A bright, upbeat Korean friendship song. A roundup of K-POP songs about friends (61–70)
Dream ItCATCH THE YOUNG
A pop-rock number themed around youthful energy and dreams, released in August 2024 by the Korean five-member boy band Catch The Young.
It’s a pleasant, upbeat tune with a retro sound that puts synthesizers front and center.
The song tells the story of young people striving to realize their dreams through virtual reality, carrying a positive and inspirational message.
It was also featured in the drama “My Friend’s Graduation Ceremony,” starring Kim Jung-hyun.
Fresh, breezy, and exhilarating—highly recommended for the younger generation!
My FriendCho PD
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.
내가 니편이 되어 줄게 I Will Be on Your SideCoffee Boy
Coffee Boy, known for his gentle singing voice, created “I Will Be on Your Side (내가 니편이 되어 줄게)” with crystal-voiced Na Haeun.
The song encourages a friend who’s feeling anxious, telling them they don’t need to worry about anything.
Why not use it as a message of support for a friend who’s far away? Also, it’s worth noting that the track has been getting renewed attention after being featured in a popular drama.
Highway 1009ENHYPEN
This is a song by the popular Korean group ENHYPEN, created as a token of gratitude to their fans.
All members took part in the production, and it drew attention especially because Heeseung was fully involved as a producer for the first time.
It’s a pop ballad featuring a warm melody and moving lyrics.
The bond with fans is likened to a “highway,” depicting a journey through life together.
Released in July 2024, it has become an important piece that deepens their connection with fans, being performed at encore shows on their FATE PLUS world tour.
It’s also a wonderful song to listen to while thinking of a dear friend.
My Buddy (기억해)GFRIEND
From its dazzling intro, this is a refreshingly poppy track that feels quintessentially GFRIEND.
It’s a fan song filled with love for BUDDY, the collective name for GFRIEND’s fans, and at the same time a piece that paints a picture of sunlit friendship.
The warm atmosphere that GFRIEND and BUDDY create together at live shows evokes a bright, clear future, as if we’re walking hand in hand.
It’s a masterpiece that never fails to move you, bringing to mind those friends who look out for you even in tough times.
