Uncovering the Gems: My Favorite Underrated K-pop Songs
1. "I Just One Day" by BTS
One of my all-time favorite K-pop songs is "I Just One Day" by BTS. The song's melody and lyrics are captivating, with an enchanting romantic theme that rends your heart strings. While it has garnered over 54 million views, it still remains relatively less popular compared to other tracks in BTS's extensive catalog. This gem deserves more recognition, especially among fans and non-fans alike who haven't had the pleasure of discovering it yet. Feel the warmth of this love journey and give it a listen.
2. "Girls of the Year" by VCHA
Debuting just a month ago, VCHA has already stolen hearts with their song "Girls of the Year." Produced by JYP Entertainment, the Big3, and opening act in TWICE’s recent World Tour, their debut song is a lively and happy tune. Despite their impressive debut and recognition, "Girls of the Year" has only garnered 8.3 million views in just three months. The song’s bubbly and cheerful melody is sure to brighten up your day, so why not give it a listen?
3. "Butterfly" by BTS
Another stunning pick is "Butterfly" by BTS. This Korean-only song is easy on the ears yet sitting deep in the emotions. The lyrics are a love confession, and when you listen to it with understanding, it becomes a timeless love story. Unfortunately, it has only 4.9 million views on its official music video, which is a shame. The song's beauty transcends language, so do yourself a favor and give this hidden gem a chance.
4. "BOLO" by Penomeco
Seconded by a viral edit, "BOLO" by Penomeco is a stellar track that has managed to garner attention, albeit a modest 11 million views. This song has a fresh and unique vibe that captures the essence of K-pop in a way that resonates with fans and newcomers alike. Discover the allure of this less popular K-pop song and let the music wash over you.
5. "For Us" by V
Solo artist V of TWICE recently released "For Us," a soothing and gentle song in English, making it a perfect pick for those who prefer slower and more comforting tunes. Despite being part of V's solo work, the song continues to shine with its calm and healing vibes. Give this peace offering a listen and let it bring a sense of calm to your life.
