I know, I know. Ballads are NOT a staple of these kpop posts, but when my favorite singers turn out some great tunes, I can’t ignore them. Come see if these ballads will make it onto your playlists!

Ha Hyunsang – “Lighthouse”

Ha Hyungsang’s light, clear tenor is perfect for conveying the wistful emotions behind “Lighthouse.”

Minho – “Heartbreak”

This song is made for driving late at night with the sound turned WAY up. Love Minho’s strong, rich vocals in this mellow, thoughtful song.

LUNA – “Let Me Be Your Night”

Lee Jun Young is really getting to showcase great music for Let Me Be Your Knight, and this song is no exception.

V – “Christmas Tree” (Our Beloved Summer OST)

I love this sweet ballad. It’s a perfect fit for V’s growly voice, and a perfect fit for Our Beloved Summer.

ONEUS, ONEWE – “Stay”

I love it when these brother bands collaborate, and “Stay” is a great example of exactly what they’re capable of.
