Nan Arayo (I know), topping the list at No. 43, which speaks about youth, is still known, especially among Koreans, despite its release in 1992.

6. Mirotic (TVXQ)

TVXQ, the K-pop group pioneering the second-generation of K-pop wave, is surely on the list at No. 39! The song didn't only top domestic charts, but it also gained massive success in Japan, bringing home several awards, including a Daesang from Golden Disk Awards.

4. Fantastic Baby (BIGBANG)

What's with the list without the "Kings of K-pop" BIGBANG, right? Thus, Fantastic Baby at No. 31 is evidence of their dominance!

With its significant lyrics and meaningful choreography, the song reflects a person longing for spring in the cold winter. Despite loneliness and sadness, this song will remind you that in time, you will surely find your happiness once your winter days passed.

2. Sherlock (SHINee)

Truly one of the most unique songs in this list, the "Princes of K-pop" SHINee, made it at No. 14 with their song Sherlock. This song is interesting as it was a remix of their two tracks, Clue and Note, pioneering Korean "Hybrid Remix" single. The song is not only catchy, but as the title suggests, the song will keep you guessing, accompanied by detailed choreography imitating detectives.

1. Moon (BTS)

The highest-ranking boy band song in the list, Moon of BTS (Jin), ranked at No. 5.

The song conveys the group's love for their fans, expressed through the voice of Jin, referring their fans as their Earth; while they serve as the moon that lights up and orbits around them.
