Under the name of ‘friend’김태우 ft. 손호영
“In the Name of Friendship,” sung by Kim Tae-woo and Son Ho-young, is a classic that expresses gratitude to irreplaceable friends.
It can feel a bit embarrassing to put those feelings into words, can’t it? Why not listen to this song and take the opportunity to share your everyday appreciation with your friends?
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!
친구라는 건 (with 김범수)paku-hyoshin
Singer-songwriter Park Hyo-shin collaborated with world-renowned singer Kim Bum-soo on the track “친구라는 건 (with 김범수).” The title means “What It Is to Be Friends” in Japanese, and the song explores what friendship is, weaving in various episodes.
You’ll likely find stories you can relate to as well.
Their passionate vocals and harmonies are also highlights.
Enjoy this star-studded collaboration.
Friend안재욱
“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.
My Song And…윤하 Younha
Isn’t it wonderful to have a friend who makes you feel like everything will be okay, no matter what happens? Someone you can laugh with over silly things and simply feel happy just being together.
“My Song and…” is a track that sings about unwavering love for such a friend.
It was released on Younha’s 2008 album “Someday,” and she’s well known for the hit song “Event Horizon.” Originally written for her fans, the song’s deep affection is truly moving.
With its gentle band ensemble, romantic lyrics, and emotionally stirring resonance, it feels like a song that speaks for eternal bonds and friendship.
친구야 사랑해한스밴드
A friendship song by a Hans band that was mainly active in the 1990s with a lineup of three sisters.
Set to a relaxed band sound, it conveys simple, heartfelt feelings toward a beloved friend.
Rather than being in the present tense, the lyrics feel more like looking back on memories with old friends—perhaps recalling student days when bonds deepened through the occasional argument.
All things considered, the fun memories remain so vivid, don’t they? Despite the bright vocals, there’s a faint hint of poignancy, but a friendship song like this can be nice once in a while.
Don’t think you’re alone.Kimu Bogyon
Kim Bo-kyung’s “Don’t Think You’re Alone” was also used as an OST for the drama School 2013.
When I listen to this song in tough times, the faces of friends who always support me come to mind.
Kim Bo-kyung’s vocal prowess is also noteworthy.
