English K-pop songs to recommend to your non K-pop friends who say "you don't even understand what they're saying"

AKP STAFF

Do you have friends that just go, "you listen to K-Pop too much" or "you don't even understand what they're saying"? Well, here are some English K-Pop songs for your non-K-Pop friends. They are actual English songs rather than English versions or translated songs. 

CRAVITY - Boogie Woogie

This super fun song is the group's first-ever English single. The single is a peppy track that actually describes the boogie dance. It’s a fun song for fans to dance to and sing along with them. Allen mentioned in an interview with NME that with the group having more opportunities to go abroad, releasing English songs may help them to better communicate with their overseas fans.

A.C.E - Down

We already know how crazy-talented this group is, and when this song was released, fans were completely obsessed with how good the song is. It's certainly an underrated gem that deserves more recognition. Many listeners who came across this song on Spotify were surprised to learn that they are a K-Pop group. See, this bop can definitely fool your non-K-Pop friends.

Monsta X - You Problem

This one's a cheat, as it's from the group's second English album, which in all honesty, the whole album is a masterpiece. Sometimes their English songs would randomly come on the radio and I would forget that they're a K-Pop group. If you don't like Monsta X's English songs, then that's a YOU PROBLEM. 

P1Harmony - Gotta Get Back

Okay so, this one would have a hint of Korean during the rap part, but other than that, this is a very chilled and catchy song that truly showcases the group's sweet vocals. You'll certainly find yourself getting back to it. 

Eric Nam - Congratulations

Another cheat of a track from an English album, but Eric Nam can literally pull off songs from any language so perfectly. This talented Korean-American singer-songwriter has many English tracks that you can trick your friends into listening.


Sam Kim - Would You Believe

Sam is a very talented ballad king, and his soulful voice will just melt your ears and give you goosebumps. Despite being young, the music he writes is always so 'pretty' and just full of talent. With such talent, WOULD YOU BELIEVE that he's an underrated artist? 

Seori - Lovers In The Night

Another underrated gem, Seori, whose English is her second language, made it seem like it's her first! She has a heavenly voice and very rich vocals. The song is also very smart, and witty, along with a very inclusive and aesthetic music video. 

The Rose - Cure

The group is known for not only making really good music, but their voices are just absolutely mind-blowing. The entire album is very powerful and this track especially is very beautiful and truly 'healing.' If you are already crying listening to it with your headphones, just imagine this live. 

TWICE - The Feels

This super fun song is the group's first full English single. The catchy chorus especially will keep you singing and humming without you even realizing it. 

AleXa - Tattoo

If this song were to come on your local radio station, you would not have thought that she's a K-Pop idol. This super-talented Oklahoma-born singer is very versatile with her voice. It can be strong and powerful yet it can also be so sweet and dainty. 

Blackpink - Happiest Girl

The group's latest album does have a few English songs, and as hard as it is to choose one, this sad slow song is heartbreaking yet heavenly. The girls prove once again that they have the most charming and mesmerizing voices.

If they don't understand that music is a feeling and there's no language barrier, they don't deserve you making an effort and showing them music. Just ignore them and say yes.

If any of my friends actually said that to me, they don't deserve a response to begin with.
