A song by PlayV announced in February 2024.
Its sound exudes a soft rock vibe, with lyrics and composition by the members themselves shining through.
Although they’re a Korean virtual boy group that debuted in March 2023, this track achieved the remarkable feat of taking their first No.
1 on the music show “Show Champion.” The romantic lyrics, themed around a journey in search of love, are striking and evoke a cinematic storyline.
It’s the perfect song for sinking into the feeling of being in love, wrapped in PlayV’s warm vocals.

A sixth digital single by Thai solo artist SORN, released in February 2024 to coincide with Valentine’s Day.
With an uptempo pop sound, it playfully captures the sweetness of young love.
It’s the first song SORN has written about romance, themed around “confessing to someone you’ve fallen for.” Featuring a light, catchy melody, it conveys the thrill and sweetness of new love.
Formerly a member of CLC, SORN continues to steadily grow as a solo artist.
It’s a recommended track for those in long-distance relationships or anyone about to embark on a new romance.
Square (2017)Yerin Baek
When it comes to female artists known for good music and stylish tracks, of course IU comes to mind, but I’m sure many people also think of Baek Yerin.
In Korea, her song “Square (2017)” became the first English-lyric track to reach No.
1.
It has a refined, mellow sound that’s perfect for nighttime moods.
The lyrics say, “No one truly knows who I am, but if you love me, I’ll become everything to you.” There’s a touch of melancholy, but the chorus carries a warm, companionable message of spending the night together.
The sentimental melody and Baek Yerin’s vocals make your heart tighten.
It’s a truly wonderful song—please give it a listen.
ElevatorBAEKHYUN
In May 2025, Baekhyun released a track that skillfully blends pop and R&B elements.
Using the up-and-down motion of an elevator as a motif, the song expresses both the exhilaration and the instability of romance, and was created in collaboration with the popular Korean artist Colde.
Featured as the title track of the mini-album “Essence of Reverie,” it showcases Baekhyun’s delicate sensibility and expressive vocals, gently embracing the subtle emotions of being in love.
It’s a perfect song for those in the midst of a relationship, accompanying feelings where fluttering excitement and tender heartache intersect.
ApocalypseBiBi
A track with a philosophical worldview where creation and destruction intersect.
It’s the lead single from Korean R&B singer-songwriter and actor BIBI’s second album, “EVE: ROMANCE,” slated for release in May 2025.
The apocalyptic atmosphere unfolding amid heavy beats and a dreamlike soundscape is striking.
Its appeal also lies in the profound lyrics themed around the duality of good and evil and the choices we make in life.
In the music video, a desolate world and a blazing apple tree are depicted symbolically, resulting in a visually story-driven work.
It’s a perfect song for those who want to immerse themselves in a narrative-rich piece.

A love song from Minho that pierces the heart.
Active as a member of SHINee, he’s releasing his first full album in November 2024.
