Cute K-pop and Korean Songs: Heartwarming and Uplifting Heart-Fluttering Tracks (171–180)
참깨와 솜사탕 (Sesame And Cotton Candy)키스미 (Kiss Me)
A song by the Korean group Kiss Me, notable for its harmonies woven by a jazzy guitar, a male vocal, and a female vocal.
Its delicate, refreshing melody brings back memories of first love.
Partway through, a deep bass comes in, making it even jazzier.
The guitar work is phenomenal, but rather than being showy, it serves as a pop-leaning accompaniment that highlights the members’ voices.
With unique arrangements like phone sounds and choral parts appearing between sections, it’s a thrilling, invigorating track.
귀요미송하리(Hari)
The irresistibly cute “Gwiyomi Song” that makes you want to hum along.
This is a classic that’s well-known in otaku circles and is even called the original aegyo song.
It was released by Hari in 2013.
I’m sure many people swooned over idols showing off their cuteness to the music.
“Gwiyomi” means a cute person, and it’s said the song was created after Ilhoon, formerly of BTOB, showcased the choreography.
Despite its sweet vibe, the lyrics are surprisingly assertive—full of wishes and a bold “you’re mine” kind of feel (lol).
The gentle melody line and Hari’s vocals are adorable and incredibly heartwarming.
SHINY TRIPChi Changu
This is actor Ji Chang-wook’s third single, a gift to his fans in Japan.
Released in October 2024, it pairs a pop-electronic sound with a vibe that feels like enjoying a journey.
The refreshing melody is pleasant to the ear, and Ji Chang-wook’s warm vocals shine through.
The lyrics, themed around the bond with his fans, carry a sense of excitement for new adventures.
Give this charm-filled track a listen during your daily commute to work or school, or whenever you want a change of pace.
Teddy BearJINHO
This is a powerful song released in August 2024 by Jinho from South Korea.
It marks his Japanese solo debut as a member of PENTAGON and serves as the title track of his mini-album “CHO:RD.” The song paints a fairy-tale world detached from reality, using motifs like Cinderella and glass slippers to express a purity and innocence that remain even in adulthood.
Jinho’s gentle vocals bring a sense of comfort.
It’s a track that will soothe the hearts of those feeling worn out by everyday life.
IT’S OVERLEE HI (이하이)
These days, Lee Hi has a more mellow image with songs like BREATH, but on this track—her second single after debut—she presents an American pop-style world, and the playful back-and-forth with a slightly bad-boy teddy bear cast as her boyfriend is delightful.
On Korean stages like M Countdown and SBS Inkigayo, her outfits change every time and are super cute.
