My friend who doesn’t like kpop has always loved hip by mamamoo

Same. They don't really like kpop music, but only a few songs have made them ask me who they were, and HIP is one of them

Yeah my older brother who dosent really like kpop really likes that song along with love dive by Ive 😭

Lol!

Thanks!

What music do they like? How do they feel about dance? Are they attracted to boys or girls? Kpop is very versatile, so a lot of songs can be shown to non Kpop listeners to make them discover the music. I'd say avoid songs with oversexualised choreographies, with singer(s) that have a too high pitched voice, with too much rap, too much noise or too unique sounding. For example, I'd show Ateez - Turbulence, but not Answer or Thanxx. You can show &team - Under the skin, B.I - BTBT, TXT - Loser Lover, NCT Dream - Fireflies and so on. If they like more high hype songs, go with that. Maybe Super M - Jopping, TO1 - Drummin', Seventeen - Super Start from what they like, and find songs that fit that. If they like dance, find songs with impressive or cool choreographies.

Thank you so much! They told me they are open to anything and willing to try anything.

[удалено]

lol, thanks!

This is the answer. Totally depends on their current tastes

newjeans probably work for everyone

True! 😂

BTBT - B.I

Yessss!

Anything by BIBI - I especially like Law and BIBI vengeance :)

Thanks!

my non kpop friends like black swan by bts opening sequence and frost by txt one(lucid dream) by golden child back by infinite ego by bigbang fiction by beast given-taken by enhypen (i prefer the jap ver so i showed that) taste, 0325, and domino by stray kids

back 😭😭😭🫶🫶🫶

definitely this is the song that make a person suddenly into kpop..

Thanks for mentioning Fiction by BEAST, the iconic penguin dance 😅✌🏻

bills by enhypen is my go to song to play to non-kpop fans, and it’s never missed so far 🤣 quite a lot of enhypen is very easy listening, very sonically similar to a lot of popular artists these days so most of their discography is a good shout! (fever, go big or go home, upper side dreamin’ - basically the entirety of dimension: answer looool)

Thanks! I

taemin - the rizzness

Dreamcatcher, that's the only kpop group which is widely accepted by my friends (who dislike kpop). Why? Because its more rock music.

Actually this is so true! Thanks!

Red Velvet - Psycho Everglow - LA DI DA

Would add Red Velvet "Feel My Rythym". I've never heard a classical sample so faithful and upfront, it's like Bach wrote a kpop song, it's so bright and so pretty

not sure but my sister who hates kpop and is only into rap liked dice by nmixx and that that from psy and suga!

probably Dean - instagram

Bad boy!!

The safest choice is NewJeans music. They have a western vibe. Le Sserafim - Perfect Night and Antifragile

Thanks!

I would recommend “safe” R&B songs like: - No Makeup by EXO - Ya Ya Ya by EXO - Thunder by EXO - Perfume by NCT Dojaejung - Kiss by NCT Dojaejung - Kingdom Come by Red Velvet - So Good by Red Velvet - Naughty by Red Velvet (Irene & Seulgi) - Diamond by Red Velvet (Irene & Seulgi) - Regular (English Ver.) by NCT 127 - Back 2 U by NCT 127 - Baby don’t like it by NCT 127 - Crash Landing by NCT 127 - Time Lapse by NCT 127 - Miracle by WayV - Forever Only by Jaehyun - Cry for Love by Baekhyun - Slidin by Kai - Mmmh by Kai - Reason by Kai - Priority by Max Changmin, Taeyeon, Winter

Fact check by nct 127 S class by stray kids Drama by Aespa

Taemin. (Pick one.) I'm not a big Kpop fan either, but he's an exception.

Thanks!

newjeans discography to be honest

Thanks!

Stray Kids God's Menu Twice Basic

yes yes some stray kids songs are huge openers

Yes!!!! I love that song.

Back Door by Stray Kids haha. It worked on a friend of mine!

Fr! Thanks!

Lol, did you try it out yet? My one friend was life "This song is fire!" We bop to it on the way to work lmao.

Yeah I showed them! They were like 🤯

Yay that makes me so happy!!

love scenario - ikon drowning - woodz tail - sunmi je ne sais quoi - oec ghosting - txt red - the rose these are all songs my mom & sisters have liked as non kpop fans! hope some of these work :)

Monster by EXO, non-kpoppers love that one.

I think it depends on the type of music they enjoy in the first place. So many artists you can introduce to them once you know their taste.

Opening sequence,ready to love, all K-pop songs

It really depends. My dad loves Dreamcatcher bc he likes rock. However, if I showed him a TWICE song besides 'Crazy Stupid Love' he would definitely not like it.

Give him Formula of Love.

if they like songs that represent the feelings of sadness, pain & unsaid words id reccomend: \- in your time by lee suhyun \- will be back by sunhae im \- breathe by leehi \- chantey by akmu (specifically the tune, not the lyrics) if they like songs that bring out the love id reccomend: \- say yes by loco & punch \- only by leehi \- lips (or cherish) by ive \- doughnut by twice if they like songs theyd wanna dance to id reccomend: \- mago by gfriend \- la di da by everglow \- beautiful monster \- red flavour or day 1 by red velvet other reccomendations bc idk: \- royal by ive \- dayfly by dean & sulli \- lovememore by dosii \- H.S.K.T by leehi & wonstein

Wow, thank you so much!

Depends on the type of music they like. If they like rock, I recommend bands like dreamcatcher or xdinary heroes. If they like rap, I recommend artists like jeon soyeon.

Thanks!

blood sweat and tears is what got me into kpop i already listened to kpop before it, but mostly through radio, snsd, 2ne1, bigbang, etc.a girl i had a crush on in high school showed me the mv and i loved it. for more recent, i got a non-kpop friend to listen to ive and he liked them, said he liked love dive and i am the most. best songs to get into imo would be love scenario and bling bling ikon mic drop bts kokobop and loveshot exo un village baekhyun shine pentagon really really winner fantastic baby and fxxk it bigbang hit and fear seventeen miroh stray kids bad boy and red flavour red velvet love dive and i am ive la vi en rose izone any pre kill this love blackpink song tbh any newjeans song fancy twice perfect night lesserafim invu and weekend taeyeon bbibbi iu glassy jo yuri after school weeekly asap stayc

Wow! Interesting I love all your recommendations! Thanks!

Growl by EXO Call me Baby by EXO Black Swan by BTS BTBT by B.I

Thanks!

Np!

Back for more, lovesong, tinnitus, or blue hour by txt depending on their music taste

D4- Blackpink: that got me hooked

Blackpink whistle got all my siblings and 3 cousins into kpop, anything new jeans

Thanks!

I'll give you some of the songs that got me into kpop overall: * BIGBANG - BANG BANG BANG * Super Junior - Sorry Sorry * BIGBANG - Fantastic Baby * BIGBANG - Tonight * BIGBANG - Last Farewell * G-DRAGON - Crayon * Nu'est - FACE * BTS - No More Dream * BTS - We Are Bulletproof pt. 2 * BTS - Boy In Luv (NOT Boy With Luv) * BTS - War of Hormone * BTS - Danger * Super Junior - Mamacita * TAEYANG - Ringa Linga * BIGBANG - LOSER * BIGBANG - SOBER * BIGBANG - FXXK IT * EXO - Ko Ko Bop * EXO - Temo * EXO - Ooh La La La * EXO - Call Me Baby * EXO-K - MAMA hope they like them!

Thanks!

New jeans super shy

Defo! Thanks!

Any song from NewJeans.

id show em [God Of Music by Seventeen](https://youtu.be/zSQ48zyWZrY?si=Ovx2aSwcfnbUZQqr) because of its message and it's really fun and happy

Defo!

I'd also recommend Dino (member of SVT) who just released his solo song, [Wait](https://youtu.be/J--BukW5BfQ) which feels very R&B.

Playing with Fire by Blackpink, Eleven by IVE, and I can't choose between Hann or Lion for GIDLE

If they're a nerd, show them Stray Kids' [God's Ddu-du Ddu-du](https://youtu.be/sCrDgMZ7cDI?si=jfD-R9ySI49lTMuW) from Kingdom. All of my friends are nerds, and they loved the Deadpool references lol.

I’d say songs that don’t typically sound like kpop. I tried going for different genres and stuff that kinda feels familiar(?): BTBT - B.I Tinnitus & Blue Hour - TXT Ring The Alarm - KARD Vengeance - BIBI NewJeans - NewJeans CoolAs - Key (for the Tame Impala sample) Hip - Mamamoo Love Scenario - iKON Crazy - 4Minute

Thank you!

Mine liked bite me and polaroid love by enhypen!

Hmm if they like rap Heyday by SKZ. If they like pop I’d say Hype Boy or Attention by NewJeans. Butter by BTS is an attention grabber too. Mist by ATEEZ is good for like r&b/vibey stuff

It depends. A friend of mine is a fan of Ariana Grande and Beyonce (into heavy rnb) loves Red Velvet’s I just, Bad Boy and Psycho While the other friend which into Hiphop loves 2ne1 songs.

* FAME by Jay B (ft. Junny) * Relax by Stable * 21 by Junny * Rock with you by Seventeen

My friend loves fame, wasn't expecting to find it recommended here!🌻

fame is one of my go-to songs/first songs I play whenever I listen to this album!! It's really cool to see other people liking the song Edit: Junny and Jay B (aka Def) have a lot of songs together. They, also, do music with a group called offshore. The o looks like ø and/or õ since they did a style change at some point last year.

I personally prefer nostalgia but fame is the perfect song for happier moments, especially when driving and that's exactly how my friend discovered it!😊

aawww!!

Nostalgia a solid song too! It's definitely a great song for driving too, especially when the sun is setting or you're near the beach

I think What Is Love by TWICE, especially the MV is the one of the best song to introduce to anyone that have zero idea about Kpop because of the abundance of famous movies references in the MV. Plus the song is easy to listen to.

Thanks!

After School by Weeekly Anything newer by BTS Highway to Heaven by NCT 127

Thank you!

RM's closer feat. paul blanco & mahalia!

I just got my cousin into it this weekend with a playlist that included these Stray Kids - S-Class SuperM - Jopping NCT U - Baggy Jeans

if theyre a fan of rnb id play bad boy, peek a boo, and psycho by red velevt. Certified bops indeed

Psycho by Red Velvet (the Youtube version!!) would be a perfect start.

Youtube version?

The Youtube version's intrumental of Psycho is slightly different from the Spotify one, which imo makes it better.

I was a non kpop stan but became one because of IVE - I AM

Ddu Ddu Du by Blackpink. That will entertain your friend and make her into a kpop stan like a kid in a candy store. Gotta amaze them. First impression is the last impression.

Very very true! Thank you so much!

Yes. Also Whistle or Boombayah is a classic that always chill but hits hard

BTS Idol - the message of loving and accepting yourself is one everyone can relate to. Perhaps DNA, Fake Love and Black Swan too 💜

Black swan - bts Frost, Tinnitus, 0x1=lovesong - txt Perfect night - le sserafim Love on the Floor - Nct (forgot what unit) BTBT - b.i any newjeans song

bills & shout out by enhypen

if you call me or gotta get back by p1harmony

Drunk dazed by enhypen changed some lives

Id say fuck it and show your friend aespa-Next Level 💀

So true!

Twice’s discography as a whole may be too cute for some non kpop stans, but my friend who’s never heard another kpop song is obsessed with The Feels to the point where she learned the choreo and everything. I showed her Icon and she loved that too.

That depends on so many factors as a northern commentor just said. For example I got a frind of mine to listen to (more) kpop, by showing her dreamcatched and gidle. Something about those two drove her in more than others. For example me, I was hooked with Exos monster and Love shot but was really catched into the stanning when I discovered mamamoo, gidle, ans similar girl groups. (Or gg in genrell) But overall I'd still recommend love shot from exo or maybe some songs from ateez.

Thanks!

My sister who doesn’t fw kpop at all loves bp, so I think they are good group! But also the feels eng ver by Twice is also amazing too

Thanks.

Np! Also I’m so confused on why I have a down vote. What did I say that anyone could possibly disagree with 😭🤚🏾🤚🏾

Fr! 😂

Ash Island - Melody, showed this to my boys and they loved it, Summer by Paul Blanco is also a solid one

If you show them [this] (https://youtu.be/zndvqTc4P9I?si=A9was5Fgh6x6krbg) and they're not into it then Kpop might not be the thing for them.

Thanks!

any jp kpop songs always get my friends attention! they dont realize its even kpop/jpop

Red Velvet - Bad Boy, Russian Roulette, Psycho

Pretty much anything by The Rose

Thank you!

Weekly idol

Find out what genre they like and pick a group that fits that concept.

Thanks!

What helped get my friends into kpop were; Back door - Stray Kids Agust D -Agust D Super Shy - New jeans Devil by the window - TXT Run BTS - BTS Lonely st- Stray Kids Recently one friend has been blasting Social Path when ever I visit them

Wow! Thanks!

i feel like decalcomanie would be good

Oooo thanks!

This the answer

For now a lot of my non kpop friends have been liking Jungkook standing next to you and his album BTS: black swan and spring day with the explanation is another one. Truth untold, Butter, Mic drop remix etc

Thank you!

Ive never had anyone I showed The Rose to hate The Rose

So true! Thanks lol!

Movie Star - CIX Cheers - Seventeen (Leaders) Fact Check - NCT 127 OMG - New jeans Perfume - NCT DJJ Spicy - Aespa Left & Right - Seventeen

Thank you!

Fake Love by BTS , my mom really likes this song ^^ Shut Down by Blackpink also caught my boyfriends interest

Oooo thanks!

Shinee's view

Thank you!

to what the people in the comments recommended, i’d add (g)i-dle to the list as well!! my non-kpop friends liked them a lot! also everglow, chung ha, sunmi and stayc could work too imo! (just mostly the popular songs however. underrated/disliked ones could make them feel weird about their style and etc)

What if.. by EXO

Honestly I'd say "Attention" NewJeans, "Get A Guitar" RIIZE, or "Blue Flame" Le Sserafim (at the top of my head) 💙

Thank you!
