K-pop songs about unrequited love you can’t help but relate to! Tracks where the heartache and excitement never stop (31–40)
Kill This LoveBLACKPINK
As a K-pop idol group, BLACKPINK has been making waves in Japan as well.
This track is one of their dance numbers.
It debuted at No.
41 on the Billboard chart, marking the highest ranking for a K-pop girl group.
As suggested by the title phrase “kill this love,” it’s a love song with a dark worldview, strongly influenced by hip-hop rooted in trap, among other styles.
BBoom BBoommomoland
MOMOLAND’s party tune that sparked a social phenomenon.
It’s the title track of their 2018 mini-album “GREAT!”.
With its high addictiveness and unique flair, this song captivated many K-pop fans at the time.
The lyrics, which portray the push-and-pull of romance, are striking and perfect for a one-sided crush.
It depicts a playful back-and-forth, as if toying with someone in the palm of your hand.
While seductive, it strikes an excellent balance with comedic charm.
If you want to win over your crush, listen to “BBoom BBoom” and go in with full confidence!
Wanna BeA Pink
A medium-tempo tune that portrays Apink’s feelings of love.
It might not be very well known outside their fanbase, but it’s a truly lovely song and I highly recommend it.
It sings about the fluttery, positive feelings of a girl in love.
The way it imagines a happy future is adorable, too! Listening to this will make being in love feel even more fun.
THAT XXG-DRAGON
A song about feelings for a woman who’s in love with a “bad guy.” It expresses a man’s frustration—wondering, “What do you even like about him?”—using slightly rough language characteristic of G-DRAGON.
Centered on an acoustic guitar melody, it’s a simple track that perfectly matches its bittersweet lyrics.
The music video features Jennie before her debut as a member of BLACKPINK.
Mr. ChuA Pink
Apink has many cute love songs.
This 2014 track, the title song of their mini-album “Pink Blossom,” was a huge hit.
It overflows with the charming, pure image that symbolized Apink and dominated the mainstream at the time.
While it might fit best for a first date after you start going out, its lyrics wrap you in fresh, tender feelings that also perfectly capture the essence of a one-sided crush.
It’s a love song of 120% purity that will keep your heart fluttering nonstop.
