Introduction
Hi everybody,
I'm @shawnnft. This is my post for the #threetunetuesday playlist which is a contest hosted by
@ablaze. Today, I will feature 3 Korean songs. I have many Korean songs that I like so I will make this into a series. This will be part 1. Korean songs were the type of songs I found after the time the mainstream English songs started talking about drinking, sex and drugs. This was around 2010/2011 if I'm not mistaken. I want to say I'm more of an old-school Kpop fan.
I really liked Korean songs at that time because they were really pure. Most of the lyrics would be super meaningful without all the drinking, sex and drugs like most of American songs at that time. Even though I like Kpop, I'm not super knowledgeable on all the new groups unless they are the famous groups like Blackpink. The one thing I find interesting about Kpop is that there's not just one singer It's usually a whole group of 4+ members that sings and dances.
#1. Fantastic Baby - Bigbang
The first song I chose is Fantastic Baby by Bigbang. Bigbang is an old school Kpop group that was quite popular back in the day. They were part of YG Entertainment which was their record label. They did have a period where they had to take a break because the members had to go the army which is a mandatory thing for men in South Korea. Anyways this song is just a super nice upbeat song that you can play at parties. You can dance to this song. The song is about going crazy and having a good time dancing at a party.

#2. In The End - Kim Woojin
The second song I chose is In The End - Kim Woojin. This song is actually from a Korean drama called Reborn Rich. I highly recommend watching this if you haven't watched it yet. It's about a guy getting reborn into a rich family and he wants to take revenge on who killed him in his previous life. Anyways, I love this song as the lyrics are about a guy being reborn and not being able to recognize himself. He doesn't like how he was reborn as this different person and just wants to get back his old life. He's getting more into the role of his new reborned life and he doesn't like how he's changed this way. That's why in the lyrics he says "I can't breathe" and "Let me Live". Anyways that's just my interpretation, feel free to interpret it the way you like and I hope you enjoy this song.
There are English subs in the video if you are interested in the meaning so I didn't post a link for the lyrics for this song.
#3. Day 1 - K.will
Finally, the last song I chose is Day 1 by K.will. I decided to choose a happy go lucky song as the last song. This is a sweet love song that's basically a guy confessing his love to a girl. He wants to be with her and even everyone around them thinks they are good together. He says he's not that handsome but he will do better than the other guys. One of the funny lyrics he says is that he's the most handsome out of the ugliest guys. He wants to start a relationship with the girl and tells her that today is day 1. Day 1 meaning the first day that they are together and that's how the title of this song came to be.
