ATEEZ(에이티즈) – ‘INCEPTION’ Official MV

A song by ATEEZ released in July 2020.

It’s included on the album ZERO : FEVER Part.

1.

Set in a dreamlike world, the song wanders in search of love and a time we can’t return to.

Based on EDM, ATEEZ’s signature sexiness and energetic performance amplify those helpless, pent-up feelings, making it all the more heartrending.

It’s about being unable to let go of a love that has ended.

When we think of sad songs, ballads often come to mind, but this style that lets emotions explode is a unique charm of boy groups, don’t you think?

GoodbyeEun Gaeun

[MV] Eun Gaeun(은가은) _ Goodbye(헤어지자는 말에 이유를 찾았어)

A love song released in January 2019 by vocalist Eun Ga-eun, who captivates listeners with her alluring vocal range and rich expressiveness.

It’s an emotional ballad that seems to warmly envelop fans’ ears.

After a breakup, it conveys the sorrowful feeling of never forgetting the affectionate moments shared.

The track expresses sadness by harmonizing a grand-scale sound and sweet piano tones with Eun Ga-eun’s uniquely charming timbre and sensitivity.

It’s alright This is LoveDavichi

It′s Okay, That′s Love

Don’t you ever feel a bittersweet ache when you fall in love? That’s why I’d like to introduce “It’s Alright This Is Love.” It’s a piece by the musical duo Davichi.

The lyrics are woven from repeated self-questioning: What does it mean to love someone? Why does it make your chest tighten? Give it a listen and let your mind wander through the reasons for those feelings.

You’ll also be soothed by the piano’s timbre and their crystal-clear vocals.

LOVEDRUNKEpik High, Crush

EPIK HIGH (에픽하이) – 술이 달다 (LOVEDRUNK) ft. CRUSH [Official MV]

Is it a pun? LOVED, DRUNK—that is, a love song about alcohol, with the Japanese title “Sake ga Amai” (literally, “The Liquor Is Sweet”).

It sounds cool and understated, but the content is about a girl trying to forget a heartbreak with alcohol, capturing her bittersweet feelings.

Many people have experienced being “unsteady on their feet” or having their “head spin,” but probably fewer have felt that way specifically because of a breakup.

The much-talked-about music video is unique and eye-catching, too.

The woman who appears is the singer IU—an artist even Gen Hoshino has his eye on—and in the video she’s fighting someone.

It’s likely a metaphor; perhaps it was difficult to directly depict the state of being drunk.

Say My NameMIYEON

미연 (MIYEON) ‘Say My Name’ Official Music Video

In her solo activities in November 2025, Miyeon delivered a pop ballad steeped in the lingering afterglow of a farewell.

While she’s known for dynamic tracks with (G)I-DLE, this title song from her second solo mini-album, “MY, Lover,” layers a clear, pure vocal over the spacious interplay of delicate piano melodies and a rhythmic beat, richly portraying the call of a loved one that doesn’t fade even after parting.

The lingering memory of a name that echoes like reverb, and a sense of time that drifts between dreams and reality, are carefully woven together, conveying a moving stance of acceptance rather than actively trying to forget.

The beauty of her vocal delivery stands out against the understated accompaniment, precisely because it is stripped of excessive ornamentation.

It’s a song you’ll want to play on a long autumn night.
