K-Pop Mixtape: Fantasy Tunes
It’s good to take a step away from this world and look to ghost stories and fairytales. Some of our favorite K-Pop songs feature characters that you would likely find in fantasy stories, and we’ve put them together in a list here.
Some songs, like EXO’s “Peter Pan,” mention fairytale characters in their titles, while others, like Orange Caramel’s “Aing♡” feature fairytale-inspired music video concepts. From older idols like Seo In Young and Taehwa to newer groups like B.A.P and NU’EST, many idols have been inspired by fantasy plotlines.
