Is it just me or is 2016 going even faster than 2015? I literally feel like New Years Eve was like last week… Anyways, A LOT of great kpop songs has been release since the beginning of the year. So let’s count down the top 10 best kpop songs of the first quarter of 2016!
- Koh Nayoung || Whom?
You probably haven’t heard of this song as Koh Nayoung is a very unknown singer. But I absolutely LOVE the song Whom! It has a old style Avril Lavigne vibe to it which I am weak for. I think this song deserved more love than it got and I suggest everyone should check it out
Artist: Koh Nayoung
Album: N/A
Release Date: 01.02.2016
Agency: N/A
- WINNER || Sentimental
Sentimental was the first WINNER song I ever heard and I absolutely love it. The songs fits in with the YG vibe perfectly, but is still very original. The music video is original as well with the ceiling view camera work and the quirky dancing.
Artist: WINNER
Bias: Taehyun
Album: EXIT: E
Release Date: 31.01.2016
Agency: YG Entertainment
- GOT7 || See The Light
I (as a IGOT7) am not going to lie. The Flight Log Departure isn’t the best album GOT7 ever made. But it still has some gems on it. See The Light being my favorite. The song (written by Mark) is just amazing. It has a relaxing vibe and inspiring lyrics.

- Taemin || Mystery Lover
Every song on the Press It album is gold, but Mystery Lover is one of my favorites. It’s a very original and refreshing song. And just like the title, the song has a mysterious feeling to it which makes it very interesting to listen to.
Artist: Taemin (SHINee)

- DAY6 || Blood
Blood is a fun and upbeat by my favorite rookie boy band: DAY6. The song puts a smile on my face with it’s strong retro vibe. It’s just a lot of fun to listen to!

Album: Daydream

- Wendy ft. Eric Nam || Spring Love
I will always have a weak spot for songs with a acoustic guitar as I play it myself. So that element certainly helps me love this song. But even if that wasn’t the case, it would still be this high on the list. Spring Love is an adorable song which is perfect for the spring time AND it has two my favorite artists working together. This song is basically a triple win!
Artist: Wendy (Red Velvet) & Eric Nam
Bias: Both!
