Nan Arayo - Seo Taiji
Korean | Pop
This was the first Korean song I had heard; although at the time it was pitched as a Japanese song and I didn't know any better. This was a part of the "3 Ninjas Kick Back" soundtrack and played when they first arrived in Japan. It's a good, old song with nineties sounds.
Suteki Da Ne - Lee Soo Young
Korean | Pop/Ballad
This is the Korean version of "Suteki Da Ne" originally sang by RIKKI for the Final Fantasy X soundtrack. I really like this version much better than RIKKI's as Lee Soo's voice is much more suited to it. The song is mellow but orchestral and her voice brings out the best in the song.
With U - Bi/Rain
Korean | Pop
One of my favorite Bi songs, it's upbeat and fun. It's from his movie, "I'm a Cyborg But That's Okay" (I think that's the English title). Enough said.
Chun Gook Eh Gi Uk - Jang Jung Woo
Korean | Pop/Ballad
From the "Stairway to Heaven" drama, it's a great song with great soothing vocals. The song's guitar almost gives it a latin feel that adds to the song's depth. It's what made me want to watch the drama (still haven't started yet).
Nunun Wheh - Chulie & Miae
Korean | Pop
Another pick from the "3 Ninjas Kick Back" movie that I thought was a Japanese song but is actually Korean. It's an old song, too (as denoted by the interlude with the English rap-ish words thrown in), but catchy. I really like the rap bits in here and how it contrasts with the chorus.
