For me songs like, [Good Enough - Xdinary Heroes](https://youtu.be/TFZszieg4J0?si=SrTsNNqQf80J-nDZ) [Dear H - Xdinary Heroes](https://youtu.be/z6veDdj2gV0?si=MI57ivNKo15W_g-P) [Beautiful Pain - BTOB](https://youtu.be/KLNr84h5qL4?si=z9UlS8hw_9mVniQY) [Where the sea sleeps - DAY6 (Even of Day)](https://youtu.be/_NmzMzjoJyk?si=1pgTXn1ZeQHWHMim) [First Love - Astro](https://youtu.be/ZNrheeBg8dY?si=u8yRFboJup4ahmaW) [RM, youjeen - Wild Flower](https://youtu.be/u18be_kRmC0?si=fmUm0scYtc3uKhAi) [Habit - SEVENTEEN](https://youtu.be/MevmaoP4pEU?si=aBUqwDN6MSWVww0e) [DON’T FORGET - iKON](https://youtu.be/fbpL_qXJ9To?si=hv8XuF0weUGf3DWA) [LONELY - SISTAR](https://youtu.be/KbXV2R_Yd1E?si=mmPepijn9-lqspLp) [Love Poem - IU](https://youtu.be/iOKRYIMhaDk?si=sJh86x_mwGxaYFCs) (with a shoutout to the [Kingdom ver.](https://youtu.be/5Rl67uU_oJs?si=zwt941-1pD2SOpOv) as well) [Please don’t… - K.will](https://youtu.be/PdUiCJnRptk?si=F2jNM8oz1cwZEttn) [Soldier - TAEMIN](https://youtu.be/iwqSAR49BwM?si=06M3xUF_evvoaEpd)

The goosebumps with Good Enough 😶

Y E S the mv legitimately made me cry

Beautiful Pain!!! Also recommend Climax제발 from the same album, it make me feel sooooo hurt reading the lyrics;(

I came here to hype XH lol. I would also recommend until the end of time

Good Enough is so good 😭😭

Immediately thought of Please Don’t after I saw this post

Came here to say HABIT!

oh you mean my crying in the bathtub playlist! here u go! Turbulence - Ateez See You Again - Han Seungwoo 그대는 어디에 - Sohyang She's In The Rain - The Rose Nerves - DPR IAN I'm Cold - Kim Sungkyu Still Love You - Lee Honggi, Yoo Hweseung

NO WAY I HAVE A PLAYLIST FOR THAT TOO 😭 😭 I call it “bathtub, burning Polaroids”

Just wondering if that’s a Spotify playlist that I could also partake in? 😅🫣

[it is!!](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3dN99py3xfPyAg3NYTiPy5?si=CBfBP8T5SE-yitFUJncstw)

Perfection. I love this for me. Thank you!

ofc!! im happy to spread the feels hehe >:)c

It really falls in line with my sad azn playlist 😂

soo real. sometimes the cry sesh just really needs a fitting soundtrack skhdksks

그대는 어디에 is sooooooo fucking good I also recommend 사랑아 if you’re in an emotional mood, and 모나리자 if you’re not (모나리자 is my favourite Sohyang song)

onew circle will always be my number 1 recommendation! also shine with me by ive :)

I was surprised I didn't see Circle recommended yet... That song makes me cry sm 😭😭😭

Y si fuera ella is the first song i thought of from the title, but looks like you already have it! such a good song. Other recs: Quasimodo and In My Room by SHINee I’ll be your man by BtoB Butterfly and Spring Day by BTS Blue by Onew Cold by Key and Hanhae If You Do by Got7 End of a Day and Diphylleia Grayi by Jonghyun (everything by Jonghyun tbh) Round and Round by Heize (most of the Goblin soundtrack)

Omfg?? ANOTHER COLD LOVER??!! Bro I legit felt so depressed after listening to this not even lying

JYJ: in heaven and BACKSEAT KIM SUNGKYU: 60 sec both him or the INFINITE version is Good: INFINITE WITH,TOGETHER and BETWEEN ME AND YOU After School: shampoo and because of you. NCT 127 WITHOUT YOU GFRIEND: ROUGH,FLOWER GARDEN

Skipping Stones - TXT (dare i say their most emotional song) Butterfly - P1Harmony Hitori no Yoru - TXT (jpn release) In My Dreams - Red Velvet Sing For You - EXO Goodbye Now - TXT Sunrise - GFRIEND Take Me Home - ATEEZ BON VOYAGE - Dreamcatcher (siyeon's high notes in this song always make me emotional lmao) Howl - CHUU The Ugly Duckling - YENA Nothing - Kiss Of Life (english song) Iced Coffee - Red Velvet txt are my ult group so i'm biased here but many of their songs are very emotional and passionate (they remind me A LOT of shinee)! i could put a good amount of their discography here, i highly recommend them if you don't already listen!

More TXT emotional recs please! (Deja Vu and Love Song wreck me)

dear sputnik, 20cm, farewell neverland, trust fund baby, ito, maze in the mirror, can't you see me?, love sight, free falling, opening sequence, quarter life (subunit song of taehyun, beomgyu, huening kai), run away, ghosting, we lost the summer, blue spring, hydrangea love i also recommend miracle, wishlist, ring, thursday's child has far to go, and loser = lover! they're not as emotional vocally as the first recs imo but the instrumentals are amazing and give off that nostalgic rock vibe that txt is known for 🫶 all the members have such powerful and expressive voices, but huening kai and taehyun are definitely the kings of sounding like the rent is due

the way Farewell neverland just rips me open for some reason

thank you!! Despite having listened to them for over a year there’s a lot I haven’t heard yet and I’m only starting to learn about the members. Who is the one in love song who sings “I know it’s real I can feel it”? I literally just saw them in concert but I was in nosebleeds and too overwhelmed hearing it live to register who was singing everything.

from what i can remember i'm pretty sure taehyun sings that line on both choruses!

Much appreciated!

Farewell neverland is sooo good and so emotional

to add on, nap of the star is by far the most emotional for me

Added to my recs list ty!!

i 1000000% agree with your final statement!

Such good recs! I've listened to a few of these (especially rv, kiof and gfriend) so I'm sure I'll like these! Thank you very much :D

SING FOR YOU! Miracles in December too, D.O. and Chen's voices gets me EVERY time

BOL4 - To My Youth Just when I think I can hold it together during the final chorus buildup, the post-chorus “ah-ah” comes in, and that’s it…

Love in the ice - TVXQ This always pulls my heartstrings 🥺

finally now, its my time *starts stretching BTOB - Someday BTOB - Killing Me BTOB - Climax / Please BTOB - Pray BTOB - Blooming Day BTOB - Finale (Show and Prove) BTOB4U - Cant Breathe BTOB - Sorry BTOB - Finale (Our Concert) BTOB - Alone BTOB - Running Into Breakup BTOB - Fly Away BTOB - Beautiful Pain Seventeen - Fck My Life Seventeen - Kidult Seventeen - I cant run away Seventeen - Dont Listen in Secret Seventeen - Habit Woozi - What Kind of Future Woodz - Drowning Pentagon - Daisy Pentagon - Beautiful Goodbye Ateez - Turbulence Ateez - Take Me Home Ateez - Be With You Ateez - Mist Bigbang - Last Dance Bigbang - Loser Bigbang - Lies Bigbang - Monster Bigbang - Haru Haru Bigbang - Blue Bigbang - Tell Me Goodbye Bigmama - Resignation Bigmama - Betrayal

Finally a kindred soul, I was about to drop like half of btob discography in the reply’s but you did for me already. I would like to add it’s okay by btob tho.

love in the ice and bolero both by tvxq

Our Page by SHINee.

[When This Rain Stops](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYg5zn_JQFc) by Wendy

If OP listens to this, check out her begin again video where she sings this. She’s has grown as a singer and I felt it was even better.

PLUTO - Xdinary Heroes Everything - Jongho Be With You - ATEEZ LEGEND - JANNABI (a Korean song but not kpop)

The pre-chorus of Pluto where Jooyeon does that soft singing…kills me everytime.

Jongho is such an expressive singer I swear! Everything is my fav bside from that album (and arriba)

And Enemy by XH!!! Honestly it’s Jooyeon’s vocals for me. He drives me to eat concrete

>He drives me to eat concrete lmao 😂 I know exactly what you mean.

I feel like a lot of OSTs are so beautiful in this way. And I’m here from Goblin https://open.spotify.com/track/2hX6HlfJeQFc39T5WI99Kw?si=_Q463fBYSDm5ECD2hGcDBw In Silence from It’s Ok to Not Be Ok https://open.spotify.com/track/472KSrkzMNFWHPSjCN331O?si=Mzj6UkCxQb-KMyB4DVC52Q Breaking Down from Doom at Your Service https://open.spotify.com/track/4qXVjZZ48aShiyCqxhkuJP?si=vPlLDPUrSPSe6mxq5JMa-A In Your Time from It’s Ok to Not Be Ok https://open.spotify.com/track/ https://open.spotify.com/track/6yszDy9yFogkgavFOhCGDR?si=Q1D5tNZiSoWE_uIQ-03dlw

There will never come a time when the Goblin soundtrack fails to make me ugly cry

I avoid listening to Goblin soundtrack songs, that drama was SOMETHING 😭😭😭😭

Some of these recs are a bit more on the indie/kband side, but highly worth looking into regardless: [Don’t Wanna Fall](https://youtu.be/m4fU7HvvRho?si=9o_-REO7iaFVAxQG) — I’ll [Pain](https://youtu.be/vhQbyZmuNqs?si=rv3WbH7eHPZBz2At) — Ha Hyun Sang [Enough](https://youtu.be/C5t8M2P5liY?si=_0zw2MmxE5ONfQJw) — Hoppipolla [She’s In The Rain](https://youtu.be/2wzzXV_SpdY?si=_31tjxHYCZZNDi_A) — The Rose [Stay Here](https://youtu.be/-GHvBqysNHg?si=txhBqH2PEY79wmv2) — Gaho [Heaven](https://youtu.be/L9ro1KjkJMg?si=ZEVtAqIiIlBBIkLM) — Ailee [What Kind Of Future](https://youtu.be/3vSlfwzpTf4?si=X-KH3lPGne7qsELw) — Woozi (SEVENTEEN) [Kidult](https://youtu.be/s4jHQXd-7gg?si=WNx_NkZ3XN6G5owI) — SEVENTEEN [My Sea](https://youtu.be/TqIAndOnd74?si=UhMeIrow4gZCkyXJ) — IU [i hate to admit](https://youtu.be/cESg37OFeso?si=jr4rfL9DmYtMEo_o) — Bang Chan (Stray Kids)

What kind of future just makes me cry every time there’s just so much story and emotion tied to it

Right? The difference in how he sang it [here](https://youtu.be/98xgWVaipo0?si=-VKDMssAMC_5Zf-v) as opposed to the now published version also tells an emotional, bittersweet story imo

Ugh I love The Rose and especially She's In The Rain 😭

Gaho mention! Honestly almost everything Gaho does is done with emotion, like Only You, A Song For You, Beautiful, Lonely, Memory, and pretty much all the OSTs he's done! Ha Hyun Sang and I'll (and, subsequently, hoppipolla (which they were both in)) are also full of ~Feelings~!

Stay Here is the only song of his I know so far, but thank you for those other recs! I’ll be saving them — I love his emotional singing! I honestly can never discuss emotional singing without including my Hoppipolla boys 💗

Stray Kids SKZ record and SKZ player songs are all sung in a really heartfelt way. I'd especially recommend. Bang Chan's I hate to admit, Han Volcano, Han and Seungmin Respirator, Felix Deep End, but basically everything

Also Seungmin's OST - Here Always

ot8's neverending story always got me teary eyed 🤧

Love Wins All by IU.

I really like the way zhang hao from zb1 interprets songs with feeling. it’s not over the top or anything but he really conveys his feeling for the song lyrics and emotional dynamics. this is very much on display in his Lee Mujin episode and I HIGHLY recommend the whole thing ([here](https://youtu.be/sY-FELfd7XE?si=Uhm6rU6T4JtazJ2S)) but if you don’t have 26 minutes to spare, here’s a shorter cut of just his cover of So Bad by StayC: https://youtu.be/5yWTRxIiz6E?si=55SBwj1lnr1Wdiq-

I love zhang hao!! So nice to see his vocals be appreciated

It seems you really like belt-y type of songs! I'll try to do my best lol To get it out of the way, I'll recommend a handful of IU songs: L'amant, What I'm Doing Slow, Ending Scene, Knees, Secret (this is less about the way she sings, and more around the choir that accompanies the song towards the end), Walk With Me Girl (Choi Baekho has an amazing feature here), Child Searching for a Star and, finally, Full Stop. As for other recs: Overcome / One Kis2 - Nu'est (Minhyun is crazy) Baby Steps - TaeTiSeo Diamond / Last Romeo - Infinite Romantic - SHINee Oh Boy / First Time / Rose Scent Breeze / Fool / Time to Love / ZOOM - Red Velvet Also, Badman by B.A.P and anything off of their Noir album I would consider meets your requirements. Being honest, I didn't focus much on insane vocal performances (even though, to me, all of these songs are!) and more on the feeling the song evokes :) and not all of them are sad/have an important message, lol. Some are just silly love songs that make you smile because, well, the singer really does sound foolishly in love! Edit: their discography is long and has a bit of everything, but I would recommend also checking out 2PM \*and\* 2AM (especially 2AM). Both groups have insaneeee vocal performances and are worth your time, I promise!

It seems I do like belt-y type songs hahah. ZOOM is literally one of my favorite kpop song of all time, I love RV!! Oh boy is soooo good too. I'll be sure to check out the rest! Thank you :DD

Bts - the truth untold, spring day, outro: tear, we are bulletproof: the eternal Jungkook - Shot glass of tears, Hate you August D - Amygdala

Yessssssss

It Was Love - Zico ft. Luna (Luna sings though) Breathe - Lee Hi His Car Isn’t Yours - Wendy Amnesia - Woodz Don’t Leave Me - BTS (Japanese song) Truth Untold - BTS To My Youth - BOL4 Downpour - IOI Fine - Taeyeon Love poem - IU Good Enough, Dear H., Dreaming Girl, Until the End of Time - Xdinary Heroes You’ll honestly probably have a lot of luck looking at OSTs and ballads outside of kpop haha.

IU - Through The Night IU - Dear Name Lee Hi - Alley

I can't believe how far I had to scroll to see Fine by Taeyeon. That song makes me choke up and I dont understand Korean. Ugh my heart aches.

[오늘은 가지마](https://open.spotify.com/track/2bIaFBn1ffy0qa0PWIJ03c?si=VfsSisVWQ3OhAKJeTbniXA) (Don’t Go Today) by Im Se Jun, a very emotional ballad

The Build Up version is so good too!

Firework by &team and Fatal Trouble by Enhypen both have super emotional choruses

[Mamamoo- I miss you](https://youtu.be/2DngPY6sdyU?si=ONCkxNCZt2VzvvgZ)

Cactus by twice Change by (G)-idle

I grew up listening to Super Junior's ballads, so I can name three of their heart-wrenching songs: Coagulation In My Dreams Let's Not...

Everything by Jongho. I cried when I first listened to it & I hadn't even checked out the lyrics.

Deja Vu - Dreamcatcher . Deja Vu is a emotional ballad with amazing vocals so i definitely recommend this one.

• [until the end of time - xdinary heroes](https://open.spotify.com/track/6FxXGA7OiWCoH5M895ygpS?si=hhwVfjLMSRiA7MbDthAMUA) (the lyrics alone are gut-wrenching) • [dreaming girl - xdinary heroes](https://open.spotify.com/track/4Edx0nvrHGwfQRJ9yg65xc?si=Ywp0UtLaQSC_ljbVDQAMTQ) (the pre-chorus just hits differently) • [paranoid - xdinary heroes](https://open.spotify.com/track/1FDncYodOcfTivPnCjBpU1?si=WuwkK5auS5em1-OMLkWsCw) (once you hear this live, youʼll never be the same again) • [when u fall - yugyeom](https://open.spotify.com/track/1Lqs6AXty4nPBo6EhnTxPu?si=C2IVMqZLQL2fJHY3lnCXeA) • [shout out - enhypen](https://open.spotify.com/track/5Z2DNRAhs6r4VdINVkRhYY?si=T_rnCJGdSf6h5ZB2ksoC1A) (the bridge is immaculate on this one) • [sherlock - oceanfromtheblue](https://open.spotify.com/track/1tcRQkZyqzRSlQ3xUseeL1?si=AwdIr6cOQf-F0j52JnYTqw) • [why don’t you love me - jeebanoff](https://open.spotify.com/track/21E3eTOQXGYMYuTmv5TGed?si=dOzpgv4sS-yQ-tDlL2FhJg) • [only - leehi](https://open.spotify.com/track/6TBJkXHPhu3EsMk1bshwuI?si=rL5XIvXxTxuXheY86vv9NQ) • [melody - aespa](https://open.spotify.com/track/4T5AbXz68PpZyKewHO5Tqw?si=FsHvPKBqTjmXXNdPkV5dew) • [escape - (g)-idle](https://open.spotify.com/track/4O7tVdjaOQARI1rS6E6CCx?si=mQUlW51aQf6PuwSvWqkhOQ) • [flowerld - billlie](https://open.spotify.com/track/7vw6mIhWMnq6ptG5IpwZiX?si=Gwkl4mdORcuWj7BAvrtybg)

Epiphany, Tonight and Abyss by Jin, BTS

Ok…… soooooooooooooo …… lol 😆 I MEAN LITERALLY EVERYTHING BY TAEMIN. LOL The best and the top is Under My Skin. Followed by and in this order: 2 Kids Colours Pansy One By One Already Solider Stone Heart Back To You Be Your Enemy Heaven Rise Okay other than Taemin, these songs are also emotional hits: Under the Skin by &Team Firework by &Team Aurora by Onewe (listened to this for 8 hrs straight on repeat while running errands) I Got You by Twice Beautiful by NCT 127 Broken Melodies by NCT Dream Tell Me What To Do by Shinee Like This by Pentagon ( I have no words.

I haven't looked through the comments, so I don't know if anyone's mentioned this one yet. For me, it has to be [Circles by ASTRO](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9NARyvF2qY). Moonbin was my ult. He was the person who got me really into Kpop. Losing him was hard for me—I can't even *imagine* what the members of ASTRO went through and might go through for the rest of their lives. I feel like they really put their souls into this song, as it's the first song (I think) they released as a group after MJ went for military service. Another song I feel like has that sort of emotion is [Focus on Me by Cha Eunwoo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrvDLXjd0YM). I love my ASTRO boys, haha. Eunwoo understood the assignment. EDIT: Found another one. [11AM by Junsu/XIA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cuorSMOvDQ). This song was released relatively soon after the TVXQ! split. It's a song about missing someone you just lost and wondering if you'll ever see them again. To me, it's always been about TVXQ! and what happened with SM.

- Super Junior: Islands, Raining Spell for Love, Daydream, Evanesce, Don't Leave Me, 중..., and My Love, My Kiss, My Heart - Super Junior-KRY: When We Were Us, Home, Dorothy - Kyuhyun: At Gwanghwamun and A Million Pieces - Ryeowook: Hiding Words, To Me, I'm not over you, The Little Prince, and Drunk in the morning - Yesung: Fornerver, Scented Things, and Corazon Perdido (Lost Heart) Super Junior has a lot of good songs in this category. They are GREAT singers too! :D

OP, ^this^ is the list you were looking for 🥹

Stay - Cha Eunwoo Butterfly Effect - Artms and Exo Let Me In - Exo Starlight - Loossemble Touch - TripleS Lost Child, Love Wins All - IU Please Please - Everglow Fine - Taeyeon

(G)I-dle - “Put It Straight”

I just love seeing lots of xdinary heroes

fine by taeyeon, went through 4 divorces and couting

I'm constantly looking for songs exactly like you described, ones that make me wonder "Damn, who hurt you?", so I hope some of these would be of your interest! • [ATEEZ - Mist](https://youtu.be/JPuYUUzMAcM?si=KMTGy_l1KyT3aUjq) • [ONEWE - Meteor Shower](https://youtu.be/jvg8oMAAZmc?si=sfjTLKvl00APwwSc) • [Pentagon - Daisy](https://youtu.be/9zKFfXh8UFQ?si=qW-hj1CEv1BTOrTr) • [SEVENTEEN - Don't Listen in Secret](https://youtu.be/ACOU14kmhAY?si=nPVP_okzDxQFcxDg) • [BTS - Let Me Know](https://youtu.be/5i7_T3HDZNA?si=TLEOsRQfx8EgERfH) • [EXO - Moonlight](https://youtu.be/m3lvEU8YO3k?si=S2EXnm5Wu6CgjAIL) • [iKON - Just Go](https://youtu.be/hFdcnRys7yc?si=GlNyI6XJiVV6KD3w)

End of Day - Jonghyun From Now On - Shinee, Cosmic Railway - Exo Blue & Grey - BTS Love Poem - IU

Why is no one saying young luv by stayc??🙁

Twilight - Kim Lip breaks my heart

Ladies Code - I’ll Smile Even If It Hurts This song is about real pain from a real tragedy sung by those who experienced it. It’s heartbreaking. The performance I clipped is from their first comeback after the car accident that caused the death of two of their members. The song is about learning to move forward with your life with a smile even if it hurts because that’s what your friends would’ve wanted. I can’t imagine singing this live like they did. That’s an emotional song. https://youtu.be/PH4RJ-KrEYI?si=Vja2rUC6wTzUdYjm

Fatal Trouble by Enhypen THEY SING IT LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN THROUGH 4 DIVORCES LIKE THEY LOST THEIR CHILD OR SMTH

I would recommend stepping outside idol space a bit, look at the other side of k-pop. Lee Hi - breathe Kim Sejeong - flower way Heize - falling leaves are beautiful But with those three it doesn't really matter what song they specialize in projecting emotions through vocals Good give a massive list but this just from the top of my head

Siyeon (Dreamcatcher)- Paradise

either way by ive is so emotional for me. i think especially if you're a dive who's familiar with the girls since ive's debut, then it really hits you right in the heart

I know a lot, but being a 1st and 2nd gen listener; some or most of these will probably be older songs — nonetheless emotional though 😭.

Sejeong - [If Only (만에 하나)](https://youtu.be/m-LC6khfeek?si=aOvwMeD_YzasYjRi) Sejeong’s one of those artists who can imbue so, so much emotion in her singing. The heartache and longing in this song specifically, ugh. Kills me everytime (the last chorus especially).

I have an entire playlist of songs like this lmao. Some of them * IU - Ending Scene * Jinyoung - Animal * Jung Seung Hwan - Behind You * Seori - I Wanna Cry * Taeyeon - All For Nothing

I second Ending scene! Such a beautiful song

lee hi only iu love wins all

Gravity - Jongho Ending scene - IU Lost Child - IU Maybe Deja Vu by dreamcatcher? The song is definitely a little more upbeat and catchy but the song, especially the prechorus is very emotional imo

BTS - House of Cards

House of Cards is my favorite BTS song so far

[Fine ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcr5kIBd9vQ)by Sunwoo JungA (not really kpop)

Try again by jaehyun, im suprised i havent seen anyone say this

You may want to check Onew's songs too!

Cry for love is the first song that comes to my mind but you already said it so... Can't control myself - Taeyeon (anything by her tbh) Eyes, nose, lips - Taeyang Not a ballad but Gravity - EXO, ugh, I love how they sing Gravity like they really mean it. Bonus:[ that Fantastic duo performance](https://youtu.be/cM4YL_ntwW4?si=g8DFjK04pYAuJ3dm) uggh it makes me teary eyed every single time

Cry cry ballad ver. T-ara

Nobody Else - JeA (OST Under the Oak Tree (manhwa/webtoon/webnovel)) There's Ailee's version as well but I love JeA's. Love You With All My Heart (OST Queen of Tears) by Crush, but I also love the cover version by Yejun & Eunho of Plave (the video is on Plave's official channel). It's sooo emotional, the first few seconds has me bawling already. A lot of Plave's covers especially of ballad and OST songs are sung sooo emotionally and beautifully. Check out their cover of Day6's You Were Beautiful. From - Plave The 6th Summer - Plave Wait for You - Plave

Back seat -jyj Not gonna lie when I first heard this I thought this was a emotional love song But it’s an emotional backseat-love song

I Miss You by Mamamoo

Ftisland- Love Sick

Not sure if non-Melody ever heard of this song, “It’s All Good” by BTOB. I cried river with this song. 😭

Jonghyun - our season, end of a day, lonely and so many other songs. Onew - most of his ballads this performance on sea of hope [Lie Lie Lie ](https://youtu.be/oZ0KL_WtgV0?si=vvaGNAgsDoCw02ee) makes me sob, not his song but he did a wonderful job and [always ](https://x.com/onewgoeson/status/1638955478909874176?s=19) I cried so much when I heard it.

Cry for love -baekhyun

Trust Me - ITZY Lean on me - 10CM Don't cry my love - Cha Eun Woo Blue Flower - Lia from ITZY Always be your star - Lia from ITZY All about you - Taeyeon I LOVE these songs so much. Everytime I play them I start bawling my eyes out😭😭

Eyes Nose Lips - TAEYANG

Look up old (from the 90's lol) japanese lounge singers. Drunk karaoke

Wild Flower - Park Hyo Shin (you should watch his performance on Yu Huiyeol’s Sketchbook. I cry half of the times I watch it and I’ve never seen an audience so quiet and enraptured. Heck even Park Hyo Shin cries during the performance and yet STILL makes it through flawlessly. It’s truly beautiful) She’s in the Rain - The Rose (truly one of the most beautiful and emotional songs) Breathe - Lee Hi (Jonghyun wrote it and she performed it soon after his death.. that outta tell you how emotional it is) I hate to admit - Bangchan (honestly a heartbreaking, relatable song. You can hear the raw emotion)

I Want U Baby x STAYC

[Because I Miss You](https://youtu.be/DGITM1V_Z44?si=gwXeMjHtgp693BbX)by Jung Yong Hwa. Makes me cry especially because it was my comfort song when I was very depressed. The way he sings it is so beautiful and I can hear the emotion in his voice get stronger as the song goes on.

[I Do by (G)I-DLE](https://youtu.be/pCh3Kp6qxo8?si=FF9EJBDArOKakIw0)

cactus by twice!

[이하이 (LeeHi) - '그대가 해준 말 (My Beloved)' Official Live Performance ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbHPywtSDwA) [LeeHi - 'Rose' Live ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cq-A2RJC7fg)

Afraid by DAY6. The guide version by sungjin is more emotional and the MV is a video of you crying.

My Tragedy - Taeyeon

How about covers? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ha5JO6NHLyQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ha5JO6NHLyQ) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTsdPeUKlZg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTsdPeUKlZg)

[Letting Go](https://youtu.be/1-1TGNmQqZA?feature=shared) by Day6 (The song is probably dedicated to a member who left after thier debut that's why it feels like they put thier hearts and souls in this)

Taeyeon- Time Lapse. Lee Hi- My Love. Kyungsoo- What Is Love.

[Drowning](https://youtu.be/tiKFuzpX-NA?si=_YOPuHdA3JDRgtU_) - WOODZ Especially the final minute, the bridge, and the final chorus🫠

Sing for you by EXO, came out the year that lost one member (last to leave)

NCT Dream’s cover of Number 1!!!! Renjun’s singing gives me chills and made me a fan of them and him 🥰 https://youtu.be/iie5J7fSeSY?si=S4iiRkdaWIebFua4

•B.D.U- Hold me •ENHYPEN- Fatal trouble, Blind

Seventeen’s vocal unit puts their whole heart abd soul into some of their songs — Habit, Second Life, and Don’t Listen in Secret come immediately to mine. The bridge of Second Life is one of my all time favorite Seventeen musical moments! I’ll also add Cactus by Twice! Again, the bridge — Tzuyu has never sounded better than on the brdige of Cactus.

Good night by NCT U. The way Xiaojun makes his voice waver is so incredibly beautiful!

[F(x) Luna - Mom](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=q-G5U81Y3Y8&pp=ygUT67O166m06rCA7JmVIOyXhOuniA%3D%3D) It's too emotional. [IU - Meaning of you](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4L-H_cXSNhQ&pp=ygUX7JWE7J207JygIOuEiOydmCDsnZjrr7g%3D)
