The magazine TIME chose their top 10 K-pop songs and albums of the year.

They explained, "The K-pop songs and albums that defined the year transported us to places we miss most—from the theater to the jazz bar to the island vacation that lives only in our memories or imaginations. Some prompted nostalgia for things we once took for granted, while others inspired hope for their return. Through these releases, many of our favorite artists experimented with their sounds, all while building 

deeper connections with an audience they could only interact with from a distance."
