This is a solo song by Wooyoung of 2PM, and it has both Japanese and Korean versions.

It’s a birthday-themed ballad, and Wooyoung’s gentle vocals really resonate with the heart.

If someone celebrated my birthday by saying, like in the song, “I made this song while thinking of you, the one I love!” I think I’d be unbearably happy (lol).

The group that debuted from the popular audition program Produce 101 Season 2 was Wanna One, but the unit formed by popular eliminated contestants was JBJ.

생일 축하해요 (Happy Birthday)Nu’Est

NU’EST – 생일 축하해요 (Happy Birthday) [Han & Eng]

It’s a romantic song that compares a woman I loved—no, a woman I used to love—to an angel who came to me.

And it’s a very heartbreaking song, because it’s about a woman I’ve already broken up with.

It sounds like he’s offering her congratulations, but thinking that the words won’t reach her makes me want to cry.

I imagine many people have had an experience like this.

By the way, “Happy Birthday” in Korean is saengil chukha haeyo.

Thank you for being born.VIXX

Thank you for being born – VIXX [Japanese subtitles]

It’s a super heart-throbbing birthday song from a boyfriend, isn’t it! If he says the birthday present is “to love you even more,” wouldn’t any woman’s heart skip a beat? Or would you prefer a physical gift instead? (lol) Listening to VIXX’s beautiful voices—the group whose name even hints at their top-tier vocals—just makes you happy.

BIRTHDAYSOMI

JEON SOMI (전소미) – ‘BIRTHDAY’ M/V

Jeon Somi served as the center of I.O.I on the hugely popular survival audition show Produce 101 Season 2.

At the time, she was under JYP Entertainment, which sparked various rumors like “Will she join TWICE?” But in a surprising move, she transferred—her new home being THE BLACK LABEL, the imprint led by Teddy, an indispensable figure behind YG Entertainment’s music.

Since it’s a different style from JYP, many were astonished, but with this debut track she nails a hip hop–based dance-pop sound.

Somi’s dazzling debut and this birthday-themed song are truly energizing!
