K-Pop Mixtape: 10 Breakup Anthems To Mend A Broken Heart

Valentine's Day is all about eternal love, but that can change in an instant. If your day suddenly turns sour and you find yourself burning your gifts instead of enjoying them, you'll need a go-to breakup anthem.

K-pop is filled with lyrical failed relationships. Did he suddenly disappear? Did she break up with you without a single reason? Were you in the middle of dinner when the cheating bomb was dropped on you? Korean artists have sang about every possible romantic disaster. But they always pick themselves back up and release three more pro-love singles.

So, if you're eating ice cream while throwing your boyfriend/girlfriend's things out a window, here's a playlist that perfectly describes your feelings.

1. TVXQ's "Keep Your Head Down"

We broke up.

I couldn't even hear the reason.

The people around me all look at me as one and ask, "Why are you like this? Why are you like this? Why are you like this?"

I'm already the bad guy.

2. San E's "Break Up Dinner"

For the last time,

Let's eat together, I'll buy.

Don't worry, I won't even hold your hand.

Let's just sit at a table like before,

I just want to watch you eat deliciously, that's all.

3. 2NE1's "Go Away"

Just say what you gotta say.

How can you be uncool to the very end? Fiancé? Beyonce!

I'm walkin' out of destiny.

Not pitifully alone, but a glamorous solo,

That's my way.

4. LeeSSang's "Can't Breakup Girl, Can't Breakaway Boy"

I hope you might feel better but,

I continue to be in debt to my thoughts.

As I walk and tease you, it's all a played out game.

Love is passing,

Love and heartbreak are one and the same.

5. Beast's "Take Care of My Girlfriend"

A friend of mine asked me today,

If he could go out with you.

Since I had broken up with you,

He said he'd cherish you in my place.

6. Ailee's "Singing Got Better"

My singing got better after breaking up with you.

After living crazily with music, all of the song lyrics,

Seemed like my story so I sang them to death.

Little by little, slowly, my tears dried.

Some day, you will probably call me,

Then I hope you will be a man and congratulate me.

7. MBLAQ's "It's War"

You made her cry again,

You coward, you, who messed with my love.

It's war!

On the day she left, you pretended not to know and told me to forget it all.

I trusted you, you were my friend - how could you do this to me?

I will curse you from now on.

8. 2AM's "I Was Wrong"

The stories regarding your other men.

The stories regarding your behavior.

I tried to ignore and pretended that I didn't hear but,

The way you act when you are intoxicated,

The way you smile at my friend.

Change it! Stop it!

9. Gummy's "Let's Break Up"

There was a time when I thought you were the one that I've longed for,

But now I know it was a dream.

You and I were just not meant to be,

So, it's best if we part our ways.

I think now it's time, let us say goodbye.

10. 2NE1's "It Hurts"

You wear the shoes I gave you and walk along the streets with her.

As if it were nothing, you kiss her.

You spray the cologne I gave you and embrace her.

You'll probably repeat those promises you made to me with her...
