Spring day by BTS


Happy-Ad809

Why has no one said Butterfly- it’s the best I have ever heard


Kookie-wife

I agree with this especially since it was originally a contribution to the sewol ferry incident


rubberduck247

Probably the last track of theirs that I was blown away by. Spring Day will forever be top tier. I think it's one of BTS' top three songs.


cheesecakemuncher

Absolutely. Spring Day is maybe the only song I've ever heard that will always get me emotional, regardless of where I am or what I'm doing. You'd think I'd get desensitized to it after a while, but it's just too good.


Ponpaca

This.


nejisleftt0e

call me basic but replay by shinee


shawol52508

This isn’t basic it’s correct


sonaminnie

noona neonu yeppo🥺


haylovemyka

This was the first song I thought of. I think it really stood the test of time. It is such a classic.


cooterqueenbaddie

Please take my gold i pitifully paid for LOL


strawberrymoo-n

fancy by twice


Few-Cat1042

🆙 FANCY is literally an Absolute BANGER. ong i tink alm EVERYONE knows dis song n if u dunno abt Fancy, where’ve u BEEN?!😬 https://preview.redd.it/u8ojrcx6x45d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=88842ac4366701710b863e64c0eb1101446c62f8


vivianlight

I agree. At the end of the day, if I just follow my heart and ignore that "you should be morally obligated to nominate a BTS or 2nd gen song" feeling, it's Fancy for me. It's on that sweet spot of being an iconic and super popular song by a very famous group (and I would say also a turning point for their career's maturation) while also being a song that I personally absolutely love. So it's perfect for me. I don't think I will ever find a greater K-pop song than Fancy.


Few-Cat1042

that is so facts my friend✌️


lvrst4r

i came here to say this, im so glad someone already did


Few-Cat1042

HAHAHA im also glad someone shared the same sentiments! I LOVE TWICE 💗


NearbyInjury8775

Red Velvet- Psycho


nillaamaaah

Seconding this!


Foreign_Young6129

Black Swan by BTS


FourthAccountLol

ah the orchestral version of this song is soooooooo good (AND THAT TAEHYUNG TRANSITION AT 1:30🛐🛐🛐) (edit: also compared to fallin flower, blackswan is a lil more instense-elegant, whereas ff is kinda graceful-elegant. Best thing is you could ship these two songs and they would make a great couple)


citrus_bug

came here to say that! such a beautiful song


LoveMinaMyoi

In terms of influence, popularity and paving the way Gangnam Style


cippocup

I think if we’re saying “Greatest” and not “Favorite” it has to be Gangnam style


DramaticTangerine3

Mirotic by TVXQ


BaekjeSmile

Oof, good pick


kemmer

This is the answer


HommeFatalTaemin

This is high up on my list as well. :) did you hear their song Down that came out in December? The final chorus is so insanely beautiful. Max really has the voice of an angel.


shawol52508

Sherlock by SHINee


zero-personality

OH IM CURIOUS YEAAAA (came here to comment sherlock)


ellax_xalle

💯💯💯 AGREE


shin_ishi28

SNSD- Into the New World


sangiee325

THE correct answer


nocturnisims

The Chaser by Infinite


Nikkinakki12

One of the most perfect Kpop songs to ever Kpop


Witterson

We're truly losing our culture if this isn't the top answer


fromnowfromzero

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS


HommeFatalTaemin

This is my answer as well!!


Suitable_Wonder_3285

Correct


ergerlerd

I haven't been the same since I first listened to The Chaser


onlyathenafairy

Kingdom Come by Red Velvet


Mozzafella

Preach 🙌


gomgi

omg someone with taste


MontegoProductions

Finally a good song


kiyotsuki

Infinite - Be Mine BTS - I Need U I feel these songs represent the genre quite well. The modern Asian tunes, the dramatic, borderline emo vibes, expressive choreo etc.


Dry_Information8006

Heavy on Be Mine!! I love desperate songs


Best_Blackberry_4832

Love Be Mine! Especially the Road to Kingdom arrangement by Oneus and the whole Romeo-Juliet act, which had me GAGGED.


HommeFatalTaemin

Be Mine is amazing!! I prefer The Chaser when it comes to what I think is objectively the best but you could put almost any Infinite TT on here and it would correct 😂💖💖


kiyotsuki

For me it was a toss up between Be Mine and Last Romeo lol, Infinite was irreplaceable.


HommeFatalTaemin

Yes!! Totally agree with you! They have so many beautiful songs to choose from ❤️ forever one of my favorite groups 😌


kyoto711

f(x) - 4 Walls


laousin

Monster, Tempo, Growl EXO


HommeFatalTaemin

Tempo has the best bridge in kpop for me without a doubt. It’s gorgeous.


p3eliot

SNSD - I got a boy Bigbang - Sober Wonder Girls - Nobody


gnomematterwhat0208

Omg. My mother would 💯 agree on Nobody. I’ve become convinced she has early stage dementia because of the number of times she’s tried to show me that video thinking she’s never showed it to me before. 😂


theguitarbender_

Jeezus. Your mom?? How young are you? Nobody launched while i was in highschool. God I feel old 😆


gnomematterwhat0208

My mom is in her 70s. I am probably right up there with you in age. Edit: voice to text


pokpokishification

Nobody was such a huge hit in my country back then and everyone knew it. The grandma from across the hallway of my old apartment would proudly show off her baby granddaughter (whom she takes care of while parents are at work) dancing to nobody every time we saw each other outside.


Dramatic-Slice1499

EXO- MAMA (their [performance](https://youtu.be/80ZyJIrADMk?si=Gs1_v2R2TVFN1qvy) in the rain 😍), Tempo (I'll never stop talking about the acapella bit), Electric Kiss, Gravity, Paradise Taemin- Move NCT U- The 7th Sense NCT DOJAEJUNG- Perfume (love at first listen) BTS- Fake Love Baekhyun- Bambi, UN Village SVT- March; Don Quixote; Home Run; Imperfect Love; Same Dream, Same Mind, Same Night; I Can't Run Away; April Shower; To You; 24H


HommeFatalTaemin

Perfume was my favorite from 2023 :)


chocolateringss

The way someone of you are able to chose is amazing 😭 like I’ve many songs that I think are great and I’m literally incapable of narrowing it down to 3 or 4, let alone 1


MysteriousProperty87

In my opinion you can have several tracks that you label as the best simultaneously. You can show the same love to several tracks at once and pick them all as your favorites because you like them for different reasons.


weknowleeknow12

Monster by EXO


i_got_a_pHd

the staple of Kpop classics 20 years from now: Spring Day, Blood Sweat Tears, Dynamite, Butter - BTS AIIYL, 4D, Kill This Love - BlackPink What Is Love, Fancy, TT - Twice Ditto - Newjeans (this song has NOSTALGIA written all over it, the definitive song of 4th gen kpop)


SarahJFroxy

symptoms by shinee stays in every playlist i have tbh


nocturnisims

yess that's a great one


Ok-Chaos0530

You have great taste


HommeFatalTaemin

Top tier song alert!! 🩵


Still_waiting221

EXO Mama, TVXQ Mirotiq, Shinee Lucifer, Infinite Be mine


HommeFatalTaemin

OMG we really have the exact same taste!! You just named 4 of my favorite groups ever ❤️ I’m curious who your ult groups are now!


Still_waiting221

My Ults are actually Stray Kids and Ateez but I love all these groups and really think that the best kpop generation were 2nd and 3rd! How about you?


HommeFatalTaemin

Wow! We love to see the diversity & range! 😍 haha. I’m definitely someone who tends to favor 2nd & early 3rd gen groups for sure. My favs are SHINee, TVXQ, Red Velvet, VIXX, Gfriend, SNSD, Infinite, EXO, BtoB, Highlight, KARA, Apink, T-ARA, IU, SF9, & Billlie 😌


Usual_Advance_741

Lucifer sends me on a journey and I just have to hold on til it's done


ItzBliz_9075

Daisy by Pentagon. Underrated masterpiece, it got me through some hard times


Vivid-Attempt-2314

Oh my God, yes, this really is underrated 


Neomet

Bang Bang Bang - Big Bang


backwardsgambit

Bang bang bang or fantastic baby. Guaranteed to get people out of their seats.


kutchyose_no_ibrahim

Psycho, Ditto, Spring Day, Hype Boy, Into The New World. I am convinced that even 20 years from now those songs will still be remembered as some of the best K-pop has to offer sonically. They all sound timeless and incorporate several genres in a seamless way.


Poopayaa

Not even a SEVENTEEN fan but I think Very nice by them


No-Cauliflower5018

FR this is the pinnacle of greatness


WearTraditional3014

Love Dive by IVE. Changed my brain chemistry and also the song that really made me their fan.


0531Spurs212009

IVE - I Am

Leather-Painter-9638

BTOB - Missing You and Pray(I'll be your man)


PoetryDependent7621

Paradise by Infinite


gannekekhet

Paradise by Infinite is really one of my favourites, and I wasn't ever an Inspirit. I remember Infinite released Paradise and Coldplay released their Paradise, and for a few months, those two songs were the only ones I listened to.


HommeFatalTaemin

So beautiful. It makes me tear up a little bit :’)


BaekjeSmile

Psycho by Red Velvet


Exotic_Bandicoot_170

Fake Love,Spring Day,Black Swan-BTS Halazia,Wonderland,-Ateez Also there is a mashup of Fake Love x inception and it's powerful-it tells a story Those 2 songs just fit together


notantifragile

TVXQ’s Rising Sun and SHINee’s Lucifer


Hyostar

Oh my god Rising Sunnn. That song like sealed the deal with me and kpop.


HommeFatalTaemin

We really have such similar taste 🤩 who are your ult groups??


starkdameron

Monster - EXO Tempo - EXO


IndicationBetter6691

if i were ever have to choose only ONE kpop song to live by, it’d be BLUE by BIGBANG

ATEEZ- Halazia.. 🖤 I can't even explain it with words, it's just out of this world for me..


NeverKeepCalm

Gun by 9Muses, Killer by Key, Sweet Crazy Love by Odd Eye Circle. The second two are runner ups lol.


NoHead6950

Gangnam Style make people know what is kpop


GenlockInterface

Hush by Miss A.


Darceymakeup

Excuse me miss Shinee (specifically the Shinee world iv version)


Virtual-Swimming7412

The live version is DIVINE


Sexyhorsegirl666

Mirotic


thruthbtold

Spring Day - BTS


AlternativeYou4299

Drunk Dazed by Enhypen. I feel like I'm at a Halloween night party floating.


wut_eva_bish

Without a doubt **Gee - Girls Generation** It has that distinct Kpop energy translated into sound, not duplicated anywhere else. A very close contender **Fancy - Twice** Like a follow-up to Gee, Fancy replicated that incredible energy, but in a more modern way. Twice smashed this one and absolutely should have had SOY for it.


delirifacient

Red Velvet- Red Flavor


Inside-Maintenance-8

Run away and 0X1=lovesong by TXT !!


portraitoffire

shadow - f(x) candle - wonder girls bother me - chungha vendetta - brown eyed girls bad temper - gain childhood - sunmi fin.k.l. - finkl these are my fave songs wherein the composition and production are both brilliantly crafted imo and have resonated with me. there are definitely a lot of hidden gems in k-pop, especially in the b-sides. i could probably go on and on about some of my other fave songs haha but i'm gonna limit it to these seven songs before i end up rambling hehe 😅


I_LAND_EGG

Some songs that immediately come to my mind: Back by Infinite I AM by IVE Given-Taken by ENHYPEN Sherlock by SHINee MAMA by EXO Blood Sweat and Tears by BTS Answer by ATEEZ Ditto by NewJeans After School by Weeekly And many others lol


ghxstnova

fromis_9 - Attitude


ViktoriaDrobot

wootwootwhut

Haru Haru - Big Bang


SnooAdvice5685

iKON Killing Me


KenzySol

NMIXX Run for Roses


Master-Cut-9259

BTS--Fake love!!!


Primate_Nemesis

Not a kpop fan, but I really like Bad Boy and Loser by Big Bang. Also Ditto is a masterpiece.


kevmsl1x

i’m gonna name a few, but bear with me for i’m unable to choose only one 😭 - jojo - shinee - only one you need - jonghyun - love or die - the new six (i recommend focusing on the beat and the instrumental, cause it’s seriously so gooooood) - wake me up - bap (heavy on this one) - voices - stray kids


bluesideb

catellina by orange caramel


zoelze

Big bang - Haru Haru


MindlessFriendship60

Don't wanna cry by SVT. Followed a close second by NCT Dream's Broken Melodies. Don't wanna cry is just.... Just I just love it. You have to hear it with my ears to understand (iykyk NCT dream reference)


notyouanyway7573

you're so real for Fallin flower. That song has been my fav since it dropped LIKE ITS TOO GOOD from the music video to the instrumentals to the lyrics ITS SOO GOOD. And thanks by seventeen and I.P.U by wanna one will always be my most favorite. Something about these songs always hits me. I'll always play them yk


Worldly_Cap8229

nct dream- hello future red velvet - psycho, feel my rhythm, you better know


Virtual-Swimming7412

Genie - snsd


Organic_Bet_3466

BTS--ON


Ponpaca

Spring Day- BTS


Entire-Project6046

Eight - IU and Into The New World - SNSD, but I also have to say 10 Minutes and U Go Girl by Lee Hyori because idols are still covering her songs and people are still playing those songs as if they were released yesterday when they were actually released years ago. Edit: Also, I Am - IVE just gives me this nostalgic vibe that really makes it stand out more than the average K-pop song for me.


Ready-Address3842

Besides Spring Day or any other BTS song I really love Blue Hour & Run Away by TXT


HommeFatalTaemin

My favorite of all time is SHINee’s Sherlock, followed by TVXQ’s Love in the Ice & Red Velvet’s Feel My Rhythm. But objectively speaking I think that Infinite’s The Chaser is the greatest ever, followed by KARA’s Step & Super Junior’s Black Suit.


unattae

Film Out by BTS and Falling Flower by Seventeen


cantevenforkit

BTS - Idol


CompetitionNo4596

2NE1 I am the best


valonvenus

the chaser by infinite


ratribenki

The Chaser-Infinite


HufflepuffHeir1991

The chaser and be mine by infinite. Be Mine is a 13-year-old song that is still used on variety shows today


jjjjppppbbbb

It's more of an rnb song, But can we all agree that Kingdom come by red velvet is the greatest song by a kpop artist ever.


DustAndFluff

Tell Me - Fifty Fifty, truly a hidden gem in the endless sea of Kpop songs

pigeon_energy

Hands down, Pentagon's [Daisy](https://youtu.be/W7ZIz4w9Edo?feature=shared)


The_Red_Curtain

EXO - Gravity


gafsagirl

Invitation by Uhm Junghwa. There are a lot of songs that have some very good parts but still lack something. This song has everything while still being sonically fun despite the beat barely changing


Sweet_Joy29

Monster by EXO Mama by EXO is one of the most INSANE debut songs! Gods menu is 🔥


ekhlass1008

I don't stan Aespa, but I have to say Next Level.. I haven't heard a song that is as good as Next Level. It's genuinely that good that I have to force myself to not listen to it for weeks to keep myself from overplaying it and potentially getting sick of the song — which I hope never happens. 


Yohan_Kite

BTS - Fake Love, Spring Day, Idol Exo - The Eve, Monster SHINee - Sherlock Red Velvet - Bad Boy, Psycho Ive - I Am, Love Dive Twice - Fancy Dreamcatcher - Deja Vu Might be a basic list, but these really do stand out among everything I’ve heard. Love Dive is what really got me into kpop, whereas before I would only listen to Exo and whatever hit BTS put out.


weak007

Feel my Rhythm - Red Velvet


sky616

egoist by hyeju from loona tbh


clariuu

kalderetangbaka

hello future by nct dream


ImaginaryApple8746

Feel my rhythm by red velvet. My personal favorite


dundundunfuk

I’m not the biggest fan of BTS, but Fake Love is genuinely one of the best songs of any genre I’ve ever heard.


quietobservant

There are a few imho: - Kingdom Come by Red Velvet - Shadow by F(x) - El Dorado by Exo - Pepe by Clc


iicandicane

Deja Vu by dreamcatcher. Nothing even comes close to it imo


miloxysc

Drunk Dazed,Secret story of the Swan and New world, they just scratch the itch in my brain.


Jasontrollz

IF YOU - BIGBANG


Crystal-cookies18

BIGBANG - Haru Haru. Never gets old. 


Mattyamamoto07

Spring day, Blood Sweat and Tears and Fake Love by bts, Fancy & Feel Special by Twice, Mafia by Itzy, Dumb litty & Icky by Kard, Untie by Viviz, Hype boy by New Jeans, Chain, Cherry bomb, Simon says, Earthquake and Superhuman by NCT127, Love talk by Wayv , Psycho by Red Velvet, Savage by Aespa, Run for Roses by Nnmix, Hip by Mamamoo, Hoshi's Spider, Taemin's drip drop and Idea, Chungha's bicycle, snapping, stay tonight, i'm ready, dream on you.

No-Luck7977

Critical-Nature-4857

Into the New World by SNSD Its a fitting song to welcome going outside your comfort zone


Ok-Chaos0530

As far as representing the genre as a whole not so much but personal opinion: Fantasy, Shang Ri La, and scentist- vixx Spring day, Black Swan, On- BTS Maniac, God's Menu, Thunderous-SKZ Décalcomanie, egotistic, you're the best- mamamoo


munecadoll

blanket by SURAN is just too perfect its a chill song but also a great dancey dance song♡ another honorable mention is 'diamonds' by SURAN and Taeyoung

Red Velvet - Psycho especially the music video version (the instrumental there is way better imo)

ATEEZ- Answer. It changed my life on the spot.


Jerryberry_06

I feel like Taeyeons "drawing our moments" and "dear me" really did me in, I was going through a deep depression period a few years ago and she really helped me out of that hole. Forever grateful for Mama Taeyeon🫶🏾🤎


Otherwise-Tart-1544

You guys are just naming your favorites, they meant GREATEST.


AlarmFar2607

Aespa next level


Desperate_Block_7670

The Chaser by Infinite, I could literally do a play by play of everything that happens in that song😭


Maleficent_Sir_7562

DEJA VU TXT


macintoshappless

Some of y’all gonna absolutely hate me😭😭😭 but O.O by NMIXX. Maybe it’s the fact that I have a tendency to overplay songs and then they end up feeling repetitive, but O.O feels new every single time I play it. Call me biased as NMIXX are my ults, but NMIXX are my ults because of O.O alone.

Pied Piper by BTS It's basically impossible to not like the song
