ITZY’s “WANNABE” is wildly popular as a dance track, and many people have been encouraged by its message above all.

It’s a song whose strength lifts you up just by singing it! Of course it’s perfect for hyping things up, but even when you’re feeling down, it gives you the courage to be yourself and start walking forward again.

The rhythm has lots of intricate movements, so some parts may be tricky to sing, but just sing it as you are—just like the song’s message.

You’ll feel the joy of music!

A sweet and energetic song about the beginning of love by BTS.

To sing it well, imagine you’ve fallen in love and you’re heading straight toward the person.

The song captures the moment when love begins, but it also hides a very strong desire to be with the other person, like in “DNA.” For the rap parts, pour in that overflowing passion—try delivering it with intensity.

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 pop song that compares summer love to candy.

It’s actually impossible to sing while holding candy in your mouth (haha).

Imagine a love that’s as addictive as candy.

Once you taste something sweet, you just want more and more, right? In the same way, think about what kind of person you find yourself desperate to have.

That kind of imagination will give you hints when you sing.

BTS used to have many songs that felt like they were charging ahead at the cutting edge of club music with hard-hitting, aggressive rap.

Lately, though, there’s been an increase in songs like “Dynamite” and “Butter” that even non-heavy fans can sing along to easily.

This mid-tempo track is also on the easier side among BTS’s songs, and splitting the vocal and rap parts for a duo performance looks really cool! RM, also known as Rap Monster, handles many of the rap sections, and his rap in this song that depicts “rain” is absolutely superb! Be sure to enjoy the sound of Korean as you sing along.
