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

오래된 노래Standing Egg

Standing EGG – 『오래된 노래』

The mid-tempo ballad “Old Song,” wrapped in a nostalgic atmosphere, is a track by the project group Standing Egg—known for drawing attention with their acoustic-based sound and guest vocal features—released in 2012.

Its warm vibe and comforting melody make it soothing to sing.

The lyrics, inspired by hearing a song in the city and thinking anew about someone important, seem likely to resonate even more when performed.

It’s great for a focused solo karaoke session, but it’s also a universal piece that transcends generations and situations!

고백Hot Potato

뜨거운감자(Hot Potato) – 고백

“Confession” by Hot Potato is a male vocal song that’s relatively easy to sing even for those who struggle with low notes.

Its tempo isn’t too fast or too slow, and you can sing while clearly feeling the steady rhythm in the background, making it a recommended track for people who aren’t confident in their sense of rhythm.

I really like you.Jewerly

[MV HD 720p] 쥬얼리 (Jewelry) – 니가 참 좋아

As the title suggests, Jewelry’s “I Really Like You” is a song that expresses feelings for someone you love.

It has an easy-to-follow rhythm and a narrow vocal range, making it a karaoke-friendly number.

Recommended if you enjoy bright, upbeat songs.

보고싶다김범수

Kim BumSoo – I Miss You | 김범수 – 보고싶다 [Yu Huiyeol’s Sketchbook]

A heartfelt ballad by Kim Bum-soo, sung carefully and tenderly over a gently resonant piano, that seeps into the soul.

It was the theme song for the drama Stairway to Heaven, which became so popular in Korea that its ratings surpassed even Winter Sonata.

It really stirs the emotions.

When you feel lonely, it makes you want to sing your heart out with all the aching feelings.

In JOYSOUND’s K-POP karaoke rankings, it placed 14th in 2019 and 10th in the first half of 2020.

In Korea, it’s considered a much-loved, classic ballad.

[Ballad] 임현정 – 사랑은 봄비처럼… 이별은 겨울비처럼…

Lim Hyun-jung’s “Love Is Like Spring Rain, Parting Is Like Winter Rain” is, as the title suggests, a song about love and farewell.

With its calm tempo, it’s an easy track to sing even for those who find up-tempo songs challenging.

입장정리Primary

프라이머리(Primary) – ‘입장정리 (Feat. 최자, Simon D)’ M/V

Primary’s songs are really cool, aren’t they? For someone who loves rap like you, I recommend “Position Sorting” for karaoke—it’s easy to sing.

The chorus has a catchy melody that’s easy to remember.

Choi Ja and Simon D’s cool vocals will make you fall in love at first listen.

I’m in loveRa. D

Ra.D – I’m In Love [Yu Huiyeol’s Sketchbook]

For those of you who want to sing a calm ballad, I recommend Ra.

D’s “I’m in love.” It doesn’t have a wide vocal range, so you can sing it comfortably and enjoyably.

It’s simple, but be sure to appreciate the beautiful piano accompaniment as well.
