These K-pop music videos are over 10 minutes long and are visual epics

In the visually rich world of K-pop, where most music videos typically run between 3 and 5 minutes, some transcend that format, running over 10 minutes, transforming into mini-films with rich narratives and elaborate production. These MVs challenge the boundaries between music and film, offering fans not just a track to listen to but a world to immerse themselves in.

Here are some of the K-pop music videos that exceed 10 minutes, turning songs into stories and visuals into unforgettable experiences.
