No matter which season may be your favorite, there is no doubt that one of the most awaited seasons is summer. With the heat waves and the rising temperature, the longest days of the year are meant to be spent in refreshing ways. Among students, this usually marks the end of their academic year, while several people in the workforce use this as a time to finally spend their paid vacations. Some spend their time in the comfort of their airconditioned rooms, some party with ice-cold drinks, and some spend their summer as their vacation- going out on beaches or pools. Whichever way it may be, it is genuinely nice to find ways to enjoy the hot summer.
Of course, as music provides comfort in one way or the other, songs can really set the tone depending on one's emotions or even set the mood depending on the season. With the diverse types and genres among K-Pop songs, there are songs that are indeed meant to listen to during the summer!

Here's the first part of your summer K-Pop playlist to listen to in this hot weather! Feel free to drop your favorite K-Pop summer songs and other songs you believe would fit into the bill!
The list started out strong but I think they lost the plot after the first 10 lol.
"Feel My Rhythm" doesn't have the same summer vibe as songs like ATEEZ's "Wave". And why the heck are "aenergy" by aespa, "Bboom Bboom" by Momoland, and "Dessert" by Hyo on this list? Summer vibes where??
There is a difference between "feel good"/"I just wanna get up and dance" and "summer-y good times". A lot of time, it's the instrumentation that gives off the cool, relaxing vibe of summer. I would use the example of "Let's!" by the kpop group Hoppipolla. That is the perfect summer song. Just listen to that instrumental! 😍 NCT Dream's "We Young" also has a great summer vibe instrumental and should be on this list.
Some songs are summery because they invoke a summer dance party theme, kinda like Miley Cyrus' "Party in the U.S.A." The song "We Do" by SuperM is a good example of a kpop song that is great for the "it's summer, so we do what we want" vibe!
This is a questionable list lol. Some songs work well, and others don't. But hey, it's based on one person's bias, so to each their own, but shouldn't we have the same definition of what a "summer vibe" kpop song is?
