What is the best song to show to your non kpop friend? And not scare them.

[iKnife BurnCat]

There are some videos on YT introducing kpop but they're all too cringy, like too much is happening at once and I know my non-kpop friend's heart couldn't handle it.

exo's kokobop, seventeen's do'nt wanna cry and nct's songs (boss, the 7th sense, regular)

edit: and like n3bula said bp are a safe bet too, one of my close friends who muted my RTs on twt because "too much kpop" jams to kill this love

A lot of people from my HS who hated kpop love listening to Blackpink now. So they're probably your safest bet?
Their music sounds very western anyway like most YG groups.

the only kpop song my best friend likes is rainbow - gossip girl but shesprobably just special... 

maybe stray kids miroh

link them i got a boy

[harumaki]

Red Velvet's Bad Boy, Psycho, Automatic, OOTN. Any of their 'velvet' side songs are good to not scare them lol

I introduce Chungha's Gotta go to my non-kpop friends and they always end up listening to it on repeat

If you want to go with a basic, safe, popular choice: BTS, Blackpink or EXO is the way to go

I see times have really changed lol

Pre-2017, any time this type of question was asked,the popular answer use to be anything Big Bang. Followed by 2ne1 and specifically BTS 'Fire' or 'Dope". Because they were Western friendly.

Nowadays, there are so many groups that experiment with Western sounds and concepts.

Also with BTS being so popular and Kpop spreading so much, I think people are a lot more open. I say anything popular during the year is worth showing e.g. Fancy, Feel Special, Gotta go, Boy with luv, Hip, etc...

Hmm. I played BigBang for one of my friends after we did photography at a wedding and he was extremely hyped listening to them.

LMAOOOO facts that album>>>> 

 

[classiq]

Heavy English word tracks are a good introduction. 

Jay Park songs are a good suggestion

[_Lucy_]

Yeah I think blackpink is the best choice for that 

[Glissando]

I can get most of my friends to listen to BTS just because they recognize the name, in which case Boy With Luv is pretty representative of Kpop while still being Western friendly with the Halsey feature. I've also had a lot of success with SHINee's tracks like Married to the Music and Replay, but Red Velvet's velvet stuff would fit that sound too if you want to show them a girl group

The one song all of my non-kpop friends like is SNSD - Tell Me Your Wish lmao. Still playing that in 2020!
