K-POP to listen to in winter: Korean songs whose beautiful melodies touch the heart (41–50)
UniverseEXO(엑소)
A track included on the 2017 winter album.
It’s a rock ballad that feels like the journey to find a lover is the universe itself.
Instead of limiting the lyrics to “he” or “she,” it uses “I” and “you,” allowing for a broader interpretation—another lovely touch.
The sweeping chorus that rises from the gentle verses is deeply moving.
There’s also a Chinese version titled “為心導航” (Guiding the Heart).
K-pop to Listen to in Winter: Korean Songs Whose Beautiful Melodies Touch the Heart (51–60)
Winter BearV（BTS）
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.
Take You Home)(바래다줄게)BAEKHYUN(백현)
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.”
The Best Thing I Ever Did(올해 제일 잘한 일)Twice
A Christmas song included on the 3rd album, “The year of ‘YES.’” Written and composed by producer Park Jinyoung, it expresses the wish for the happy times with a loved one to continue forever.
Its mid-tempo bounce feels lively without being too subdued, and the members’ vocals gently wrap around you.
Give it a listen when you want something warm and cozy.
울면 안 돼 (The Winter’s Tale)BTOB
It’s so Christmassy.
It’s a story about me being left behind and the girl who left, but the song has an upbeat feel.
And the rap in the interlude is really great.
The members in costumes dancing with a girl—every bit of it is adorable.
It’s just a really, really good song, plain and simple.
It’s included on the winter special album titled exactly “The Winter’s Tale.” I want to get through the winter with this.
Merry XmasBoA
One of BoA’s signature songs that crowned her peak years in Japan.
The lyrics are captivating, as if they capture the everyday moments of lovers at Christmastime.
The happiness and anxiety you feel when dating, hopes for the future… all the emotions people experience during the holiday season are woven throughout.
December is also the end of the year, and even amid a hectic life, it may be a time when you want to face your partner sincerely.
Christmassy!THE BOYZ
Here’s a recommended track for when you want to get into a festive mood for Christmas: “Christmassy!” It’s a special single gifted to their fans, THE B, to celebrate the third anniversary of their debut on December 6, 2020.
The lyrics are filled with a happy, celebratory atmosphere and nostalgic memories that make your heart flutter.
It’s a light, poppy song that matches the excitement of Christmas.
Just listening to it makes you feel thrilled, and THE BOYZ truly shine with buoyant, bouncy melodies.
Still, those lyrics near the end are a little unfair… If THE BOYZ say something like that, there’s no way your heart won’t skip a beat!
