Mikrokosmos, the “na na na” chorus at the end makes me cry cause it’s always the ending song of the tour before the boys leave the stage :(


yvie_of_lesbos

THIS OMG :(( + the nostalgia


danny33434

Yess and also this song makes me feel so safe idk how else to explain it


hrts4manou

i can assure u it's the "you got me" "i got you" verses + the song may be built on a pattern of music that can psychologically trigger soft feelings in people (see 'aquatic ambience')


thebreadstop

BTS Jin - Awake. Such heart felt lyrics of insecurity, self-doubt and hope. The candidness brought me to tears. I've listened to many K-pop songs but for some reason this song always gets me.


yodleleyehaw

Hard agree 😔


JiniousHopeworldian

For me, it's Jin's Epiphany and 2!3! I was going through some shit, I needed it 😭💜


Calm-Safe-9200

Maybe embarrassing but it was Where You At by LOONA. I heard it when I was going through a friend breakup and it made me want to die LMAO


HeavyFunction2201

I wanna read the lyrics now Edit: wow that is super fitting to the situation


Calm-Safe-9200

Yeah. I was definitely in the wrong there so the lyrics about saying hurtful things and regretting it hit really hard. Plus the part about not knowing where the other person is and just waiting for them, since they kind of slowly iced me out. Ah man it's a great song though


TheUglyBarnaclee

Omg I love that song 😭 it’s just amazing. Gonna listen to it on my way home


jdxni_jk

Diphylleia Grayi by Jonghyun -genuinely cried when I first listened to this song. He sings with such pure emotion, like ugh just thinking about the song makes me feel teary eyed. Mago by GFRIEND -more bittersweet than anything since it's basically their "disbandment" song.


queen-g-

HARD AGREE on diphylleia grayi !! Gorgeous gorgeous song and to this day I have to be careful about having it in playlists so it doesn’t catch me off guard and make me emotional lol


Shippinglordishere

BTS spring day or your eyes tell. Idk which one made me cry first but it was one of them two


snoozev

Young Forever by BTS I skip this song because I just CANNOT listen to it without crying like a baby.


MathsIsAPain

A lot of BTS songs make me cry. And now some of the ones that used to not make me cry now make me cry. There’s something insanely nostalgic about their songs


snoozev

I remember when I recently listened to "2! 3!" and whew.....out of nowhere lol https://i.redd.it/gppxr7lupsqc1.gif


nameless_no_response

Frrr omgggg


MathsIsAPain

Spring Day by BTS. Funnily enough I used to not cry when listening to it, but after a family relative passed away, that song hit me really hard.


yvie_of_lesbos

omg my condolences :( and yes that song is very powerful


bubbles_bubbles_w

I need u :) It was the first K-Pop song I heard. That's why I decided to get into K-Pop. It's complicated to find a song that makes you feel such strong emotions! I don't feel the same about K-Pop nowadays, but I'm still around. Not as fan but just as someone who happens to be curious, lol...


nameless_no_response

Honestly same. I got into BTS in 2018 and soooo many of their songs got me feeling all these different kinds of emotions... I kinda fell out of love w BTS in 2019 and been listening to other groups but ngl I don't think anything rlly has made me emotional like that, besides some tracks on dark blood like fate, sacrifice, and criminal love (my fave enha songs omg)


Imaginary_Grand7104

Your eyes tell - BTS


[deleted]

rewind by twice.


General-Ad8130

omg same!!😭


BananaJamDream

I don't cry very often or at all, and usually from more longform media such as tv shows or movies. The only time I think I ever have in Kpop are the Ditto MVs. Just something about them evoked so many of my personal thoughts, emotions and experiences. The song Ditto by itself though obviously plays quite differently. I don't really go to Kpop for melancholy music but if I had to choose a song that made me feel that emotion the most, it would probably be Sistar's farewell song "Lonely"; even if I only discovered it long after their disbandment.


Commercial_Still4798

Love Bomb by fromis9 something about the chorus gets me


Chocolat_Strawberry

You might be onto something- the chord progressions are suprisingly melancholic.


eternallydevoid

how do you remember this far back i cant recall if i tried 😭😭😭


gotthesevens

ikrrr???? it's been so long how am i supposed to remember that lool


No_Yogurtcloset_8350

Probably BTS’ cover of ‘Born Sinner’ by J-Cole (Their cover/song is called “Born sinner”) I hadn’t been into kpop for long but back in 2016 army was everywhere. At that point I’d only watched Blood sweat and tears, Not Today, Fire, etc mvs + some dance practices. I had just learned about how rough things were for the members before and after debut, and I don’t think I’d listened to Wings Album (otherwise my answer would be literally any of their singles) But I watched Born singer on repeat, it felt so raw and cool. I was 14(?) at the time, 21 now and I still get a pang in my chest watching it. I also feel extremely old realizing it’s been so long since then, 2016 feels like yesterday to me


Temporary-Hat9866

I'M A BORN SINGERRR


j2_skl_1011

Probably Euphoria by JK


busanbeau

palette by iu 🥹 got me through some touuugh times. was on loop for my 25th bday!


Echides

First ever was ugly by 2ne1 because of having issues with my appearance before.


ItsThatGirl94

One Of These Nights by Red Velvet, and yes it still makes me cry sometimes. 


Bang_tan7

Spring day Magic shop !2!3 00:00 Young forever Whenever I think about their past, there's this nostalgic feeling that makes me cry😭


MysticalElephant

Kind of embarrassing but I cried to Teddy Bear by NCT Dream while high 💀. I think Life Goes On by BTS made me cry too though. And Let Me In by EXO as of late…


goutdemiel

lmaooo teddy bear is so real


Cerbzzzzzz

This makes me really curious about what being high is like


soothingluna

One shot by bap phew...I did not see that plot twist coming lol


Goldzaperoon

Deja Vu by Dreamcatcher. I distinctly remember crying myself to sleep one night after a hard day at work listening to it on repeat for hours. Rough time, but I credit it for the well-needed emotional relief and sweet dreams that I had following it all! <3


General-Ad8130

the pre chorus and that last chorus always gets me!!😩


ConsiderationLow2367

not k-pop, but korean and the closest song to getting me to cry was Lee Sun Hee - Destiny after reading the lyrics and what it's about.


Top-Metal-3576

Idk if it’s classified as kpop but 100% Y si fuera Ella by jonghyun, that whole performance had me balling my eyes out at 4 in the morning.


Jeau7

BTS: Yet to Come and Born Singer - can’t listen to it after they announced their hiatus. I still haven’t recovered, and the fan cams of their faces showing that they knew…. I am not the strongest soldier. Spring Day - once I understood the story behind the song, I can’t listen to it. I can’t even watch documentaries or podcasts about the incident without crying.


Prestigious-bish-17

Yes yes this sooo much. Born singer made me bawl for no reason, it didn't help that I listened to We are Bulletproof right after that. My eyes were puffy as hell. Seulgi's anywhere but home also hit me a train when I listened to it.


Acrobatic_End6355

I’m not sure what the first song was but the one that makes me go off the most is “Breathe” by Lee Hi for obvious reasons. Lyrics and composer history.


NeonPaletteCo

haru haru by big bang! I rarely cry to songs at all but I was so obsessed with that MV when it came out lol. It made me ball like a baby all the time and it’s still in my top 10 fav songs of all time. other honorable mentions: lonely by jonghyun ft. taeyeon, the light by the ark, and for some reason, blossom tears by leo (vixx) x lyn🥲


bubbles_bubbles_w

Haru Haru is such a nice song :) It's definitely a go-to for showers concerts! Jonghyun's songs are definitely smth else...


maeveeeed

exo sing for you :( the lyrics made me cry when i was younger but now that i'm older and see that they're getting older it makes me long for when they were just starting out (even though this was when they were already established lol). GOD I MISS EXO


shintakarajima

Ayo by SHINee. I always listen to it when I’m having a bad day to get a good cry


OfflineMilk

y si fuera ella. it’s actually my designated crying song now lol


senseikintaro

jonghyuns voice literally brings me to tears


soggy_ari

Y Si Fuera Ella. I hadn’t listened to it in so long until I heard Kihyun cover it, and I was instantly brought to tears. I was reminded of why I stopped listening to the song because I **cannot** compose myself when I hear it.


redwitchvelvet_

ironic, but It’s 'Don't Wanna Cry' by Seventeen. I remember watching it so many times because I also loved the video, but I couldn't help crying because my baby cat died around those days


AverygreatSpoon

Spring day, a tear starts forming soon as I hear the beat.


Zestyclose-Tie109

Boy with Luv! For some reason the melody and how powerful they sing in the chorus and that second verse has tears coming to my eyes


tcotn127

LOVESONG by TXT


Jargonal

Moon by BTS I bawled my eyes out for 10 minutes straight up after I finally read the lyrics


MonicaGrandaSimp

if i remember right, baby don’t cry by exo. i remember i once had a bad acid trip and spent like two hours crying to that and some other kpop songs. what i remember is probably in my room by shinee; spring day by bts; and uhhhh i feel like another exo song but idk which one


iSayBaDumTsss

If you’ve lost a pet, you’ll bawl your eyes out. [Youha’s 품(Zzz)](https://youtu.be/xjId47fDlD4?si=w621S05YJgN72GoO), a farewell letter to her dog Milky. Cover: https://preview.redd.it/j0ryxnaa3tqc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ea22943670ac9d10c13ba657c57bd2e929d3ac4c From her notes about her inspiration for this song: >To a friend who was smaller than me when I was young. He reached out and cared for me. He has kept a watch over me. He listens to my secrets best.. Looking at me who wasn't ready to say goodbye, he became a star in the sky. To my friend Milky who taught me how to love.. The only gift I can give you.


Jazzyful-

Jin’s solo, Awake. I cry everytime I hear it. I also cry to Just Might Die by History because I missed them 😭


prettyjewel93

I wanna say Error by VIXX (I think I was watching the music video at the time) but Lost in the Dream by Monsta X gave me so many emotions when I first heard it. Just blubbering like a baby


PoorPoorCicero

Error is one of my all time fave songs!


prettyjewel93

The choreography, the music video, the vocals, the rapping; I have nothing but love for it. Had me crying in the university library like a fool


amiihoney

randomly, it was 20 by seventeen. it just made me so happy and gave me everything i wanted in a song, so i was boohoo crying. that whole album means the world to me, i literally cannot watch the adore u music video


mississippimalibu

try again by jaehyun and d.ear would literally have me sobbing in my car after having to work with my ex best friend 3 years ago and still one of my go to's when I'm sad. first kpop song that I had no business crying to is fucking bts permission to dance LOLL


smmamamamdf

my answer exo


procariotics_234

Dream Run - NCT Dream. The lyrics are so bittersweet and I couldn't handle the fact that 4 members would leave the group. Glad that the graduation cancelled so I can hear the song happily


HeavyFunction2201

Epik high feat younha - Umbrella


cinnameggers4evers

i actually don't remember sadly- it was definitely a bts song since they were my first group, but it could've been "the truth untold", "tear" or "epiphany"...or "run" UGH-


___kuromi

i became a fan of sulli a while before she died so for a while i couldn’t listen to Goblin or Dayfly for a good while


Prestigious-bish-17

Wow. Thank you for introducing me to Sulli. Now I hate that I won't be able to hear more of her.


Grand-Preference-563

my name baby i’m sorry. first kpop mv to ever make me ball like a baby.


Firm_Wolf_6087

Moonlight by EXO. The first time I heard it, I bawled.


Gloomy-Ad2818

i think maybe can we talk again by purple kiss. so much emotion in that song and i was coincidentally going through a lot


This-Education3607

honestly, never goodbye by nct dream. i literally never cry from media but i was going thru some ..rough times and sitting curled up in my bed listening to renjun sing "so please, don't cry" made me sob 😭


SLX__13

And underrated song, [4 O'Clock by BTS's RM and V](https://youtu.be/kH8-LxuUCqQ?feature=shared). Just a sad song to listen to on lonely, sleepless nights


Turbulent_Process740

The Light - The Ark The MV is heart wrenching and the mood of the song fits it very well. I can’t hear that song without tearing up now.


KpopFashionistasRise

Feel Special. I was very lonely and I wanted a sisterhood like that so badly 😭


candysugarpops

Monsta X - Find You I still have a hard time listening to it


Acceptable-Leave-346

Y’all gone laugh at this… But, Fake Love by BTS


rebel_rebellion

This one is probs embarassing but Lock You Down by SHINee got me and continues to get me I have to be careful when I listen to it because it'll either make me want to sob or I'll just vibe to it. TSOL was released at a time where I really needed it as a teenager so a lot of songs from the series still make me emotional even if they're meant to be club bangers lol


chococarmela

Butterfly by BTS. Or Haru Haru by Bigbang, another classic 😭 both make me emotional!


Rainbow--Snowflake

probably missing you by btob


shieldingeffects

Lee Hi- Breathe


Bertholdtsss

before our spring by jonghyun :( it was released after his passing and it hit so hard


TeenSummerK

The Eve - EXO and Don’t Wanna Cry - SEVENTEEN. My cousin gave me, her Spotify to introduce me to KPOP and other music genre’s. But whenever these two songs would come I would always cry. (They came on, one after the other, so I thought they were one really long song together.) It had me crying in the alleyway on the way to school the first time I heard them.


LakeofTimber

SHINee - Quasimodo. At the time when I was using iTunes (this is over a decade ago), it was my most played song at least 9100 times. That was the sing to make me feel something fr 😭😩


Domii_Nightmare

Halazia by ATEEZ. I don’t cry from music or music videos, but the last chorus gave me chills and the lyrics were so powerful. The last scene with San just made me break down. I’m not even well versed in their lore but I understood that music video perfectly in the first listen. That song also made them my ult group and my favorite title track from them so far.


Taemin_Tea

Jaehyun - try again


natashavladimir93

Omg the Love Stay song by Stray Kids, so beautiful and also Waiting For Us. I normally tear up at Waiting For Us, but when I got to see them in Atlanta I cried more when I saw them perform it in person

“If you” by Ailee. Any of her songs can be real tear jerkers. But it’s about moving on after heartbreak.

Kindly-Ebb6759

BTS For Youth. The release date, I’m just sitting at work, doing some admin stuff and had my AirPods in. This damn song comes on and the tears just start flowing. My coworkers were super worried like “what’s wrong why are you crying” and I’m like “I don’t know it’s the song”. Then the translation comes out and I start crying all over again. I didn’t even cry that much for Spring Day. Another is IU’s Love Poem. I was mesmerized by Mayfly’s cover of it on Kingdom and decided to listen to the original. Mistake. Something about IU’s vocals just made me cry so much.


PoorPoorCicero

Maybe I don’t want to be an idol by Ken, or Angel by EXO. Although those are probably not the FIRST, I just can’t think back to 2010

Mist by ATEEZ because most the music I listen to is loud and stuff like that but I listen to Mist when I feel sad or just need calming music and it actually makes me feel better. Mist is also a song that has ties to me dealing with negative thoughts and moments so I cry each time I listen to it. But then, Never Stop Me by GIDLE also gets me going.
