Stylish K-pop/Korean songs. Songs with a good vibe (1–10)
Palette Feat. G-DRAGONIU
She is one of the most popular and skilled female solo singers in Korea, often ranked at the very top.
Lately, she’s been appearing in dramas and variety shows, showcasing charms beyond just her singing.
Known to the public as the “Nation’s Little Sister,” she sings about her grown-up self in this song, conveying the allure of a mature woman.
She keeps getting more beautiful, and we just can’t take our eyes off her going forward.
We don’t talk together (Feat. 기리보이 (Giriboy)) (Prod. SUGA)Heize
This is the song that also drew attention for featuring BTS’s Suga, who took part in the lyrics, composition, piano, and overall production.
Heize originally made a name for herself on a rap battle reality show, but as she demonstrates in this track, she also has a natural singing voice and a wealth of musical talent.
With its chill R&B sound, the song pierces the heart with its nuanced portrayal of the emotions surrounding a breakup between a man and a woman.
Its uniquely soft, floaty mood makes it perfect for chilling out—a track you’ll want to replay over and over.
Blue HourTXT(TOMORROW X TOGETHER)
When it comes to stylish tracks, you can’t leave out “Blue Hour”! It’s the title song from TXT’s 2020 mini-album minisode1: Blue Hour.
The track centers on the blue hour—the time of day when you can capture dreamlike photos—and portrays moments spent with someone special.
Its disco sound blends refreshing breeziness with TXT’s unique character, making you swoon.
It feels especially nostalgic at dusk.
Listening to “Blue Hour” might make any moment feel special.
A romantic, magical song.
Hype BoyNewJeans
NewJeans carries the aspiration of becoming a timeless icon, like a pair of jeans you never tire of.
Their 2022 mini-album “New Jeans” features the track “Hype Boy.” Over a laid-back dance beat, a light, buoyant melody unfolds.
Their vocals—cute yet subtly sultry—convey an urban vibe.
Paired with soft, airy synth tones, it’s a track that will have your body swaying before you know it.
ButterfliesHearts2Hearts
An R&B number brimming with fluttering excitement and anticipation, evoking the sweetness of spring’s arrival.
It’s a track by Harts2Hearts, an eight-member girl group that debuted under SM Entertainment in February 2025.
Set at a mid-tempo pace, the song is marked by a rich bassline and striking guitar sounds.
Wrapped in the members’ gentle vocal harmonies, it delicately portrays the exhilaration and uncertainty of a budding romance.
Included on their debut single album, “The Chase.” In the music video, a chance meeting in the drama club and the members’ friendship are depicted, highlighting the song’s refreshing charm.
It’s a perfect track for the start of a new school term, a new chapter in life, or whenever you want to feel the coming of spring.
seoul (prod. HONNE)RM
This is a solo track by RM, the rapper who can be called the linchpin of BTS.
Within its subdued rap lies a kind of emotion—what you might call an “emo” feeling—that I think many young people will relate to.
The title “seoul” carries a double meaning: “soul” and the city of Seoul, the heart of Korea.
Interestingly, none of the BTS members are originally from Seoul; they all came from other regions.
I think it will resonate with anyone who left their hometown to chase something and work hard.
The images it evokes will differ from person to person, so I hope you listen to this song in your own way and enjoy it in a way that’s uniquely yours.
Lovers in the nightSeori
SORI gained popularity with her YouTube cover videos and made her debut in 2020 with the album “?depacse ohw.” She’s an up-and-coming artist supported by prominent stars like BTS’s Jungkook and BOL4’s Ahn Ji-young.
“Lovers in the night” is her second single, released in March 2021.
It’s a mature love song with a slightly different flavor from her previous work, exuding a bittersweet R&B mood.
Its sultry nostalgia is cool and stylish, making it a great pick for when you want to immerse yourself in a chic atmosphere.
