Korean music as a whole is seen as preppy, happy, and a feel-good genre. But little did people know that there are also a handful of K-pop music videos that will make your skin crawl.
We list 8 hauntingly beautiful music videos from girl groups that will either keep you awake at night or will question the existence of this world.
Dreamcatcher - 'You & I'
First on our list is definitely a group that has created more than one haunting and a bit scary music video. But, we will put "You & I" as it is part of their Nightmare series.
The album "Nightmare: Escape the ERA" was released in 2018. The music video is almost 'satanic' as the ladies are offering one of their members and encircling her.
Watch it here and judge for yourself!
Sunny Hill - 'Pray'
This K-pop music video is probably one of the most, if not the scariest, music videos of all time. It is also sad and very meaningful at the same time.
Showing a man with a distorted face like he is some kind of an animal that the scientists are experimenting on, will really get to you. Combined with Sunny Hill's vocals and the slow haunting song, this music video is like a short film that everybody needs to watch.
Aside from "Pray", I think we have to give an honorary mention to another Sunny Hill's amazingly beautiful music video that is also star-studded, "Midnight Circus".
Stars like IU, Brown Eyed Girls Gain, and Highlight's Lee Gikwang are all in the music video depicting the real life of circuses.
If you haven't watched these two masterpieces of music videos, then here they are!
Brown Eyed Girls - 'Cleansing Cream'
From beginning to end, this music video will give you shivers. Starting from the amazing acting to the Brown Eyed Girls members' vocals plus the slow singsong rap and the music, the music video is definitely on our list.
Though it may seem a bit confusing at first, as you watch the music video, you will get what the story is saying and what it wants to project.

Nature - 'Girls'
You know a music video is definitely disturbing if it has an uncensored version. And that is exactly what Nature's "Girls" is all about. This music video is probably one of the best horror concepts done in the world of K-pop.
