LEE HI – ‘한숨 (BREATHE)’ M/V

This is a warm song I want you to listen to when you’ve been pushing yourself so hard every day that even breathing feels tough.

It’s a ballad by the highly skilled vocalist Lee Hi that gently stays close to someone who’s enduring to their limit.

Instead of trying to cheer you on, it shares the heaviness of each breath and creates a world that allows you to let your shoulders relax—an impression that really stands out.

Released in March 2016, this piece is widely known as a representative number from the first half of the album “SEOULITE.” It also drew attention because SHINee’s Jonghyun was deeply involved in its production.

When you feel crushed by the pressures of daily life or suddenly find yourself feeling down, this ballad will surely bring you comfort.

Give it a listen when you want to calm your heart.

FOR YOUBTS68rank/position

BTS ‘FOR YOU’ Official MV

A heartrending love song themed around a long-distance relationship, it topped the Oricon weekly chart.

Produced by UTA, the music video also features the members transforming into various part-time job roles—another highlight.

The vocal range in “FOR YOU” isn’t very high, but it feels like the lower register is emphasized more than the high notes.

Be careful not to overuse your throat when singing low notes.

Compared to your speaking voice, aim for a slightly more polished tone; lifting your eyebrows helps keep the resonance from dropping too much into the throat, preventing a muffled sound and making it easier to sing.

It’s also recommended to sing as if you’re placing a bundle of breath right in front of you.
