[K-POP] Korean songs you’ll want to sing at karaoke: All-time favorite hits (61–70)
ELEVEN (Japanese ver.)ive
It was a massive hit in Korea and has been released in a Japanese version, so even K-pop beginners can handle the lyrics steadily.
I mostly remember hearing it on cable radio, and the chorus kind of stuck in my ears.
There are many places where the melody line is sharply cut, so the key is to keep the rhythm from slipping.
Since there are also bouncy rhythms, it helps to use your body well and keep a fine, precise pulse.
Also, the section before the chorus slows down, then it picks up speed from the chorus, so be careful not to rush the tempo.
If you consciously sing with a bright tone at all times, you can switch more easily without your pitch dropping, even when the rhythm or melody changes!
Shoot OutMONSTAX
MONSTA X’s single “Shoot Out (Japanese ver.)” was released on March 27, 2019, and proved its popularity in Japan by reaching No.
2 on the Oricon Daily Singles Chart.
Characterized by its energetic beat and dynamic melody, it’s sure to hype up any crowd! With its breathless progression, listeners will be drawn into the song’s story and find themselves wanting to sing along.
Set to powerful lyrics, it’s a perfect choice for letting your emotions run free and belting it out with friends.
With this release, immerse yourself fully in the group’s passionate world.
TTTwice
At this point, adding more words in a review almost feels embarrassing—doesn’t it need no further explanation? This is the song that sparked the huge craze for the “TT pose,” mimicking the crying emoji.
Along with this track, TWICE’s recognition in Japan shot up.
The Japanese version, with its “Why don’t you notice my feelings…?” vibe, is exceptionally cute.
It’s a song you can enjoy in both the Korean and Japanese lyrics.
And of course, don’t forget the TT pose when you sing it at karaoke!
DolphinOH MY GIRL
OH MY GIRL debuted in 2015 as an eight-member idol group.
After member JinE left, they have continued activities as a seven-member group.
Their song “Dolphin,” known for its catchy repeated ‘da’ in the chorus, is guaranteed to get the crowd going at karaoke.
The story-like music video—where they wander around searching for a golden apple or something—has an irresistibly cute, feel-good vibe.
It’s a must-see.
They haven’t toured in Japan since 2019, so fans and non-fans alike are eagerly waiting!
COSMOPENTAGON
PENTAGON is a nine-member male vocal group born from the Korean debut reality show “PENTAGON MAKER.” It seems the members aren’t only from Korea—there are also members from Japan and China.
This is a cool track that embodies contemporary K-POP with an electro-dance sound, soaring high-tone vocals, and sharp rap.
Be sure to check out their highly polished choreography, too!
EnergeticWanna One
A debut song that could be called Wanna One’s legend.
It’s insanely cool, right? It’s a track that captures the excitement of moments spent with a lover, and it’ll make your heart race whether you sing it or listen to it.
It even ranked 11th in JOYSOUND’s 2019 annual karaoke rankings in the K-POP category.
Minhyun’s beautiful opening line is a highlight.
It starts low, but his high tones explode right before the chorus, so it’s especially recommended for women.
It’s also fun to team up with friends to tackle the tricky parts!
Permission to DanceBTS
Permission to Dance encouraged people around the world with its message of valuing the feelings that well up from within and its open, liberating vocal work.
It’s a 2021 dance-pop tune that also made headlines for being provided by Ed Sheeran.
