Kilk Bong is a male duo that debuted in 2013.

Their song “I Wish the Wind Would Blow” is one I’d recommend as an autumn tune.

When autumn brings a vague sense of melancholy, listening to “I Wish the Wind Would Blow” gently seeps into the heart.

Writing a Letter on a Cloudy Autumn Sky김광석

김광석 – 흐린 가을 하늘에 편지를 써 (Writing a Letter on a Cloudy Autumn Sky) (Official Audio) (2022 Remastered)

This is a beloved classic in Korea, an autumn ballad themed around the passage of time and introspection.

Included on the 1993 remake album “다시 부르기 1,” it is known for Kim Kwang-seok’s deep voice and poetic lyrics.

Through the act of writing a letter under a cloudy sky, it portrays a confrontation with lost dreams and past emotions, delivering a moving experience that resonates with listeners.

It was also used on the soundtrack of the musical “그날들,” making it popular across generations.

It’s a song you’ll want to listen to leisurely by the window at autumn dusk.

A ballad that stays by your side when you’re feeling blue—and one I recommend for autumn—is singer-songwriter Roy Kim’s “Only then.” Released in February 2018 as his fourth single, the song begins with a subdued, wistful mood, then in the second verse takes on a warmth that evokes winter air—perfect for that shift from autumn to winter.

Phrases like “we can break up when the time comes,” which focus on the present moment, deliver a uniquely poignant sting.

The dramatic build from the guitar interlude swells with emotion, letting those feelings of longing spill over.

Little starStanding Egg

STANDING EGG – Little Star (LIVE)

STANDING EGG is a Korean indie pop unit whose members go by the names egg No.1, No.2, and No.3, and who continue to keep their faces out of artist photos and promotional materials.

Their gentle, acoustic-based pop will undoubtedly resonate with fans of late ’90s to early ’00s J-pop, and the members themselves say they were heavily influenced by J-pop from that era.

Their song Little Star, which fully showcases their charm, features a beautiful melody, vocals that gently envelop the listener, and the sound of an acoustic guitar that sinks straight into the heart—truly a wonderful track.

Even if you don’t understand the Korean lyrics, it’s an easy and pleasant listen, so do give it a spin as background music on a long autumn night.
