K-POP and Korean Summer Songs that Color and Hype Up the Season (41–50)
ISLANDWINNER
The four-member male group WINNER is so popular that there isn’t a K-pop fan who doesn’t know them! Their tropical rhythms make you want to sway your body.
At the same time, the refined electronic sound is super cool, making it perfect for summer parties! It’s a mid-tempo track, but the sharp rap at times is really cool!
ZooRed Velvet
Red Velvet, a five-member girl group under SM Entertainment, is an extremely popular group.
This track is a super stylish piece with an electro-dance sound that nails the current trends.
The mature-toned rap is cool, and the tropical rhythm—along with the whistling and animal-like sounds that pop in between—enhances the summery vibe.
It’s a laid-back summer song you can really groove to.
GashinaSUNMI
Here is Sunmi’s solo track released in 2017.
She’s a sexy yet cute woman with a powerful, captivating voice.
Sunmi debuted as a member of Wonder Girls in 2007 and made her solo debut in 2013.
Even after the group disbanded in 2017, she has continued to thrive as a solo artist.
The title “Gashina” in Korean plays on several meanings—such as “thorn,” “to leave,” and even nuances related to “flower”—and Sunmi sensually embodies a sharp, edgy woman in the song.
She`s BackINFINITE
An upbeat tune that’s also one of INFINITE’s early classics.
The soaring high notes feel great! It’s got a catchy ring that makes you want to hum along, boosting that sense of openness.
It really amps up summer with the vibe of eagerly waiting to spend time with someone you love and the excitement of fun times on the way! Just like in the music video, try playing it by the seaside or on a drive—make it your hot summer companion.
Save MEBTS
BTS is a hip-hop group that has been active since 2013.
Their mellow vocals are wonderful, and they’re especially overwhelmingly popular among women, aren’t they? While the song gives a calm and beautiful impression, the build-up before the chorus follows a classic dance-music structure that gradually ramps up the energy, making you want to start dancing as you listen.
The mic relay that showcases each member’s individuality is a must-hear.
LOVE SCENARIOiKON
It’s a dance-pop track based on hip-hop and such a classic that people of all ages back home know it.
By the way, they’re a seven-member boy group who debuted under YG Entertainment in 2015.
Among their songs, this one is the definitive hit—when you think of iKON, you think of this.
It captures those feelings of falling in love—painful, frustrating, unforgettable—set to a poppy melody.
Member B.I took part in composing it, and his talent is really impressive.
The title and repeated phrase “사랑을 했다” means “We fell in love,” but it apparently became popular among young people to turn it into parody lyrics like “I was late” or “I overslept” and sing along (lol).
Yes I amMAMAMOO
MAMAMOO is a music group with a glittering career that has won numerous music awards.
In Korea, they’re also popular as fashion leaders.
Their 2017 mini-album Purple includes Yes I am, a perfect track for anyone looking for a mood-boosting summer song.
It’s an exotic yet powerful dance tune.
You’ll swoon over their passionate vocals that convey a strong sense of determination.
How about spending your summer with this fiery track as your soundtrack?
