When Music Meets Emotion: Live performances in K-pop that are Filled With Raw Emotions

Have you ever been so captivated by a live performance that you could feel the emotions pouring through the screen and into your heart? That's the hallmark of a truly enthralling performance, where the artists skillfully convey their emotions with raw intensity.


In the world of K-Pop, there are countless performances that fit this description. Here, we've compiled a list of the most emotionally charged and evocative live performances in the genre. Get ready to be swept away by the power of music and raw emotion!

Produce X 101 - To My Youth

This song by BOL4 is originally very emotional as it is for talking about the hardship of navigating through our youth, but these Produce X 101 trainees made it 101 times more expressive, as they think about their hardship as trainees while performing. You can also see Kim Wooseok slightly tearing up in the end. 


Kingdom - Love Poem

When you combine three of the best vocalists from BTOB, Stray Kids, and ATEEZ together on a stage, doing a song by IU, you will not only get a beautiful harmonious melody of vocals but also a very emotional performance. 

Lee Hi - Breathe

Warning, this performance will have you bawling your eyes out. Jonghyun wrote this comforting song and gave it to Lee Hi, a friend whose voice he thinks perfectly suits the song. She was very strong to sing the song in tribute to him after his passing. 

BTOB Eunkwang with his mother - With Love

When two great vocalists, who happen to be mother and son, perform together, you get beautiful magic. Not only that, but you can just feel the Love, admiration, respect, and pride they have for each other. 

TAEYEON - Fine

Every performance by our queen Taengoo is emotionally charged, so it was hard to pick one. But this one is just wonderful, and it will take your breath away. Everyone who has had the chance to witness her performing life truly has won in life. 

NCT 127 - Back 2 U (AM 01:27)

You probably would not have expected a full idol group to make the list, but something about this performance is just outstanding. Especially, Doyoung at 2:46, where you can see him giving his entire heart and soul into performing this song. Absolutely beautiful. 

Girls' Generation - Into The New World Ballad Version

If you are in for a cry-fest, then skip to 4:12, where they were literally crying. They were not only belting those high notes but also all of their emotions, and years later, you can still feel their raw emotions in this performance. 

DAY6 - I Need Somebody

This band is known for their outstanding vocals and is always wearing their hearts on their sleeves when performing, making every stage they do filled with 100% emotions that you can just feel them exuding. 

EXO-CBX - Paper Cuts

This trio was just a power unit of vocalists, and this performance, in particular, will make even non-EXO-Ls sob. Both the lyrics and their beautiful vocals will tug at your heartstrings.
