[Cute Korean Songs] K-POP used on TikTok

POPS writer/editorKEI
Since discovering music during my school days, I’ve mainly listened to Japanese and Korean pop. I have experience writing articles for sites like Utaten. 2000s J-pop and 2010s K-pop were especially the soundtrack of my youth. With the mindset that “good is good,” I enjoy music across genres. Thanks to past work environments and their influence, I was exposed to lots of classic rock and kayōkyoku (Japanese popular songs), which may have broadened the scope of what I love. At RAG MUSIC, I currently focus on K-pop and J-pop. I strive to edit with a feel for the scene and an eye for hit potential.

Lovely music that adds color to your videos.

In the Reiwa era, TikTok is also popular as an easy way to enjoy music on social media.

We’ve put together a collection of cute Korean songs that perfectly match its friendly culture.

These days, many people discover songs on TikTok and then dive deeper into them, don’t they?

The sweet vibes of the tracks and the uniquely Korean, cute lyrics are great too!

They’re full of charm and idol appeal.

Some even sparked trending choreographies, so feel free to dance along and have fun!

Every slice of a BOL4 song just feels good, doesn’t it? Beyond the undeniable quality of the track itself, it also became popular on TikTok through easy-to-copy finger-dance challenge videos.
