20 Best K-Pop Songs of 2012: BIGBANG, PSY, 2NE1 & More

These 20 K-Pop songs represent a fantastic array of veteran artists, popular idols, ballad crooners and talented rookies.

4. “I Love You” – 2NE1 

21

The ladies’ discography features a slew of self-empowerment anthems, but 2NE1 delved into a completely new topic for their 2012 single; love. Each member sounds completely in her element in the atypically structured half-melancholy, half-euphoric track where the biggest moment doesn’t come until the very last section.

Check out the other songs that made it to the top 20 below!

  1. “The Chaser” – INFINITE
  2. “Alone” – SISTAR
  3. “Memory Of The Wind” – Naul
  4. “I Love You” – 2NE1
  5. “Bad Boy” – BIGBANG – The boy band phenom had an extraordinary year with a slew of hits, including club-banger “Fantastic Baby,” melancholic jam “Blue,” and angst-ridden “Monster.” But the hip-hop/R&B inflected mid-tempo “Bad Boy” outshined them all. The boys take turns showcasing their individual voices, as they emotionally croon, rap and sing about being a “bad” boyfriend over producer Choice 37′s head-bopping beat.
  6. “Flashback” – After School
  7. “Only One” – BoA
  8. “Gangnam Style” PSY – The inescapable track that brought K-pop to the masses (to the tune of over 1 billion YouTube views!), “Gangnam Style” stands out not only for its slick, electronic production but also for its deeper critique on high-class society. Next time you’re doing the horse dance take a closer look at the lyrics.
  9. “Cherry Blossom Ending” – Busker Busker
  10. “Beautiful Night” – Beast
  11. “Every Night” – EXID
  12. “I Wish” – F.T. Island
  13. “Good Morning” Verbal Jint feat. Kwon Jung Yeol
  14. “Same Love, Same Farewell” – Urban Zakapa
  15. “Painkiller” – SPICA
  16. “Without You” – Dynamic Duo
  17. “One Of A Kind” – G-Dragon With a knocking hip-hop beat that any of today’s biggest rappers would kill for, the BIGBANG leader showed off his impressive knack for flow and lyrics with his EP’s opening track. The track put his talent at the forefront in comparison to silliness seen in single “Crayon.”
  18. “Touch” – miss A
  19. “Love Dance” – The Koxx
  20. “Catch Me” – TVXQ
