The allure of K-Pop has sparked a surge of interest in learning Korean among international fans. However, even without fluency in the language, many of us continue to enjoy and connect with the music. The beauty of music lies in its ability to transcend language barriers, engaging listeners emotionally regardless of their native tongue.
However, have you ever just danced to a certain song until you decide to look up the lyrics, and… the lyrics are not as happy as you thought they would be? Here are some songs that are exactly that!
H.O.T/NCT Dream – Candy
This fun chirpy song, and you might think sweet too because of the title, isn’t exactly what you think it is. Although it’s nothing sad or dark, but it’s a song about wanting to break up with their lover. The lyrics sing, “Today I woke up and decided to break up with you.”
EPEX – Sunshower
Another cheery breakup song, emphasizes sunshower, which, as the name is, is when there’s sudden rain during a rainy day. In this case, on a day when the weather is perfect, EPEX wants to meet up with their lover until the lover is seen with someone else.
GOT7 – The End
If you did not figure it out from the title, yes, this is another breakup song. Not really a song about breaking up with the other person, but rather about their love ending and saying goodbye to both the relationship and their lover.
iKON – Love Scenario
Based on the title and how poppy this famous song is, you might think it’s about a happy love song, but sadly, it’s about reminiscing about your past love, not moving on after a breakup.
Big Bang – Sober
After a breakup, you kind of need a pick-me-up song to cheer you up and make you forget about all the bad memories you had from the breakup. This song is exactly that.
Zico – Any Song
A song to blast when you’re feeling down because of how fun it is, the song sings exactly that too! When you’re feeling down, just play “Any Song,” – yes, literally, to make it more exciting and “Dance whatever I like, To look as if nothing has happened” Oh, how convenient, it has a fun dance to go with it too!
TXT – Tinnitus
Being famous and achieving stardom can be fun and fancy, but in this song, TXT sings about the loneliness after achieving stardom, which, is not surprising at all. Because things can’t be shiny all the time.
GFriend – Rough
Maybe you have already felt it in the emotions they had in the song, but if not, this pop-rock is about the crush they have and not being able to tell the person about their feelings.
