15 Iconic K-Pop Songs That You Should Know

by - October 05, 2020


Hey everyone!

So as you know, recently I've been a bit off schedule with my posts, but I revamped my blog and I'm determined to start afresh. Read my post on my Blog Updates for more info.

Because of this, I wanted to try something different. So, without further ado, here are 15 iconic K-Pop Songs that you should know.



Love Scenario by Ikon


To be honest, this is one of the first songs that got me into K-Pop. I'm pretty sure every single K-Pop fan knows this song, as they should. It's really timeless.


Up & Down by EXID


This is also another classic K-Pop song. Even if you haven't even listened to the full song, I'm pretty sure you could get up and to the chorus choreography without thinking about it. Am I right?


I'm So Sick by Apink


I'm So Sick by Apink remains one of my favourite Apink Songs. There's just something so nostalgic about the song and I truly believe it is iconic.


Ko Ko Bop by EXO


Okay, admit it, we all relate to that one fan who is sick of this song but proceeds to scream it at the top of their lungs. Tell me you've seen that video. But anyway, no matter what fandom you are from, you will know at least the first line of this song. *Shimmy, Shimmy, ko ko bop, I think I like it...*


Bang Bang Bang by BigBang


Is there anyone who isn't aware of this song? I'm pretty sure that everyone at least knows the 'Bang Bang Bang' part in the chorus. If you haven't heard this song, make sure to go listen to it.


I Am The Best by 2NE1 


If I'm being honest, this is probably one of the most iconic songs on this list. Everyone remembers this 2NE1 song. From the verses to the chorus, this song is the definition of iconic.


Taller than You by Mamamoo


Mamamoo is known for being quite a versatile group, and they can pull off a lot of concepts. They even have a few random or joke-ish songs in their discography, and this is one of them. This song is basically teasing the other members for their height and it is quite a fun song. Go give it a listen!


Move by Taemin


This song is sensual, it's dark, and it's iconic. I don't know how many times I've found myself trying to comprehend how Taemin does his choreography. To be honest, I'd have a hard time believing you if you said you didn't know this song.


Gee by SNSD


So, I will admit, I am not really a 2nd Gen K-Pop Stan (come at me if you please,) but I have heard this song. And I will also admit that the 'Gee, Gee, Gee, Gee, Gee' does cross my mind occasionally. Tell me what you guys think of this song.


Crazy by 4Minute


Out of the few 4Minute songs that I've listened to, this might be my favourite. This song is Iconic. Everything from the choreography, to the concept to just the song, everything is on point in this song.


Gangnam Style by PSY


This song IS the OG. No questions asked. Everyone from K-Pop fans to Non K-Pop fans know this song. I don't think I'd believe you if you said you don't. I'm sure everyone remembers the time where we would all do the choreography whenever we heard this song. This song is ICONIC.


Shine by Pentagon


Shine by Pentagon is a classic. It's a really fun and upbeat song, and I really like the choreography as well. This song also has a nostalgic feel to it.


Gashina by Sunmi


Admit it, we can all do the choreography for the chorus of this song. If you've watched Random Play Dances before, when this song is played, almost everyone is up doing it. This song is really iconic.


Ddu-Du-Ddu-Du by Blackpink


Blackpink is really blowing up nowadays, and even with all of their recent releases (thank God they're getting any) I think this might be their most popular song. Everyone knows the 'Hit You with that Ddu-Du-Ddu-Du Ddu' part of this song. If you haven't already listened to this song, go do it!


Any Song by Zico


Last but not least, Any Song by Zico. I'm pretty sure we've all seen at least one K-Pop Idol doing the Any Song challenge, and to be honest, this song is just really nice. It's one of those songs that I don't think I'd ever skip. It's simply Iconic.


    Okay, guys, that concludes my list of Iconic K-Pop songs. I hope you agreed with my list. Before I go, I would like to thank the r/kpophelp community over on Reddit for helping me with this list.

    If you have anymore iconic K-Pop Songs, Be sure to put them in the comments, and I made even make a part two of this post. (If you use a username, I might just credit you if I do make a Part 2.)

    So, with that being said, I hope you enjoyed this post,

    Stay Safe,

    Ciao xx
