Almond ChocolateILLIT
ILLIT is a girl group formed in 2023.
Their title track “Magnetic” from the March 2024 album SUPER REAL ME won hearts around the world! This is their first original Japanese song, released in February 2025.
Co-produced by Nakajin of SEKAI NO OWARI and star producer Pdogg, it’s a sweet, poppy number.
It vividly captures overflowing feelings of love—so intense they’re hard to control—and honestly conveys the way you can become “addicted” to someone you’re completely obsessed with.
Listening to this track lets you savor both the thrill and the ache of love at the same time, like almond chocolate that’s sweet yet slightly bitter.
It’s a perfect karaoke pick for anyone with burning devotion to their fave or the frustration of unrequited love.
The cute melody is perfect for Valentine’s Day, too!
REBEL HEARTive
The girls’ group IVE, which continues its remarkable rise in the K-POP scene, released a catchy, karaoke-ready track in January 2025 as the lead single from their EP “IVE Empathy.” Marked by a powerful beat, the song celebrates a rebellious spirit that stays true to oneself and the strong bonds with friends, delivering a boost of self-confidence and courage.
Pick it for karaoke, and its empowering message will spur you on while deepening your sense of unity with your crew.
When you’re ready to take on a challenge or need to fire yourself up, belting this one out is sure to send your mood soaring!
VERY NICESEVENTEEN
It’s a pure and catchy song that really fits a boys’ group by SEVENTEEN, so it’s easy to sing.
There’s a rap part too, but the difficulty seems relatively low.
Above all, the simplicity of the chorus build-up is fun and highly recommended.
The phrase “아주 NICE” that appears in the title and chorus uses “아주,” which is like saying “super.” It’s a song about the pure thrill of love—total youth vibes.
Singing it will clear your mood and get everyone hyped.
Feel SpecialTwice
A mature song from TWICE, who usually have a cute image.
The sound, reminiscent of second-generation K-pop, feels a bit nostalgic.
It mixes sparkly tones with a touch of poignancy, letting you sing while immersing yourself in the melody.
If you look at the Japanese translation before singing, you can grasp the song’s message and world.
Knowing the meaning gives it a slightly more bittersweet, mellow feel.
YELLOWTREASURE
TREASURE is a boy group overflowing with heartwarming charm.
This piece, included on their special mini-album “PLEASURE,” released in March 2025, portrays the feeling of meeting someone you love—your heart warming and being dyed in colors like a sunny patch of light.
Set to rhythmic piano sounds and drum beats, the members’ refreshing vocals and rap deliver bright energy.
The light, buoyant sound and catchy refrain are wonderful, and the lyrics frankly present a fresh perspective on the shades of love.
Another highlight is that member Asahi took part in writing and composing.
It’s a song that will make you feel happy and pleasantly fluttery—perfect for singing with friends at karaoke.
DynamiteBTS
Here’s a song released in 2020 by the hugely popular BTS.
The bright and lively disco-pop track “Dynamite” became their first song performed entirely in English, created to lift the spirits of a world weighed down by COVID-19.
Even those who aren’t confident in Korean may find it easy to try at karaoke.
The music video has racked up hundreds of millions of views, showing just how beloved the song is.
If you learn the choreography and sing while dancing, you’ll probably enjoy it even more.
BANG BANG BANGBIGBANG
This song was released in 2015, but along with 2012’s “FANTASTIC BABY,” I think it’s probably a timeless K-pop classic.
It’s an absolute hype track, and since it has not only Korean lyrics but also a Japanese version, it’s easy for anyone to sing.
It’s great for blowing off steam on your own or getting pumped up with friends.
With lots of high-energy moments—like the onomatopoeic pistol sound “bangya”—it’s a highly recommended song.
