DNABTS
This is a refreshing track among BTS’s songs, featuring an impressive whistling sound.
It sings about a fated love, as if connected by DNA.
It’s catchy but mid-tempo, so it’s a song that’s relatively easy to try singing in Korean as well.
The rap parts are also comparatively simple, so why not give it a try in practice?

HUGTVXQ (also known as Tohoshinki; literally “Rising Gods of the East”)
“Hug” is the debut single released in 2004 by TVXQ, a group that enjoys immense popularity across Asia.
It captures the fresh charm of their five-member era.
This cute ballad is filled with a message of love and devotion to a sweetheart.
The acoustic tones and the five members’ harmonies are heartwarming.
While TVXQ’s dance tracks are captivating, their strength in vocal-centric songs like this is wonderful too.
