For those who want to get pumped up with a feel-good track, I recommend “My Friend.” This song is a collaboration between rapper Cho PD and R&B singer Insooni.
The main focus is the R&B sections performed by her, showcasing powerful vocals over a disco-inspired track.
The arrangement also features Cho PD’s rap parts placed at key moments.
While it’s an upbeat, high-energy song, the lyrics are actually straightforward and masculine in tone.

Park Jin-young’s “Graduation” was released in 1998, yet it remains a beloved classic to this day.
Graduating is a joyous milestone, but being separated from friends can also feel lonely.
In those moments, please listen to this song.
LUH! (Feat.SOLE)다희(DAHEE)
This is a track Dahy co-produced with her friend, R&B singer SOLE, featuring her as well, and released in 2020.
Its chill, relaxed vibe is wrapped in lyrics that gently reassure you: “Even as time passes and things change, it’s okay to be yourself.” It feels so heartwarming when someone notices even your small changes or tells you they’ll be there when you’re feeling down.
The song is full of that warmth.
Listening to “LUH! (Feat.
SOLE)” during a slow night might just make you want to call up a friend!

A friendship song from Korean artist Jin.
Released in October 2024 as a pre-release track from the album “Happy,” it features an upbeat rockabilly-inspired sound and a heartwarming message.
It’s a gentle song that reaches out to those feeling lonely, offering comforting words like “I’m here for you.” Jin’s warm vocals mesh perfectly with the band’s sound, delivering a boost of energy to listeners.

Passionate Goodbye ft. 성시경PSY
Released in 2012 as a track on Part 1 of the sixth album, Psy 6 (Six Rules).
It’s a remake of a classic song released in 2007 by Yoo Hee-yeol—also known as TOY—who’s familiar to many as a TV host.
The title, which means “A Hot Goodbye,” features lyrics that evoke memories of youthful days.
Keeping the emotional core intact, the arrangement gives it a more accessible, enjoyable feel.
It portrays the cathartic outpouring of a friend’s heartbreak, overlapping with the image of belting it out at karaoke.
While it reads as a breakup song from the singer’s perspective, it’s also recommended as a piece that transcends borders, offering companionship to a heartbroken friend.
