K-pop to listen to in winter: beautiful Korean songs that touch the heart

Winter BearV（BTS）

Winter Bear by V

A solo track released by BTS’s V in August 2019.

The gentle melody harmonizes beautifully with Tae Tae’s soft vocals! Not only the song, but the cover art and music video were also created by him, making it a piece filled with Tae Tae’s unique worldview.

Made as a gift for ARMY, this song features his first English lyrics, inspired by the movie About Time.

The acoustic guitar sounds soothing, and it feels like it could lull you into a good sleep.

It’s an exceptional healing song that seems to fit both extremes—like under the crisp air of a harsh winter or in scenes contrasting city and nature.

[STATION] BAEKHYUN 백현 ‘바래다줄게 (Take You Home)’ MV

This is a solo song by Baekhyun, EXO’s main vocalist who’s also well known for his piano skills.

Many women might swoon over the gentlemanly, male-perspective lyrics, where he appeals to a woman going through a painful relationship—one where she feels she has to force a smile—by saying, “I’m not your boyfriend, but let me walk you home.”

SEVENTEEN ‘Power of Love’ Official MV

SEVENTEEN is a boy group active on the global stage.

When it comes to their winter-themed songs, “Power of Love” comes to mind.

It’s an uplifting track that likens winter to the difficult seasons of life, carrying the message that spring will eventually arrive.

While SEVENTEEN is often associated with intense choreography and pop songs, this track is a gentle ballad.

That’s why it’s also recommended for those who want to take their time and listen to each member’s vocals.

Also, be sure to check out the music video with its romantic atmosphere.

A winter song that warms the heart as if eagerly awaiting the season’s arrival.

It was released in November 2025 by Stella Jean, a singer-songwriter with extensive experience living in France who works in multiple languages.

She is an artist who writes and composes her own music, and is also known for contributing as a songwriter to “Friends (친구)” by BTS’s Jimin and V.

In this work, tender memories that resurface with each snowfall are delicately portrayed, inspired by her experience spending a Christmas holiday around age 20 in the Savoie region of the Alps.

The resonance of the strings adds depth to the scenes, expanding a world where the warmth of the indoors contrasts with the cold outside.

It’s the perfect track for moments when you’d rather quietly reflect on the past than revel in festive bustle.
