2013 K-pop Bops

We are continuing on with our ‘10 years in K-POP’ and this time we are bringing iconic bops from 2013. Get ready for angst, sexy concepts and iconic music videos. Click here to read our ‘2012 K-pop bops’

Taeyang – RINGA LINGA

Starting off this list we had to include Taeyang’s iconic ‘RINGA LINGA’. This song is a must in K-pop parties, and most K-pop fans know the killing part of choreography for this song. A timeless bop from 2013.

BTS – N.O

Angsty BTS is an era everyone must remember. Back in the day ‘N.O’ was an underrated bop and we are more than happy that now it gets all the praise it deserves. This song is a youth anthem and it still hits hard.

T-ARA – NUMBER NINE

We had to bring back this banger, T-ARA did sexy concepts like this one, and their angelic vocals made it even better. This single besides being amazing also has peak aesthetics and amazing fashion.  

2NE1 – FALLING IN LOVE

‘FALLING IN LOVE’ takes us back to summer 2013 and we just want this single to have a comeback and receive all the love it deserves. 

After School – First Love

After School are the queens of iconic concepts and with this one they left us speechless. ‘First Love’ is not only an amazing listen but its music video also shows off their pool dance talent and great acting. Fans get basically everything with this sexy bop.

Miss A – Hush 

‘Hush’ was totally ahead of its time, if this song was to be released today it would be a total kill on the charts. We are still obsessed with this song and it will always be playing in our playlist.

GIRL’S DAY – Expect

Girl’s Day blessed the world with the track ‘Expect’. These queens totally rocked those suspenders. No one else can match this iconicness. 

B.A.P – ONE SHOT 

This track is insane and the music video is even crazier. We get the full works with heavy eyeliner, a dash of torture and a bonkers push up choreography that must have been exhausting. Absolute kings.

TEEN TOP – Rocking

The outfits in this music video are so painfully 2013, it’s kind of amazing. They brought back the shuffle move. The outro is a straight-up vibe.

LADIES’ CODE – Pretty Pretty

This video is iconic and delightfully crazy. The colours pop and you never know what to expect. Also the lyrics are a self-love anthem, we dig.
