School and life can become so stressful during midterms or finals. Trust me, I’ve been there myself! Fortunately, I realized early on that good, quality music can ease some of your tension and not take too much of your time. Below I listed five Kpop songs that will help you take a quick breather before diving into your work.
- “DIve” by Park Jinyoung
-
If you are in a rough patch, this upbeat song will definitely help you through it! Fun fact: this song was the first song he wrote right after leaving JYP Entertainment. Cheers to a new start!
- “That’s Okay” by Doh Kyungsoo
-
Let’s be real here: who doesn’t want to hear Kyungsoo reassure you that everything is okay? The cute animation, as well as Kyungsoo’s soothing, mellow voice is one of the best things to listen to when you need something to uplift your spirits while facing academic, social, and any other types of struggles that life throws at us.
- “Future” by Red Velvet
-
Who doesn’t love a sweet love song with Red Velvet’s smooth, delicate voices? This OST from the KDrama Startup was always played when the two main characters’ romance bloomed. Whether you are falling in love or not, the song’s hopeful beat will surely keep you feeling positive right before break!
- “Orbit” by Hwasa
-
Hwasa never fails when it comes to chill, meaningful OSTs (Official Sound Tracks)! Orbit is one of the OST songs from The King: Eternal Monarch and evokes such passion while being relaxing at the same time! You know it’s a good song if it can provide both emotions at the same time!
- “Universe” by EXO
-
Look no further than EXO when needing a pick-me-up! This song is perfect when you need to hear some heartfelt, soothing voices. Plus, who doesn’t love seeing EXO decked out in Burberry and the crazy amount of overflowing coffee (which we all need right now while submitting our papers!)?
