[Repeat-Worthy] Energetic K-pop Tracks That Lift Your Mood (11–20)
Badder LoveEVNNE
An upbeat track packed with the passion and bittersweetness of youth.
It’s a song by the boy group EVNNE.
Featured as the title track on their third mini-album “RIDE or DIE,” released in June 2024, it captivates with an addictive sound that fuses electropop and dance music.
The lyrics portray the intensity and complexity of love, resonating with the feelings of young people.
In the music video, the members deliver standout performances against the backdrop of Korea’s beautiful scenery.
The members were actively involved in the production process, which reportedly strengthened the group’s bond.
It’s sure to strike a chord with anyone wrestling with matters of the heart!
Just do it!JEON WOONG, AB6IX
A lively dance beat and catchy melody make this track a pleasure to listen to.
It’s a solo song by AB6IX member Jeon Woong, included on the special EP “Find YOU,” released in August 2024.
Carrying a positive message of “Don’t give up—keep challenging yourself,” the lyrics reflect a determination to overcome everyday hardships.
Jeon Woong’s soaring vocals are striking, and it’s the kind of song that can lift your spirits when you’re feeling stressed or anxious.
This work fully showcases his appeal as a solo artist.
HIPMAMAMOO
MAMAMOO is a K-POP group whose solid talent shines through even in their sexy performances.
They’re hugely popular worldwide, and member Hwasa’s high level of musicality has garnered attention for her solo work as well.
Among MAMAMOO’s releases, a dance track I especially recommend is HIP.
The way it shifts from an opening reminiscent of Daft Punk’s Technologic into a sexy melody is striking.
Rather than pumping you up to the max, it’s a track with an infectious groove that makes your body sway naturally.
GANGNAM STYLEPSY
When it comes to Korean artists who are now popular worldwide, I think the first name that comes up is BTS.
This song, “GANGNAM STYLE,” is a track by PSY that gained global popularity even before BTS rose to fame.
It’s an extremely upbeat piece, crafted with a sound that actively incorporates EDM, which was booming at the time.
It’s highly addictive, so if you just want to get pumped up, be sure to check it out.
CHEER UPTwice
This is one of TWICE’s signature feel-good songs—the kind you want to play when drowsiness hits while studying or when you just can’t get motivated.
Its “color pop” sound, blending genres like hip-hop and tropical house, instantly brightens your mood just by listening.
The adorable part performed by member Sana became such a sensation that it sparked a craze, with many celebrities imitating it.
Included on the mini-album PAGE TWO released in April 2016, the track helped cement the group’s breakthrough, winning top honors at major music award shows that same year.
It’s perfect for a quick refresh between study sessions, and also works great as BGM to boost your concentration when it really counts.
