K-pop to color your Instagram stories: recommended Korean songs

POPS writer/editorKEI
Since discovering music during my school days, I’ve mainly listened to Japanese and Korean pop. I have experience writing articles for sites like Utaten. 2000s J-pop and 2010s K-pop were especially the soundtrack of my youth. With the mindset that “good is good,” I enjoy music across genres. Thanks to past work environments and their influence, I was exposed to lots of classic rock and kayōkyoku (Japanese popular songs), which may have broadened the scope of what I love. At RAG MUSIC, I currently focus on K-pop and J-pop. I strive to edit with a feel for the scene and an eye for hit potential.

This is a feature introducing recommended K-pop songs for Instagram Stories.

If you use Instagram, you probably make use of Stories for a variety of purposes.

From the many K-pop and Korean songs out there, we’ve picked ones that will enhance your Stories with a charm that’s a bit different from Reels.

Current hit songs feel familiar and relatable, while slightly calmer and stylish tracks are also great for Stories.

Feel free to use them in your own Stories!

This song has been gaining popularity on TikTok and Instagram.

With a lively rhythm and heartwarming tones, it gently expresses the fluttery excitement of being in love.

The heartbeat-like tempo evokes emotions that everyone has felt before.

Released in September 2015, it drew major attention as part of the original soundtrack for a popular Korean drama.

Kim Min-sun’s soft vocals match beautifully with the carefully woven melody line, and more users are enjoying it on social media through dance videos and lip-syncs.

It’s a recommended track when you want to share the feeling of being in love or express a sense of excitement.
