Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to listen to K-pop songs about first love. If you, like us, are single, they’ll bring a little hope in the whole concept. Otherwise, well, being in love and listening to love songs is a whole other ball game. Everything seems relatable, doesn’t it? Cheesy as it may be, a healthy relationship makes love songs seem brighter too! Check out our list below.
1. EXO’s First Love
While ‘The First Snow’ often makes to the top list of Christmas songs, this EXO track wins here. A soft, heartening track about how your ‘First Love’ makes you feel good about yourself just by being there. Adorable, we say!
2. BTS’ Just One Day
Bringing up K-pop songs about first love without mentioning this one didn’t sit right with us. Can you be satisfied with just one day spent with your crush? BTS seem to think so. When you like someone, one day is both a lot and not enough time, so they tried to lyrically fit in a sweet mix that belies age.
3. TWICE’s What Is Love?
One of the girl group’s most iconic numbers, ‘What Is Love?’ has the nonet questioning how one knows love. Watching the romantic scenes reenacted by the TWICE members will make you crave love the way the lyrics say.
4. SEVENTEEN’s Oh My!
Next on the list of K-pop songs about first love is a fresh number about how romantic it can be. Everything seems brighter, but you feel a little silly. SEVENTEEN questions wanting to do everything right yet not knowing what to do.
“What do I do with you?/I look at you but I think of you even more
If this was all really a dream/What do I do?”
5. GFRIEND-Me Gustas Tu
‘Me Gustas Tu’ skyrocketed GFRIEND to domestic fame, and for good reason! Blending the innocence of the first time one falls in love with an adorable choreography, the earworm of a track stays with you. A group whose name in Korean (yeojachingu) means girlfriend, it’s the perfect addition to their discography.
6. SHINee’s Hello
The ‘Princes of K-pop’ released ‘Hello’ in 2010, alongside the powerful ‘Lucifer’. It is a delightful track about tentatively entering the big, bad world of relationships. Falling in love is no accident, and confessing is tough. But you should say ‘Hello’ to it anyway!
7. Girls Generation’s Gee
How can one not include “Uh huh/ Listen, boy/ My first love story” in K-pop songs about first love? To date, this cheerful number represents Girls Generation like no other. Love at first sight, feeling shy around the one you like, with your friends teasing you non-stop? We’ve been there too!
