Korean songs that helped us get through quarantine

Quarantine has been going strong in most places. While most of us are able to travel a little, a lot of us are still working from home. It’s been a hot minute since the world has felt completely normal. That’s why we’ve selected some Korean songs to help us get through quarantine. 

Artists have been quarantining as well and that reflects on some new music that came out. Let’s take a look shall we.

Paul Kim – Quarantine

This song is really cute and it even mentions the dalgona coffee craze that went around. We were all just trying to stay busy.

Sunwoo Jung A – Idle Idle

‘Idle Idle’ really represents us when we eventually ran out of things to do and were just lazing about. 

Crush – Mayday ft. Joy (Red Velvet)

I feel like this song is the perfect example of our brains working overtime because we don’t get enough stimulation. The lyrics: ‘I did absolutely nothing, but I’m exhausted’ really hit the spot. #relatable

pH-1 – Homebody

This is the original quarantine song that came out two whole years before quarantine even hit. We are/were all homebodies. 

Millenasia Project – Be The Future (ft. Dreamcatcher, AleXa, IN2IT)

This song has no right to be as cute as it is. When they announced this track I was fully expecting major cringe, but it’s actually happy, fun and a total earworm. 

That’s it for this list of Korean songs that helped us get through quarantine. It’s not over yet, we still have a way to go before COVID-19 is completely gone. We can do it together though, with social distancing and face masks obviously.
