With Christmas just around the corner, the K-pop scene is exploding with wintry carols. So who's closing out the year with the songs everyone will be streaming?
First up, girl group fromis_9 made a comeback on the 2nd with the remake digital single 'White Longing'.
Originally released by actor-singer Kim Min-jong in 2001, the remake quickly gained word-of-mouth buzz among listeners. It entered Melon's Top 100 at No. 67 on release day and kept climbing to No. 24, proving its strong momentum.
Reinterpreted in fromis_9's own style, the track layers sleek, modern arrangement over the cozy melody of the original, winning over everyone from middle-aged listeners to K-pop fandoms.
GOT7 member and actor Jinyoung dropped his digital single 'Christmas Fever' on the 10th.
The title track 'Christmas Fever' captures the heart-fluttering thrill of a snowy winter and the holiday season with a lovely melody and lyrics. Like a cough that bursts out unexpectedly, the carol bottles up irresistible excitement — with Jinyoung personally participating in the lyric-writing to elevate the song's quality. Warm and delicate in emotion, this new release is set to deliver gentle thrills and healing to year-end listeners.
Band DAY6 will release their Christmas special single 'Lovin' the Christmas' on the 15th.
Celebrating their 10th debut anniversary this year, DAY6 have been active with new music, concerts, and more — and this season track is a meaningful way to wrap 2025. Notably, it's their first-ever official season song since debut, raising fans' expectations.
DAY6's 'Lovin' the Christmas' will be available on major music platforms at 6 p.m. on the 15th.
