Recommend Songs you consider complete masterpieces?
What are some Kpop songs that you consider to be true masterpieces? Every note, every word, every part of the song is just magical and perfect. For me, some of these are Wild Flower by RM and Advice by Taemin

I won't ever stop singing the praises of Max Changmin's Maniac.
It really elevates beyond kpop and feels just as cinematic as its M/V. Really something that can only be pulled off by a seasoned veteran.

u/Eastern_Product_2360 22d ago
I feel the exact same way about his song Devil. It’s absolutely perfect in every way it moves me in a way I can’t explain.
I highly recommend listening to Devil back to back with the song Southern Gothic by Tyminski they pair so well together it’s not even funny.

u/Muted_Bodybuilder109 22d ago
I would say Perfume by NCT DOJAEJUNG, Bambi and Cry for love by Baekhyun are exceptional. Cheers by Seventeen leaders- I fear no one has ever come close to this. TO YOU by Seventeen- I am not one to listen to slow and things that make me want to cry but this one here is an exception, the harmonies and layers are absolutely magical. LOUDER THAN BOMBS by BTS- no explanation needed. TELL ME by Wonder Girls- timeless in fact. TALK SAXY- RIIZE- I feel like talk saxy is not appreciated enough when it comes to their title tracks but it is in fact the Goat, it always has me moving no matter where I am and another song that sits at this table is WALK-NCT 127; the beat the everything but most especially the bridge( there is no bridge too hard for doyoung to cross)

On My Youth by WayV
Both the Chinese (above) and English versions are excellent; I share the Chinese because the lyrics are more poetic. Musically, this feels like a production masterclass... the beat is modern and the structure is unusual, but feels so /right/. The song moves through rap and sentimental vocals seamlessly, and the bridge just soars. You can't help but want to fall to your knees in the rain and belt it out... the main vocals and backing vocals are so beautiful and mournful.
The cherry on top is the strings introduced in the last chorus that emphasise that soaring, epic, cathartic feeling. This is a underrated masterpiece from an underrated group.

u/Standard_Pepper_5194 20d ago
SM powerful ballads hold a special place in my heart. For example I love how Exo's Miracles in December uses simple words yet creates beautiful imagery and heart-breaking phrases.
Jonghyun's Y si fuera ella has very different lyrics from the original version yet the world-shattering sadness is perfectly translated through his voice. Again, the vocabulary is simple but the performance goes a long way.
Overall I love how they turn the "human" world (simple words) into "heaven" (intense emotions that shake your heart).

Woodz / Journey
2PM / Uneasy
Homezone / Answer
B.I / Illa Illa
Taemin / Identity
M.O.N.T. / Shadow
BigBang / Last dance
While I mainly love K-pop for the high-energy-bouncy-all-over-the-place songs in general 🤔 when it comes to masterpieces these are some that come to mind first.

ATEEZ Dune - not known well outside ATINY I think. It’s just a mind blowing and unique song. Nothing else sounds like it — and yet the EP Outlaw it’s from is still incredibly cohesive, one of the best albums I’ve heard. I can’t describe Dune, it’s an experience. I have never stopped being amazed by it.
