Billlie | ‘기억사탕’ M/V

This is the new song by the seven-member Korean girl group Billlie.

It was released as the title track of their mini album “appendix: Of All We Have Lost” in October 2024.

The lyrics, written by IU, are striking for their depiction of nostalgia and the fragility of memory.

Fragments of memories are likened to candy, expressing how they linger in the heart with a blend of sweetness and bitterness.

You can feel the resolve to look forward even while reflecting on the past.

It’s a song you’ll want to listen to when you feel like revisiting memories with someone dear.

This is their first new album in about a year and a half, and it also marks the members’ return.

It’s said to be imbued with the joy of reuniting with fans.

음악캠프 – Ahn Jae-wook – Friend, 안재욱 – 친구, Music Camp 20030419

“Friend,” beloved as a Korean friendship song, is a track released in 2003 by Ahn Jae-wook, who is active as both an actor and a singer.

It evokes the feelings of pursuing hobbies together, supporting each other toward dreams, and overcoming life side by side—sentiments that truly sink in the more you listen.

It also conveys gratitude to those who are always there for you, and may bring to mind not only close friends you’re connected with right now, but also friends you can’t see as often—those who make you wonder, “I hope they’re doing well.” It’s a song that makes you long for dear friends, along with an unchanging friendship.
