좋겠다 (I Wish)SEVENTEEN

A medium-tempo number with a City Pop vibe, “I Wish (좋겠다)” is included on SEVENTEEN’s 2020 mini-album Heng:garæ.
The lyrics portray the ache of a love that goes misunderstood, and the contrast with the song’s brighter tone tugs at the heart.
When things don’t go well, we tend to blame ourselves or sink into gloom more than necessary.
This gentle yet heartrending gem seeps into those moments spent holding unreturned feelings and a small glimmer of hope.
The Moment My HeartBoramiyu

Singer-songwriter Boramiyu, who has gained support on YouTube for her cover videos and their clear, translucent tone, has released a single on December 21, 2025.
It’s a remake of the beloved ballad that Kyuhyun sang in 2020 as part of the OST for the webtoon “취향저격 그녀 (She is My Type).” The song captures the trembling heart just before confessing feelings to a crush, carried by delicate piano and string melodies.
Boramiyu’s conversational vocal delivery brings out a fresh, innocent charm distinct from the original.
With a warm sound that seems to melt into the crisp winter air, it’s sure to gently encourage anyone feeling timid about love.
It’s also perfect for listening alone on a quiet night.
180도 180 Degree벤 BEN

The lyrics saying “my feelings have turned 180 degrees” are very striking.
They pierce the heart.
It goes, “Your expression, your figure, your scent… the way I perceive everything has changed.” It’s a sad love song.
The singer is Ben, a former member of Bebe Mignon.
Since starting her solo career, she has released more R&B in a ballad style, and it’s been highly praised!
사랑할 수 없는 너에게 (Unable To Love)Doyoung (Doyon)

Doyoung from NCT sings “Unable To Love,” a graceful, heart-soaking unrequited love song.
Chosen as an OST for the web drama “Dear X Who Doesn’t Love Me,” which streamed on TVING, the track portrays feelings that don’t subside but only swell with time.
It’s a song for those who can’t confess and keep their affection in secret, and also for those whose longing deepens even when they’re together.
Carried by a piano melody, Doyoung’s beautiful high-tone voice heightens the poignancy.
Until It Reaches You (feat. Taka)JIN

This is a collaboration track by BTS’s Jin and ONE OK ROCK’s Taka.
It’s a pop-rock song grounded in British rock, with lyrics that express deepening feelings of love and Taka’s powerful vocals creating a fresh resonance.
Released in November 2024, the song is included on Jin’s first solo album, “Happy.” It portrays the heartache and inner conflict of unrequited love, and the frustration of feelings that don’t reach the other person, making it a work that delves deeply into Jin’s inner self.
Recommended for those who feel the imperfections of human relationships.
