Favorite K-Pop songs 2019
As I dive deeper into K-Pop, I discover more interesting and fun songs. These are the ones I listened to most and/or regularly this year. A good number of them are on the dance, funk/pop side as I am not a big fan of urban, hip hop-influenced singles. Again most of them are from girl groups. |
| 1 | TWICE
Fancy
Funny how a song from a group I didn't like before became my #1. This is an addictive tune and I like them heading into a more mature territory (although baby steps). |
| 2 | DIA
Woowa
Underrated group that has taken the more mature route lately as well. This song and 'Woo Woo' are their best singles so far. |
| 3 | EZUZ
Latte Is Horse
Beside the peculiar title, these guys have produced a great tune. Gyeong Ree appears on it and that's a major plus. They are an underground act at the moment, I hope they get more attention. |
| 4 | CLC
Devil
Another underrated girl group, the song is awesome. |
| 5 | Apink
Eung Eung
Another group that turned towards more mature content, the tune is damn catchy. |
| 6 | Red Velvet
Umpah Umpah
The best single since 'Bad Boy', they are one of the tightest groups in the genre today. |
| 7 | TWICE
Hot
Featured on the Fancy You EP, this is really cool. |
| 8 | Taemin
Want
Some heavy George Michael grooves here. |
| 9 | DALsooooobin
Katchup
Slightly different format from your usual k-pop single, but really nice. That stage name change was a bad decision tho. |
| 10 | TWICE
Feel Special
Respectable follow-up to 'Fancy', but nowhere near as great. |
| 11 | BTS
Boy With Luv |
| 12 | EXID
Me & You |
| 13 | SunMi
Noir |
| 14 | Mamamoo
Hip |
| 15 | AOA
Come See Me |
| 16 | Chung Ha
Snapping |

Love Tonight |
| 18 | BOL4
Day Off |
| 19 | DIA
I Will Not |
| 20 | CLC

Lion
Whoever came up with the English "translation" for the group's name was on drugs. |
| 22 | BOL4
Wondering |
| 23 | Red Velvet
Psycho |
| 24 | WooSung
Face |
| 25 | AOA

| 26 | Mamamoo

Vulgar display of sponsorship in the music video, but the track is actually nice. |
| 27 | NCT 127
Highway to Heaven |
