The music of Minoi, a solo singer from South Korea, truly resonates with the heart.

It’s a track from her album “This is my life,” released in July 2024, with lyrics written by Minoi herself.

“Maybe if,” which became a hot topic after being featured on the drama Our Beloved Summer’s OST, is a track by the versatile solo singer BIBI, who’s also active in many fields, including lyric writing for songs like TWICE’s “MORE & MORE.” Beyond the song’s poignant atmosphere that captures the drama’s protagonist, it also deeply resonates with the universal “what if” that everyone ponders at least once.

There are many reasons for breakups, aren’t there? Bathed in a mood steeped in regret and helplessness, the song wraps you in an emotional embrace.

STAYBLACKPINK

BLACKPINK – ‘STAY’ M/V

BLACKPINK is hugely popular not only in Asia but around the world.

Their bittersweet yet pop-tinged ballad “STAY” is a perfect example.

In the first half, over a simple guitar tone, they sing of hatred toward the man who hurt them and the love they still can’t let go of.

Then, in the latter half, the mood shifts dramatically: set to a bright melody with handclaps, they sing of their love for him.

The emo vibe seeps through.

You can sense the message not only from the lyrics but also from this modulation.

You (=I)BOL4

A mellow, wistful R&B-tinged track whose sweet, bittersweet emotions quietly resonate in the heart.

It’s a song included on BOL4’s 2016 album “RED PLANET.” While it adorably portrays the wavering feelings of a woman in love, an emotional mood also seeps through, making it perfect for times when you’re troubled by love or want to relax and unwind.

The acoustic sound and light, breezy melody create a soundscape that’s also great for nighttime drives or quiet moments.
