A duet song by AOA’s Jimin and EXO’s Xiumin.

It’s an irresistibly cute track about a girl who wants to be with him and a guy who’s holding back his true feelings even though he really wants to be with her.

The scene where she’s torn among so many “dads” is especially heartwarming.

The hashtag #OOTD, which Jimin uses for her solo project when posting her outfit of the day on social media, is included, signaling that she will continue to release a variety of music infused with Jimin’s unique color—raising expectations for her future activities.

CoffeeBTS

A song by BTS, the seven-member South Korean hip-hop group.

It opens with gentle guitar, bass, and a melt-in-your-mouth piano, then flows into rap.

You might expect aggressive rap, but it’s surprisingly easy to listen to, with a pop arrangement that many women may find heart-fluttering.

In the chorus, the members’ voices are both husky and tender, leaving a strong impression.

The song depicts a bittersweet love experience, like coffee—slightly bitter and wistful—and listening to it may bring back memories of your first love.

얼음깨 (Break Ice)Second Aunt KimDaVi, ITZY

This is a song released in July 2021 through a collaboration between ITZY—a group known for their girl-crush concept centered on being true to oneself, as seen in tracks like “WANNABE”—and the character “Second Aunt Kim Da-bi,” played by comedian Kim Shin-young.

It was created as part of the “How to Get Through 2021” project, with the aim of delivering encouragement to people going through tough times during the COVID-19 pandemic.

It’s a cheering song brimming with a fun vibe that captures the feel of summer; not only are the lyrics uplifting, but the unique sounds are adorable and encouraging as well.

Above all, it’s a track I recommend because it showcases so many of ITZY’s cute charms.

Almond Chocolate (Korean Ver.)ILLIT

A fresh and cute love song from the popular girl group ILLIT that likens feelings for a crush to sweet chocolate.

Starting from a one-sided admiration for an idol and before you know it slipping into love, it portrays that pure emotional shift like an unexpected flavor hidden in a confection.

Released in February 2025 and chosen as the theme song for the film “I Won’t Fall for Just a Pretty Face,” which opened in March of the same year, this is ILLIT’s first original song for the Japanese market.

Its appeal lies in a pop, catchy melody and an approachable sound infused with J-pop sensibilities.

It’s a perfect track to play when you want to feel the flutter of first love or wrap yourself in a warm tingle of excitement—be sure to give it a listen.

TVXQ’s memorable debut song.

Although TVXQ are now major artists, you can see the fresh, early days of the five members here.

Among them, the youngest, Changmin, was 16 at the time.

Former member Junsu—now of JYJ—used to say he was “as cute as a baby.”

It’s a heartwarming spring song from 2019, a collaboration between VIXX’s rapper RAVI and GFRIEND’s vocalist Eunha.

It sings about the fluttering feelings of falling in love and the excitement of time spent together.

The beautiful melody, Eunha’s sweet, melt-in-your-mouth vocals, and Ravi’s sharp rap-vocal interplay are charming and uplifting.

The dance is cute and has a warm, spring-like vibe! It would be fun to duet with a close chingu (friend), too!
