Korean karaoke songs: Beloved tunes from popular ballads to K-pop (1–10)
Best Of MeNEW!BTS
It’s a bright electronic dance music track for which RM mainly devised the lyrical direction.
RM highly praised Jimin’s high notes, and it’s said to be an important song that broadened BTS’s musical range at the time.
There are many English lyrics as well, but it shouldn’t be difficult if you simply follow along with the words.
Also, since the song itself is a bright, refreshing love song, lifting your facial muscles as you sing will make your vocal tone brighter and help you produce high notes and falsetto more easily.
Try adjusting your vibe to match the song as you sing.

A ballad-style song wrapped in a nostalgic atmosphere.
It’s a piece by the Korean indie band Standing Egg, released in October 2013.
Its gentle acoustic sound and tender melody resonate deeply.
Sparked by a song that holds shared memories with a lover, the lyrics softly weave a wish for reunion, where poignancy and warmth coexist.
This work has a timeless charm and has long been loved in Korea.
It’s a recommended track for moments when you want to savor your feelings for someone special or spend time in calm and peace.
I`m Firefly (나는반딧불)Hwang Karam (황가람)
A heartwarming ballad by Hwang Garam, a singer-songwriter active in South Korea, themed around self-awareness and self-affirmation.
Blending a melodious tone with an indie sensibility, it has a unique charm that gently conveys the importance of shining in your own way, even as a small presence.
Since its digital release in October 2024, it has been performed on shows such as MBC’s “What Do You Do When You Shoot?” and KBS’s “Music Bank,” continuing to captivate audiences into 2025.
A song that supports those who value their individuality or are in the midst of self-discovery.
Its retro vibe and refined sound deliver a moving resonance that touches the heart.
모든 날, 모든 순간 (Every Day, Every Moment)폴킴
A slow ballad released by Paul Kim in 2018.
Featured on the soundtrack of the drama “The Third Charm,” it became a big hit and greatly expanded his recognition.
Even if you don’t know Paul Kim, you might know this song.
It’s a love song about staying by someone’s side.
Translating the title into Japanese gives “Subete no Hi, Subete no Shunkan” (“Every Day, Every Moment”), which truly feels imbued with heartfelt emotion.
It has been popular at karaoke for many years, offering a soothing sense of comfort.
It’s recommended not only for those who enjoy gentle, calming music, but also as a musical gift to someone special.
Let’s Say Goodbye (헤어지자 말해요)Parc Jae Jung (박재정)
Park Jae-jung, a Korean ballad singer.
This song portrays the complex feelings of a man who can’t bring himself to initiate a breakup, carried by a voice that is both delicate and powerfully expressive.
You’ll be drawn into a poignant world woven from deep compassion for the other person, regret, and lingering attachment.
Included as the lead track on the April 2023 album “Alone,” it’s also loved as a karaoke favorite in ballad-loving Korea.
Highly recommended for anyone who can relate to the bittersweet blend of kindness and pain that accompanies a parting in love.
