소유(SoYou) X 정기고(JunggiGo) – 썸(Some) feat. 긱스 릴보이 (Lil Boi of Geeks) M/V

In Korea, a man and woman whose relationship is ambiguously between friends and lovers are called “some” (sseom).

This song is a duet by Soyou of SISTAR and Junggigo that portrays such a couple.

With their clear, airy voices, they express the worry that comes with a delicate relationship and the desire to get closer.

HI SUHYUN – 나는 달라(I’M DIFFERENT) (ft.BOBBY) M/V

A song collaborated on by YG’s powerhouse female vocalists Lee Hi and Lee Su-hyun.

With confident lyrics like “You don’t get it—I’m not like other girls,” the track showcases a bold, powerful vocal performance.

iKON’s BOBBY is also featured with a rap verse, and the music video includes all three of them, creatively visualizing the song’s world with an engaging structure.

Day 1(오늘부터 1일)K.will

[MV] K.will(케이윌) _ Day 1(오늘부터 1일)

A popular song by the male solo singer K.Will.

It’s a confession song to a woman he has a crush on.

He expresses his feelings in a distinctly Korean way, like asking, “Why don’t we make today our Day 1?” He may not be flashy, but in his gentle voice he conveys the sincere feelings of a man who says he’ll devote himself to her more than anyone else.

마마무 (MAMAMOO) – Mr.애매모호 (Mr.Ambiguous) MV

There are also cases where the person you have a crush on won’t clearly tell you how they feel, right? That frustrating situation is what “Mr.

애매모호 (Mr.

Ambiguous)” sings about.

This is the debut single by MAMAMOO, known for their powerful vocals.

Set to an elegant, jazz-inspired melody, it voices a heartfelt cry toward the man who keeps toying with her feelings.

Be sure to pay attention to the sharp rap part in the latter half, too! By the way, the word “ambiguous” in the title means “vague” or “unclear.”

Why did I end up falling in love with you?TVXQ (also known as Tohoshinki; literally “Rising Gods of the East”)

Tohoshinki / Why Did I Fall in Love with You?

It’s a single released in Japan and a very popular song.

It’s a bittersweet song about regretting your past self—wondering “why didn’t I…”—after the person you love gets married and you can no longer be by their side.

Although TVXQ is now a duo, I really loved the beautiful harmonies of the five-member lineup.

A close, well-liked person you can’t bring yourself to confess to—if you have someone like that, you’ll definitely relate to this unrequited love song, “Good Person (좋은 사람).” It’s included on Toy, musician You Hee-yeol’s solo project, from the 2001 album “Fermata.” A classic covered by many artists, including TWICE’s Mina.

Even if we can’t be together, I’ll be fine on my own—the lyrics express the feeling that your beloved’s happiness is your own.

Pure emotions carried by a warm band sound.

It’s moving to hear the resolve to remain a “good person.”
