Top Ten Kpop Songs With a Sad Rhythm

The Top Ten

1 It Hurts - 2NE1

I like the meaning of the song. The pain of heartbreak.. This song always make me cry.. - erabellz

Nice production and costume of 2NE1 girls. I think the video inspired from Rapunzel, cause DARA look like Rapunzel here and the three girls are singing in the roof top. Amazing.

Nice song. Nice costume and make-up of Bom in the video.

That's awesome.

2 Lonely - 2NE1

I love the words to this song. The beat is slow and can be played with a guitar, but is still so easy to listen to and fall in love with. Almost everyone loves this song because of how 2NE1 sang it and how it sounds.

It was the first song that I hear from 2NE1 and I fell in love with it!

Although, I'm not really interested in 2NE1's oeuvre, I think this song is really amazing and touching without being too sad.

This is the cute thing I ever heard and it's can make me fall a sleep

3 Missing You - 2NE1

This is a very sad song, very nice, especially their harmonious accents. Bom's voice can make us cry. Very nice song. When it was released Missing You of 2ne1 topped 5 seoul music charts.

I can't listen to this song in public, because I cry every time I hear it

This song is the best among with It Hurts and Lonely too.. Wait! 2NE1's songs is in TOP 3! Who's BlackJack here? Look! 2NE1 Jjang!

Very unique mysterious Instrumental adding Boms unique belting, CL's fiery rasp, Minzys smooth tone, Dara's sweet lines and Lydia Parks Amazing backing vocals.

4 It's You - Super Junior

For me this is one of Super Junior's best songs going from line division to the music and lyrics, and their vocals.

The song lyric is so sad it's alove by one side, who spend his time and life for his lover even she with another man. - kkumhaelee

Super Junior is always the best in all genre, now and forever super junior...

The first sad song I heard

5 Blue - Bigbang

Blue is from Big Bang's most recent mini album. I love this song so much and it describes all of the hard times Big Bang went through in 2011 when they nearly broke up. Their mini album, Alive has such a great meaning with amazing songs that won them so many awards!

I'm fall in love with this song. The chorus is always destroy my head.

Blue definitely. Because it showcases the hard times that BigBang, especially GD and Daesung, went through in 2011. They really did a good job, after all that happened. It's a really touching song.

6 Fiction - Beast

I really feel like after listening to this song so many times there is no forgetting it! I still cry to it till now

The music, the beat, the lyrics, the execution... All so melancholic but so beautiful at the same time. After listening to Fiction I don't feel like listening to any other song. That's how beautiful it is.

It has a really strong and sad meaning. Losing the one you love and not being able to move on...I can't but cry every time

The songs and it's great meaning makes me cry whenever I thought someone (lol, how dramatic I am). So great 👌👍👍

8 In My Dream - Super Junior KRY

This is my favorite heartbreaking song of KRY. I could feel the emotion. When I listen to it, it's like we are sharing the pain.

The song is amazing! KRY really sings the song with so much emotion and passion in their voices!

I like this song and the way they sing is just so emotional and simply breathtaking! SUPER JUNIOR IS AWESOME

This ih the beat song

9 Miracles In December - EXO

The first time I heart this song, I really cried even I don't understand the lyrics.

THIS ONE REALLY MADE ME CRY! Believe, though I don't know it's meaning, I cried to it. The melody and it's rhythm is already a clue for it's sad meaning. Believe me, this one is good.

When you know the meaning ( you can search it on Google..) Its really really sad! You may cried even more!

This definitely made me cry

10 In Heaven - JYJ

It's so touching, I adore it, I listen to it whenever I'm sad or happy, It encourage me to always keep the faith

Gave me goosebumps because of the message it shows and how their vocals arwe so awesome!

The lyrics are SO deep. Jaejoong (JYJ) composed this song himself because he was so sad that his friend committed suicide. It gives me goosebumps every single time.

This song is so beautiful <3
It's really touching and the lyrics makes me think every time

The Contenders

11 I Need U - BTS

This was what started the best moment in life trilogy, it's seriously so heartbreaking once you get to know the story behind the music video, it really gives you a different perspective at how you view a heartbreak.

It's my favorite song! The lyrics are beautiful, and if you go deeper into the fandom you will understand why it's so beautiful. The Music Video is very deep and have a lot of meanings. There are theories about it.

If you get deeper into the fandom, it's about brotherhood, how the roles committed suicide, how the main role misses his friends. But there a lot of theories som yeah o.o

No doubt "I Need U" is the top tier sad love song and the urban mix version is even better!

12 Haru Haru - Big Bang

It's such a beautiful song. The lyrics and music combined make it so sad, yet still so beautiful.

HARU-HARU is a sad song, but there is rap in this song, so amazing!

Deep painful feelings behind those amazing rapping parts. The lyrics kill, the rhythm addicts, and the MV seems frustrating.

Honestly this should be first. Not even a vip and I cry every time I listen to it. The lyrics are beautiful and not normally superficial.

14 Please Don't - K.Will

K.will is the best singer in Korea. His voice can make me die also this song's video is quite different and surprising.

The music video plus his strong high vocals made me cry. When I was feeling sad and I always listened to this song. I think it should be number one though too.

I didn't vote for this song but this is really sad. For those who say that this song is number one PLEASE CHECK OUT BIG BANG'S HARU HARU, it will make you cry the second nile river.

The music video and his beautiful voice are perfect. 😭

17 Please - Kim Hyun Jung

Honestly, I like this song more than "Break down", I think Kim hyun jung proved that he is really talent by this song!

18 Butterfly - BTS

One of the best songs by bts. the kind of song youd want to listen for relaxation and peace

This song tells that they don't want to lose someone. Like if they let go of "someone" 's hand, "someone" will fly away and break. Like "someone" 's there but for some reason, they can’t reach it. Just like a butterfly.

19 It's All Lies - B.A.P

Their voices sound so beautiful in this song and the lyrics are so beautiful and well written

Beautifully well written and perfect execution of the vocals. Clap clap clap.

The lyrics are so meaningful plus the vocals are well executed

I love B.A.P I hope they continue to make more music!

28 Severely - FT Island

I cried as I listen to it for the first time. This songs makes me feel sad. So I think, FT Island expressed this song very well. I also watched its MV and its really heartbreaking. I admire Lee Hongki's acting. Great.

Why I <3 ft island song?.. just hear & you can feel the pain from your past love.. before this I never know Korean song that can touch my heart.. this is very first Korean band that produce great quality song of Rock Ballad.. some of their song and lyric are inspired from a real love story.. their song expresses how difficult someone to move on from love.

29 Downpour - I.O.I

The fact that this was released before the group's disbandment makes me tear up already. Woozi is really a talented song-writer knowing he made a million of people cry with this song.

This is my favorite song from her and in general this is my favorite song and I know many on this list as well but this song is so amazing. I love her voice so much

38 Even If I Can't Sing - Se7en

Park jin young is one of the best composers in Korea and he never make mistake in music;Beautiful song, beautiful melody and Se7en's beautiful voice, it's "Even if I can't sing"!

Se7en is an amazing singer, and amazing dancer, and has amazing vocals. He's just perfect. Who wouldn't want to be like him?
It's very rare to see an idol singing about his/her own experience like Se7en did in 'Even If I Can't Sing'. Probably one of the most inspiring singers out there.

I love this song but I do like Jbs cover on this in Dream High! That's how I found out about this song!

It's a very nice song.Both lyrics and music make sad sense.

41 Love Sick - FT Island

This song deserve more vote..this song totally sadder than top 10 songs in this list..u guys should listen even once

42 Good Person - Super Junior

This song's got an upbeat rhythm but a very heartbreaking story behind. It tells a story of a guy whose always been there for the girl he loves, yet was only viewed as a good person for the girl loves another man. I've always thought the song tells a happy story not until I saw the English subs and I was like "this song is actually too heartbreaking". The guy in the song's story is such a martyr, too much of a good person, he was always there but the one he loves never sees him T. T

The rhythm is very nice~Also I love the lyrics of this song~Te first time I listen to this song I cried...

43 Sorry, Sorry (Answer) - Super Junior
44 Missing You - Teen Top

This a mellow, sad love story that drips with regret and the freshness and rawness of a bleeding heart. It's the knowing of never being able to turn back to the past- to love a person you love with freedom. It's the knowledge that kills from the inside- the knowledge that the once blooming relationship has gone stale, and you can do nothing but cling onto the ghosts of your loved one- by grasping onto people that have the flicker of the same spark of that special person.
Having to lie to others to ease your own pain- and the guilt that builds up from being such a horrible being.

The song about how a boy who still have feelings for his ex and want to find a girl like his ex.. So sad..

I really love Chunji voice in this song!

The lyrics is about a boy that find a girl like his ex. The boy want to make that girl into his ex.
It's really sad lyrics. You should hear this song! Niel voice is nice in this song, L. Joe rapp sounds good too!

45 Only Tears - Infinite

This song is really sad. Even without the translation! You can hear the pain in all of their voices! Especially Sunggyu's. Even when they perform it live they start to cry. Amazing song I recommend!

The song is wonderful

46 Really I Didn't Know - Baekhyun and Chen

47 That Woman - Baek Ji-young

When I listen to this song I always cried it touch my heart, it's an amazing song of an amazing drama Secret Garden

This is a MUST, MUST, MUST-LISTEN song. This is the best OST in Secret Garden. BAEK JI YOUNG is indeed an OST QUEEN.

She is wonderful, all her songs are beautyfull and I chosed "That woman" because it's song of popular drama "Secret garden"!
