[K-POP] Korean songs you’ll want to sing at karaoke: classic crowd-pleasers

LALALAYSUNMI

[MV] SUNMI(선미) _ LALALAY(날라리)

A track that shines a spotlight on the heart of a hyped-up party girl.

This party girl throws parties every night and seems, at first glance, to be living her best life.

But there’s also a sense of emptiness lurking in her heart.

To ordinary people, it might just look like she’s being loud and obnoxious, but she’s actually dealing with a lot of complex feelings.

If you try singing it, your impression of party people might change a little.

Shall We?CHEN

CHEN 첸 ‘우리 어떻게 할까요 (Shall we?)’ MV

A supremely sweet and romantic song by EXO’s CHEN.

It sings about the exchanges between lovers at night.

The charm of this track lies in its relaxed tempo and rhythm, and its enveloping atmosphere.

Above all, CHEN’s gentle vocals shine.

It’s easy to sing whether you’re a woman or a man, even if you’re not familiar with Korean.

With its calm melody, it’s also great for expressing emotion!

NOBODYWONDER GIRLS

Wonder Girls “NOBODY (Kor. Ver)” M/V

Tracing it back, they were the ones who kicked off the K-pop idol boom, right? This song, “NOBODY,” has a retro vibe, and the “tan-ta-tan” rhythm that runs through the whole track feels so good you’ll want to listen to it over and over—and sing it again and again! Be sure to copy the pointing “you” gesture at karaoke, too.

If you’re going to perform it, gather four members and sing it as a group! And when you think of Wonder Girls, their smash hit “Tell Me” also comes to mind.

Don’t miss that one, either!

woo!ah!woo!ah!

[MV] woo!ah!(우아!) _ woo!ah! (우아!)

The song has the same title as the group! Woo!ah! is a rookie girls’ group to watch in 2020, featuring Japanese member Sora.

The catchy melody and fun rhythm really amp things up! Above all, I love how familiar and easy it is to sing along to.

Even if you don’t know them, I hope you’ll give this feel-good track a try.

Wooyeon’s part has a charming, slightly mysterious tone that makes you want to hum along.

I think it’s a song that will appeal not only to K-pop fans but to a wide audience!

PinwheelSEVENTEEN

Pinwheel (Japanese ver.)

If you want to sing a poignant love ballad, we recommend “Pinwheel (Japanese ver.).” This is the Japanese version of “Pinwheel,” which is included on their second album, TEEN, AGE.

Since the lyrics have been completely replaced with Japanese, it should be easy to sing even for those who aren’t familiar with Korean.

Also, songs translated into Japanese often end up cramming in too many words and become hard to sing, but this one has been adapted in a very natural way.

Pretty USEVENTEEN

[M/V] SEVENTEEN(세븐틴) – 예쁘다 (Pretty U)

Getting lively with up-tempo songs is one of the true joys of karaoke, isn’t it? In that spirit, I’d like to recommend “Pretty U.” It’s a track from the album LOVE & LETTER, known for its exhilarating, fast-paced sound.

Paired with lyrics that portray an optimistic crush, it’s sure to boost your energy when you sing it.

Although it’s a relatively fast, quick-spoken song, it uses many simple words, so it should be easy to sing.

Just note that English parts are mixed in, so pay a bit of extra attention.
