Tickling your tear ducts! A collection of emotional and heartwarming K-pop tearjerker songs

What If Love (Touch your heart(진심이 닿다) OST Part.3)WENDY (웬디)

[MV] WENDY(웬디) _ What If Love (Touch your heart(진심이 닿다) OST Part.3)

Released in 2019, this track served as an OST for the drama “Touch Your Heart.” The repeating hook in the chorus is memorable, and listening to it makes your heartbeat quicken with excitement.

It seems to perfectly match the feeling of gradually falling in love despite some hesitation, and the lyrics capture that atmosphere as well.

Wendy’s comforting low tones and crystal-clear high notes are beautifully balanced, making the song even more moving.

It’s a highly recommended track for when you’re in love, of course, but also for when you just want to be moved by great music!

Every Day, Every Moment(모든 날, 모든 순간)Paul Kim(폴킴)

폴킴 (Paul Kim) – 모든 날, 모든 순간 (Every Day, Every Moment) [가사 비디오]

A 2018 song that became part of the OST for the drama “Shall We Kiss First?” (Part 3).

Built on a gently soothing melody, it grabs your heart with Paul Kim’s sweet, delicate, yet powerful vocals—he’s even called the “eardrum boyfriend.” It also shows a reassuring side, promising, “You protected me; now I’ll protect you.” Hearing that would make anyone feel strong and at ease, right? It’s a beautiful ballad that makes you want to hear it live.

Apparently, it was the most-streamed track in 2019.

One Of These NightsRed Velvet

Red Velvet 레드벨벳 ‘7월 7일 (One Of These Nights)’ MV

The concept is Tanabata, reflected in the Korean title “July 7th,” and there’s an official comment stating it portrays Orihime and Hikoboshi, who can only meet once a year.

However, there are also rumors that it might be a memorial song for the Sewol ferry disaster.

I think Red Velvet’s clear, translucent vocals further accentuate the song’s poignancy.

너 나 우리 / Would You Marry Me? (feat. 이준 & 윤두준 of 하이라이트 & 광희)Jeon Yonghwa (Jon Yonfa)

정용화 (JUNG YONG HWA) – ‘너, 나, 우리 (Feat. 이준, 윤두준 of 하이라이트, 광희)’ MV

With its light, airy melody and soothing atmosphere, this is a proposal song that gently loosens the heart.

It’s an adorable, heartwarming track about loving someone more with each passing day.

Yonghwa’s sweet, relaxed vocals are just the best! Instead of the kind of overwhelming emotion that surges in a heartrending ballad, this gives you a different, equally moving feeling.

It’s a warm number that fills your heart with a soft thrill, making a leisurely night or time with someone special feel truly special.

SceneryV

풍경

“Scenery” is a solo song by V, who is also known as a member of BTS, the globally popular Korean male group.

In contrast to his work with BTS, this track is a grand ballad with an acoustic feel.

It offers a fantastical, cinematic world that makes you feel as if you’ve stepped into a movie—be sure to give it a listen.

GondryHYUKOH

[MV] hyukoh(혁오) _ Gondry(공드리)

If you’re looking for a moving, winter-themed ballad, I recommend “Gondry.” It’s performed by Hyukoh, a Korea-born band that’s active on the global stage.

The song has a stylish pop-rock vibe with an appealing, laid-back rhythm.

The music video—featuring mostly snowy visuals—is beautiful as well, so be sure to check it out.

012.Oh My Girl (오마이걸) – 한 발짝 두 발짝 (One step two steps) (Audio) [3rd Mini Album “Pink Ocean”]

This is a song that B1A4’s Jinyoung gave to his juniors at the agency, OH MY GIRL.

It’s a track that brings out OH MY GIRL’s signature girlish charm.

The song expresses the wish to keep from growing distant from the one you love.
