To My AdolescenceAka-hoho Shishunki (BOL4)
A healing song by Bolbbalgan4 that wraps the delicate emotions of adolescence in acoustic tones.
It carefully traces the heart’s journey from days tormented by loneliness and self-denial to discovering hope over time.
Included on the September 2017 album “Red Diary Page.1,” this track made the TOP 10 at the Melon Music Awards—Korea’s largest music awards—for three consecutive years.
Alongside crystalline vocals, it lays bare the complex feelings of sensing parental love yet being unable to accept it straightforwardly, and the image of young people fearful of others’ gaze.
When you feel on the verge of losing yourself, listening to this song will surely let a ray of hope shine into a heart filled with loneliness and anxiety.
It’s OkayBTOB
A group renowned for their ballads, BTOB included this track on their first full-length album, “Complete,” released in 2015.
From the beautiful choral work to the warm words and the members’ vocals, it seeps into a weary heart.
The rap section in the middle will resonate perfectly with days when nothing goes right and with the feeling of being completely lost.
Just as there are lives saved by music, the lyrics layered with BTOB’s message of “It’s okay,” and that last line of the chorus—it’s irresistibly moving.
It’s a wonderful classic that stands by the everyday life of anyone, not just those chasing their dreams.
Magic ShopBTS
A mid-tempo track included on the 2018 album LOVE YOURSELF 轉 ‘Tear’.
It’s also a fan song primarily produced by Jungkook and is one of their most beloved tracks.
The lyrics, which question oneself and reach out a hand to those who are hurt, really resonate.
When you listen to it while feeling down, the warm light shining within its dreamlike world may bring you to tears.
Through their music, the members of BTS stay by your side like friends or family, gently enveloping and melting away your pain.
StarsRothy
Rosie’s “Stars” is a song I hope you’ll listen to when you’ve lost sight of where you’re headed.
If you’ve been pushing yourself too hard or you’re feeling worn out, why not take a break and give “Stars” a listen? Rosie’s clear, radiant voice will resonate deeply in your heart.
Tunnel(터널)SEJEONG
This is a solo song by Sejeong, a member of the girl group Gugudan.
In this track, she showcases her clear, beautiful high notes.
The tunnel in the title is dark and cold, and sometimes it feels impossible to get out.
We all experience periods or moments like that in life, don’t we? But this song tells us that there’s a bright exit at the end of the tunnel.
A lover is someone who wants to support and encourage you when times are tough.
It’s a gentle, heartwarming song that cheers on a loved one—something you’ll want to give to someone special.
