When Kpop Doesn't Let Us Give Up
Life is hard, sometimes its actually really hard and you can't rely just on your inner strength to pull through.
Some people play sports, rely on family, or find help through art. We're lucky enough to have a supportive community and art form (yes, it is art!) in Kpop that is ready to pull us through the darkest patches. Looking at how goofy some of these idols are and how much fun we have making fun of them, you wouldn't take Kpop as a fandom seriously, but Kpop can change lives especially when people need to find a little hope in the world.
Here are my favorite songs that give me hope and I wanted to share them here to remind everyone that we have each other, this music, and this community to get us through anything! Park Jung Min - Not Alone I can believe I’m not alone
Not alone now, not sad anymore
and I can feel it I’m not alone
Definitely not alone, never be exhausted again (slide right for full english lyrics) Youngguk & Zelo - Never Give Up Never give up
Cheer up, toward your dreams, never give up
Get up, get up, you can do it
Wake up, wake up
Don’t worry, everything will be fine, never give up
Because it’s you, it’s you, believe in yourself
Never give up Ailee - I Will Show You I will show you a completed changed me
I will show you a way prettier me
I don’t wanna cry like a fool over love, over you who left
NU'EST - Face This is a story about a dwarf and giant
But it`s gonna end just like David and Goliath
Keep up with my pace, if you can VIXX - Love Equation Don’t shed those typical tears anymore
The end doesn’t always have to be sad
My emotions are different from others
Look at me, standing before this goodbye
BTS - We Are Bulletproof Everywhere I go, everything I doI will show you, as much as I sharpened my sword
To all the people who looked down on me
Throw a stone at me if you’ve done as much as I did Tablo - Thank You For Breathing Because even after losing 99, I still find little things impressive
I’m smiling
To me, the words, “I wannna die”?
No, let it be
The things that makes me breathe is the calm rain
The sweet time wasting with friends
Red flowers, blue flowers, the cloud flowers in early mornings
Plenty of laughter flowers in the garden called, love
The wind of Jejudo, the night lights in Seoul
Epic High’s music that I hear in the streets while walking UKISS - Someday You get some right, you get some wrong
Although tiring there will be days to smile
When you fall down, when you get up
Although tiring, there will be days to smile, eventually a day to smile will come 4 Minute - Volume Up Take it all away and pump up the volume (up up)
Don’t wanna hear it – pump up the volume (up up)
I will change more as time goes by and get stronger eh eh eh oh more BAP - Unbreakable Though you fall down hundreds of times,
keep getting up,
we’ll never break down Leave your most hopeful songs in the comments too!
