Set on a Christmas night when pure white snow is falling, “snowy night” was released in 2021 by Billlie, a girl group composed of Japanese and Korean members.
The track blends mellow synth tones with their cute vocals, creating a sound that carries a touch of the ethereal.
Precisely because it’s the season when the city shines, the song portrays feelings of loneliness and solitude, embedding a bittersweet yet beautiful message of praying to the “moon.” It’s a winter song that invites you to experience a soundscape that conjures scenes of a winter night.

A heartwarming love song that paints a beautiful winter scene where white snowflakes drift down.
Released in December 2023 by popular singer-songwriter Paul Kim, this work is a remake of a classic hit by Fin.K.L.
It depicts a year of memories with a lover and the happiness of the couple walking through snow-covered streets, accompanied by a gentle melody.
Paul Kim’s emotionally rich vocals beautifully capture the feelings of someone in love, resonating deeply with listeners.
It’s a song that makes the time spent with someone special during the Christmas season even more meaningful.
Beautiful ChristmasRed Velvet X aespa
“Beautiful Christmas,” a collaborative track released in 2022 by the globally popular girl groups Red Velvet and aespa.
The song portrays moments of welcoming that once-a-year special day with someone dear.
One of its charms is their colorful choral work layered over a rhythmic track.
There are plenty of highlights—from each member’s individual vocals to their harmonies.
With its bright pop-synth tones, it’s a perfect fit for a festive Christmas.
Be sure to listen along with the music video, where all the members sing and dance dressed as Santa.
Must Have LoveSG Wannabe · Brown Eyed Girls
A Christmas song collaboration by SG Wannabe’s Kim Yong-jun—who gained popularity mainly in the 2000s for his strong vocals—and Brown Eyed Girls’ Ga-In.
Although it was released in 2006, it has been loved for a long time, even re-entering the charts in 2020.
Many artists have covered it on music shows, so some of you may have heard it there.
It’s a Christmas sound brimming with a celebratory mood, starting with a dramatic intro that lifts your spirits.
The lyrics, which sweetly sing about the joy of simply being together—“As long as I’m with the one I love, that’s enough”—make the happiness of Christmas feel all the more special.
크리스마스니까 (Because It’s Christmas)Jelly Christmas 2012 HEART PROJECT
A project single by Jellyfish Entertainment that brings together artists who stand out in the K-POP world for their exceptional vocal appeal.
‘Because It’s Christmas (크리스마스니까)’ is a 2012 track and a Christmas song that has been loved in Korea for many years.
Featuring the sweet vocals of everyone involved, including Sung Si-kyung, who was with the label at the time, this exquisite number gently wraps you up.
Although the lyrics are from a male perspective, the modest, almost girlish expressions are endearing.
It’s perfect when you’re looking for a healing Christmas song.
In conclusion
Korean Christmas songs are basically all about “enjoying together.” You might expect only lovey-dovey couple tracks, but the concept is actually closer to Western Christmas music.
Since there are many Christians, Christmas may be seen less as a romantic event and more as a day to spend with family and friends.
Find a favorite track and make it your companion this Christmas!
