Confession Song(고백송)GOT7
The multinational boy group GOT7 enjoys tremendous popularity in Japan and has even performed at the Budokan.
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.
Snowy WishGirls’ Generation (Shōjo Jidai)
A quintessential winter song by Girls’ Generation from their 2010 mini-album “Hoot.” It’s an irresistibly poppy track that blends the flutter of first love with the excitement of winter’s arrival.
The lyrics capture that overflowing, blissful feeling when you can’t stop thinking about someone you love—plus the joy of finding out the feelings are mutual.
It’s an absolute blast to hear live! It’s a song you want to play on repeat when you’re young, and a classic that makes you want to hold onto those feelings even as you grow older.
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.
Scent of yoursSON DONG WOON
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.
