Stylish K-pop and Korean songs. Songs with a nice vibe.

POPS writer/editorKEI
Since discovering music during my school days, I’ve mainly listened to Japanese and Korean pop. I have experience writing articles for sites like Utaten. 2000s J-pop and 2010s K-pop were especially the soundtrack of my youth. With the mindset that “good is good,” I enjoy music across genres. Thanks to past work environments and their influence, I was exposed to lots of classic rock and kayōkyoku (Japanese popular songs), which may have broadened the scope of what I love. At RAG MUSIC, I currently focus on K-pop and J-pop. I strive to edit with a feel for the scene and an eye for hit potential.

K-pop has become familiar as a standard.

The more you come to love Korean music, the more you get drawn into its vivid colors and exquisitely balanced worlds.

Beyond cutting-edge styles, the retro moods and time-honored charms are delightful, too.

In recent years, even idol groups have been actively incorporating stylish, trend-forward elements, and it feels like there are more easy-to-listen-to melodies as well.

In this article, we’ve carefully selected a variety of songs that capture Korea’s stylish vibe.

Be sure to find tracks that match your taste and have fun with them!

RIIZE 라이즈 ‘Get A Guitar’ MV

Get A GuitarRIIZE

This is RIIZE’s debut single, which drew attention as SM Entertainment’s first boy group in seven years since NCT.

It was released in September 2023.

It includes former NCT members and the Japanese member Shotaro.

The song’s funky guitar rhythm feels great, and while the melody has a stylish, contemporary flair, it somehow calls to mind Michael Jackson’s music and gentle old-school pop.

Combined with a “let’s dance together” vibe reminiscent of BTS’s Dynamite and Butter, it creates a fun, uplifting mood.

It’s a masterpiece that will likely stand as the starting point for their rise to stardom.
