One of the unique things about K-Pop that makes it different from other genres is how it mixes vocals and rap in its songs. Hence, why there is a vocal line and rap line in most groups. However, some K-Pop songs don't include rap verses, but that doesn't mean that they aren't just as good as other songs.
With that, here are six K-Pop songs, from ENHYPEN to BLACKPINK's Rosé, that don't have rap verses!

"Given-Taken," which was released back in 2020 as the group's debut track, cemented ENHYPEN's position in the industry as one of the top performing fourth-generation groups. This song just showcased their smooth vocals, in addition to the addicting melody!
2. SEVENTEEN - 'Don't Wanna Cry'
Who said rappers can't sing? SEVENTEEN proved just how talented and versatile they are by releasing "Don't Wanna Cry," which is arguably one of the most popular song by the group.
