This is a winter song that BTS’s Jimin released as a surprise for fans on December 24, 2020.
It reflects his desire, now as an adult, to once again express the feelings toward Christmas that he cherished as a pure-hearted child.
The warm yet refreshing pop sound and lyrics that sing of love for the season of Christmas itself are especially striking.
It reached No.
1 on the global SoundCloud chart.
A quiet, gently warming Christmas gift, it brings back the simple, genuine emotions tucked away in our hearts that we tend to forget amid our busy daily lives.
WE X MASONEWE
This track is included on ONEWE’s special album “SECRET SANTA,” released in December 2024.
Originally created by the three members not serving in the military at the time and performed live, it was delivered in its finalized form once all members reunited.
Blending a rock sound with Christmas carol-esque melodies, the song captivates with its structure of dreamy synthesizers layered with guitar and drums.
The lyrics reflect their feelings about spending Christmas with fans after overcoming time apart.
With the warmth of a gentle embrace, it’s a song that accompanies the joy of reuniting with someone dear.

This is a ballad released in 2015 as the second installment of SM Entertainment’s winter single project, “WINTER GARDEN.” Its gentle acoustic soundscape captures the serene atmosphere of Christmas Eve, and Red Velvet’s beautiful vocal work is utterly enchanting.
The lyrics—wishing that the happiness shared with a loved one will last forever—are wonderfully romantic.
While it evokes the image of cozy background music for a home with a fireplace, its warm mood is so lovely that I’d love to hear it playing throughout the city as well.

Starship Planet is a collaborative group featuring famous artists like K.will and BOYFRIEND.
They’ve released several songs for the Christmas season, and “Snow Candy” is one of them.
All their Christmas songs are happy and fun, but “Snow Candy” is especially heart-fluttering.
It’s an ultra-sweet love song that compares the person you like to candy.
It brings back the pure, cute feelings of first love.
