BOYNEXTDOOR (보이넥스트도어) ‘오늘만 I LOVE YOU’ Official MV

A bittersweet dance-pop track by BOYNEXTDOOR, a six-member group under KOZ Entertainment.

It’s the digital single “IF I SAY, I LOVE YOU,” released in January 2025.

Despite its upbeat sound, the lyrics poignantly capture the helplessness after a breakup and lingering regret over words left unsaid.

The members themselves took part in writing the lyrics, and their true feelings, hidden behind a brave face, come through authentically.

They won first place on a music show on January 16, 2025, capturing the hearts of many fans.

On winter days when the cold makes you feel a little fragile, or on sleepless nights tangled up in love, their down-to-earth vocals will gently keep you company.

Give it a listen when you want to savor the bittersweet taste of youth.

BLACKPINK is a girl group that has gained worldwide popularity with their sharp, stylish dance-pop infused with hip-hop.

They’re also extremely popular in Japan, so many of you may already know them.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is How You Like That.

This global hit is still frequently used on YouTube Shorts and TikTok.

It tends to be featured in stylishly produced videos, especially in before-and-after transformations and impressive skills clips.

PSY – GANGNAM STYLE(강남스타일) M/V

When it comes to the legend who helped turn K-pop into a global phenomenon, isn’t it PSY? With his humor-filled performances, he sent the world into a frenzy.

His signature work—and the first video in YouTube history to surpass one billion views—is this very track.

Released in July 2012 on the EP “Psy 6 (Six Rules), Part 1,” it peaked at No.

2 on the U.S.

Billboard Hot 100.

The unique choreography known as the horse-riding dance is something almost everyone has seen at least once.

While satirizing the Gangnam district from his own perspective, the song is crafted as a pure, irresistible dance tune you can enjoy without overthinking.

If you just want to get hyped, definitely give it a spin.
