This is the B-side track from Weki Meki’s first single, “Kiss, Kicks,” released in 2018.

While Weki Meki is often associated with a strong hip-hop image, this song is a friendship anthem sung over a warm, romantic melody.

Its message, filled with gratitude for the days they’ve shared and a heartfelt “let’s keep going together,” resonates gently.

What kind of person is your best friend? Listening to “Dear.” will likely make you want to reach out—not only to your closest friends now, but also to an old best friend who comes to mind.

It’s a song I’d like to recommend to anyone torn between affection and friendship.

Let its wistful yet gentle sound soothe your heart.
