Lee Seung-gi is an artist from Seoul who is especially popular in Japan, particularly among women.
“Return (되돌리다)” is a supreme ballad in which his gentle yet delicate voice heightens the bittersweet feelings of winter.
The piano tone is incredibly soft as well, seeping straight into your heart and moving you before you know it.
When you want to immerse yourself in the wistful mood of winter, please give this song a listen.
As you take in its beautiful melody, you’ll find tears flowing naturally.
Lonely (없구나)B1A4
B1A4 is an idol group from Seoul, and their song “LONELY (없구나)” is a winter track released in 2014, known for its clear, translucent vocals.
By the way, B1A4 is pronounced “Bee-one-A-four.” Also, the music video for this song, which is based on a white color scheme, is really worth watching! How about playing the music video on a computer or smartphone during events like Christmas parties?
A Few Years Later(몇 년 후에)Block B
A love ballad by the boy group Block B, known for their high musicality and for featuring artists like Zico, who is now also popular as a solo artist.
It was released in March 2016.
The music video features cherry blossoms, but its sentimental lyrics about parting will resonate even more deeply in late autumn.
It portrays the feelings of spending time alone over a track that is both fragile and warm.
The rap parts, which feel like unfiltered confessions, are also a highlight.
While imagining a future where both have moved on, the song gently stays with you through a breakup that still leaves lingering attachment.

Their song themed around confessions is “Confession Song (고백송).” Although the word “winter” doesn’t appear directly in the lyrics, the track was released around Christmas.
An essential part of discussing this song is its music video: the members make a surprise visit to a high school and cheer on students as they confess their feelings.
오랜 날 오랜 밤 (LAST GOODBYE)AKMU (Akdong Musician)
This is a track from the full album “Adolescence Part 2,” released in 2017.
It starts with a wintry, bittersweet, gently subdued mood and gradually builds up.
With shifts in its arrangement, it’s a song about feelings moving toward a farewell, yet it somehow warms the heart.
Even if you part ways, each moment you spent together is surely an irreplaceable treasure that will give you strength from here on.
Alongside scenery filmed in Hokkaido, it’s a positive “goodbye” song that truly feels like overcoming winter.
AKMU’s harmonies really sink in.

Son Dong-woon, who is also active as a member of the male idol group HIGHLIGHT, released “Scent of yours” in 2022—a song that paints a scene overflowing with romantic feelings for someone precious who is no longer here.
It voices the longing to see a loved one on a cold winter night when the heart feels lonely, unfolding alongside gently flowing synth tones.
This bittersweet yet beautiful winter song gradually evokes the landscapes once shared with a former lover.
Let this soothing K-pop track—and his tender vocals—comfort your heart.
