[K-POP] Korean Songs You’ll Want to Sing at Karaoke: All-Time Favorite Hits (11–20)
ORANGETREASURE
This song is included on TREASURE’s third single, THE FIRST STEP: CHAPTER THREE, released in 2020 by the vibrantly captivating group.
It’s a mid-tempo track that captures the lingering feelings on the way home after spending time together.
The song was written and composed by ASAHI, one of the Japanese members.
Its slightly bittersweet emotion overlaps with an orange-hued scene in this ballad, and its lyrical melody makes it one of the easier songs to sing within TREASURE’s catalog.
The unison at the end is beautiful and moving, so it’s also great for singing along and enjoying with friends or a partner.
APT.ROSÉ & Bruno Mars
A collaboration track between ROSÉ from BLACKPINK and American pop star Bruno Mars.
Released in October 2024, it created huge buzz as the lead single from ROSÉ’s solo album “rosie.” Riding a pop-punk rhythm, ROSÉ’s aggressive vocals and Bruno’s soulful singing blend into a perfect harmony.
The lyrics, inspired by a Korean drinking game, bring an unbeatable party vibe that’s perfect for karaoke.
It’s an amped-up song you can fully enjoy with friends, a partner, or even on your own!
Sudden ShowerEclipse
A band born from a drama, ECLIPSE.
The song they perform is a ballad distinguished by a warm yet wistful sound woven by piano and guitar.
It gently embraces the thrill of a love that arrived like a sudden summer shower and the pain it brings, carrying a message that leads toward hope.
Released in April 2024 through the EP “Lovely Runner OST Part 1,” the track colored the story as the theme song of the drama “Lovely Runner” (also known as “Carry Sunjae and Run”) and sparked a major response, including winning Best OST at the Melon Music Awards.
Its beautiful melody and relatable lyrics make it perfect for singing with feeling at karaoke.
With the drama’s emotion in your heart, you might enjoy singing it while thinking of someone special.
Supernovaaespa
aespa is a girls’ group drawing attention with their unique worldview and captivating songs.
This track is one of the double title songs included on the May 2024 album “Armageddon.” The lyrics express both cosmic grandeur and individual strength, paired with an impressive blend of electropop and spacey sounds.
Its sampling of “Planet Rock” has also become a hot topic.
It set a new all-time record on Korea’s MelOn chart by holding the No.
1 spot for 15 consecutive weeks, making it one of the defining tracks of K-pop in 2024.
With its addictive rhythm and catchy chorus, it’s sure to fire up any karaoke session, and its energetic vibe makes it perfect for having fun with friends.
Boy With Luv (Japanese ver.)NEW!BTS
The opening is crucial in “Boy With Luv (Japanese ver.).” This time it’s the Japanese version, but it still has a lot of English lyrics and carries an emotional vibe comparable to the Korean version.
That said, I think the Japanese version is easier to sing.
Since each member’s melody line is clearly divided, it’s good to practice by going over each individual melody carefully.
If your opening wavers, you’ll lose the pitch, so make sure to come in clearly.
Prepare your voice during the intro and hit the A4 solidly—if you do, you should be able to continue singing comfortably afterward.
ELEVEN (Japanese ver.)NEW!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!

A song marked by the allure of dark hip-hop and an irresistibly catchy hook.
You can’t help but be captivated by BABYMONSTER’s cool style.
It’s the title track from their April 2024 mini-album “BABYMONS7ER,” characterized by a grand sound woven from baroque-style piano and synthesizers.
Packed with the diverse charms of all seven members, this release is guaranteed to be a hit at karaoke.
The choreography is fun and highly addictive, making it perfect to enjoy with friends.
A masterpiece of next-generation K-pop that lets you fully experience the talents of its members from Korea, Japan, and Thailand.
