centering on dance—the core of TWICE—the track presents a new challenge that expresses a summer night.
Love ShotEXO
The lead single from EXO’s fifth album.
Members Chen and Chanyeol wrote the lyrics.
There are Korean and Chinese versions of the music video.
The song expresses the desire to find true love in an anxious world.
If you meet someone you can truly trust, you can live strongly no matter how dark the world may be.
Left & RightSEVENTEEN
They are a 13-member male idol group.
This song, one of the standouts from their mini-album released in June 2020 through online music platforms, topped the charts as soon as it dropped.
In the music video, they dance in a street setting reminiscent of American hip-hop artists, and it looks incredibly cool.
With more members than most groups, their perfectly synchronized choreography is a must-see! It also makes a great driving song for the summer.
