K-POP That Touches the Heart: Masterpiece Ballads by Korean Male Artists (101–110)

When it comes to Big Bang ballads, many people would probably name this song.

Cheers to the talent and sensibility of G-Dragon, a.k.a.

Jiyong, who created this timeless ballad that will never fade (lol).

The song expresses feelings toward someone after a breakup.

People often think, “If we break up, I won’t be able to live on my own,” and they grow sad as they dwell on happy memories.

But before you know it, you get used to being alone, and the memories begin to fade.

You might still wish to meet again, yet time passes in which you come to understand why you broke up, so to speak.

It’s a heartrending, relatable song.

With their group name written in kanji as “Hot-Blooded Young Men,” Yoryeolnama is an idol group that debuted in 2017 with a strong hip-hop flavor.

In 2018, members Taro, Kyuhyuk, and Jisang released this ballad as Tajihyuk.

It’s a song that brings to mind the phrase “a man in tears.” You can picture the back of a man enduring the pain as he remembers his ex-girlfriend.

In conclusion

Looking at it this way, I realized there are many kinds of ballads: not only gentle, mellow ones, but also songs with a bright atmosphere that somehow still quietly resonate in the heart.

They’re full of the appeal of expressive male vocalists whose emotions come through clearly even if you don’t understand the words.

I’d be so happy if you find a ballad that speaks to your heart.
