Put this playlist on for some soft Korean songs to accompany you while you do your homework.
Ishani Sarkar, Kpopmap EditorWelcome to the 29th article of Kpopmap's weekly series: Kpopmap Mood Playlist! In this series, with articles released every Friday, we create a playlist of unique songs across various genres such as K-Pop, K-Rock/Indie/Hip-Hop/R&B, ballads, city pop, and more, exclusively curated for a very specific mood. Through this series, we want to introduce you to artists and genres as well as give you the perfect collection of songs to jam out to, regardless of how particular your mood is. You can even request a playlist in the comments down below!
You can find all our "Mood Playlists" by clicking here!
This week's Mood Playlist is dedicated to all the students working hard on their schoolwork, assignments, research, and more. After spending long hours studying, it is natural to feel a little distracted or simply tired. To help you get back into the groove a little easier, we have the perfect playlist for you!
Here are some soft/chill Korean songs to help you focus while studying!
MONSTA X's 'Sorry I'm Not Sorry' is one of those songs that highlight the members' golden vocals with an amplified sweetness. It is not only calming and soothing to the soul but also easy to lose oneself into. The lyrics are succinct yet strangely empowering, which adds to the charm of the track. There couldn't be a better song to start off this playlist.
No soft K-Playlist in the world would be complete without dean's iconic 'instagram'. After all, a song that appeals to the absurdity of our digital world could be rather motivating when you're trying to study.
Seo InGuk's latest love song, 'My Love', featuring VIXX's RAVI, is a sweet serenade to shower you with love and affection. Nothing could make you feel more special than Seo InGuk calling you his Sugar Darling Remedy, and his incredible voice just hits the sweet spot.
Composed by Primary & WOODZ and written by Primary, WOODZ, Ayul & pH-1, this contemporary R&B gem is an aural blessing, to say the least. Sam Kim and WOODZ have the smoothest vocals to accompany the whimsical melody, and pH-1's rap cuts in with just the right edge. This song is a hidden masterpiece, and it definitely deserves more appreciation for its greatness.
For all lost souls, feeling a little dazed and confused in the rush of the world, this song will be an unexpected yet refreshing source of strength to help you keep going. Dvwn's vocals are ethereal, as always, and the lyrics strike a chord with the deepest recesses of the heart. "Country road, take me home" now has a whole new meaning for K-Music fans.
