There are various K-pop songs that have different meanings and topics. Most of them are about love, may it be self-love or love towards a friend and the other sex.
Also, there are also songs that
SEVENTEEN '9-Teen'
This song is one of the OSTs of the famous web drama "A Teen". It talks about how they will be okay if they are together and with each other.
The web drama has a bunch of teenagers as cast and it centers around their youth and how they deal with it. The song is the same as it discusses how everything will be okay because they got each other's back.
Carats love this song by SEVENTEEN because they can relate to it, especially those of the same age.
"I really like 'To not regret the choice of today, trust yourself at this moment part. It makes me feel warm and don't ask me why xD"
Oh My Girl 'Sixteen'
Our next song is about that sweet age when people are mostly curious and excited about many things. "Sixteen" by Oh My Girl perfectly encapsulates the meaning of being in that age where people want to achieve so many things because they think it is the perfect age to do so.
However, they are still shy and not so confident about it because 16 is still considered young for many people.
The lyrics have a part where the ladies of Oh My Girl sings about trying to be fearless and brave as they dream of the future and that is relatable to many even the ones who are not sixteen anymore.
IU 'Twenty-Three'
One of the most famous songs that talks about age is IU's '23'. The song is written by IU and is about how 23-year-olds pretend to be adults even though they don't really know what adult is being about.
It is that age of confusion wherein individuals don't really know what they exactly want. There is a part in the song where IU sang about wanting to be in love or wanting to make money. She also discussed how that age is very sensitive because what she expresses on her face is different from what her heart really wants.
Rain '30Sexy'
This time, we have a song by Rain that talks about how being 30 is sexy. It is the first song he released after coming back from the military and his long hiatus.
His fans totally love this song because he is showing how proud he is at that age and when compared to many other K-pop idols, it is considered 'old'. But of course, he does not care because he is RAIN.
A fan commented on the music video that "If I looked that good at 30 years old, I would make a song about being 30 too tbh."
Song Jieun 'Twenty-Five'
In Korea, age 25 is considered the pretty age or the best age to experience many things. It is because one is not too young or old to do the things one wants and loves without caring that much.
Song Jieun's '25' is the perfect example of that as she sings about being the prettiest and feeling amazing. She also talks about feeling like a total woman as she becomes more daring.
The lyrics have a part where she says her skirt is getting shorter but she does not care even though all eyes are on her. She will do whatever she wants because she is 'beautiful, young, and free'.
Red Velvet's Yeri 'Dear Twenty'
Last but not least is an SM Station song sung by one of Red Velvet's members, Yeri. This song is about how the Red Velvet member is talking about her younger self.
She is comforting her 20-year-old version and saying things like she doesn't need to dress up or be anxious because it is okay to stop and reassess everything.
The song "Dear Twenty" is very relatable as many people would actually like to talk to their younger selves and pacify their concerns and worries.
