Young Posse - Lose Your Shxt
Genuinely, I see them as the spiritual successors to Orange Caramel in the weird MV sense.
I totally see what you mean! I’m going to have to delve deeper into their music! Thanks so much!
If you're interested, they have versions of some of the MV's with no CGI: https://youtu.be/hY8_CSGb5Ck?si=zd4E8VvBRYfior_l
And also the director of some of the MV's has behind the scenes videos where he shows how me made them: https://youtu.be/U9a4Tk0RDwo?si=JXvjIbZYwPRQAOsF
(I will add that their only non-silly MV is called Cold, and it is one of the darkest and most disturbing kpop videos I've ever seen)
Thanks for sharing! That’s so sweet! I’m going to binge all of this later! I especially enjoy watching behind the scene studs so I’m excited to see those!
A lot of my favorites have already been mentioned. AZE GAG by Mamamoo is another good one, and “Warm Hole” by Brown Eyed Girls.
Both of these are great! Thanks so much!
This is an amazing list! Thank you so much! Also I did not remember the bo peep bo peep mv being that mature.
Unique kpop song/MV for sure:
Max Changmin - Maniac
How have I never seen this? I love it! Thanks so much!
These are all amazing. Thank you so much! I also realized I now have to go look through solo artists too!
You might want to check out some Hitchhiker.
I feel complete now. Those are all amazing and wonderful. I don’t know how I’ve never heard them. Thank you for opening my eyes.

Quizás de BIGBANG: bae bae, monster, Lollipop 2, Bang Bang Bang De G-DRAGON: Michi go, crayon, coup d'etat De G-DRAGON&TOP: Don't go Home, zutter De todo: doom dada
Thank you so much! I can’t believe I didn’t think of big bang. No list of strange and unique kpop songs would be complete without them!
Nemonemo by Yena
Omg! I was trying to remember her name! I only vaguely remembered the song and couldn’t find it by searching! You saved me! Thanks so much!!!
Lim Kim's Awoo comes immediately to mind.
Added! I love her voice! Thank you so much!

2PM members experiment with genres and vocal techniques sometimes, that vary from current trends in kpop. Here are a few of their unique songs. Keep in mind that 2PM specializes in mature concepts, so you might be seeing/hearing some things. lmao.
Jun. K: Young Forever (tropical/reggaeton/R&B?), Command C+Me (industry diss track, fierce tones, rap/ operatic/ funk, dissing trends and unoriginality in kpop industry, inspired by Eminem and Bohemian Rhapsody), All On You ft. Youha (afrobeat/R&B/soul)
Wooyoung: Hey Whoa (retro 80s/90s pop/funk), Don't Act (tropical house?, this one is hard to place), She Is (R&B/funk)
Junho: Torso (jazz/R&B, interesting vocal scales); Frozen Heart (rock/alt; this perf was good considering he had immense foot pain that required him to walk in with crutches)
Chansung: Perfume (classical/orchestral pop with contemporary dance perf)
discoPM sounds: go to this fan-compiled list, scroll down to the "disco/jazzy/retro" section.
This in an amazing compilation! Thank you so much!! I’ve never delved too much into 2PM’s solo stuff and I’m regretting that now. I’m definitely going to try to listen to more!
If you're not familiar with 2PM- you might have seen Lee Junho already. He emceed with Wonyoung for AAA 2025.
You're welcome! 😘 Check out 2PM using guide 1 (2023- member focused), guide 2 (2021- group focused), and this music/content summary. Also, all 6 of them are actors in films/ drama/ Broadway stages, with 3 currently active, plus multiple other careers. So there's a lot of material to cover.
Great place to start, compiled by multiple fans. Warning if you're not used to it- 2PM members specialize in mature themes and were the originators of the "beast idol"/ "sexy gentleman idol" concept. You might be seeing/hearing some things. lmao.
b1a4 - what's happening , solo day, maybe like a movie and rewind
Omg yes! B1A4 is perfect for this! Thanks so much!
Yall gotta peep Stress by Big Byung 😎
Omg!!! Big byung! I haven’t heard that name in ages. Thank you for reuniting me with this wonderful song
I am a simple gal doing my do diligence as a 3rd gen Stan 🤗🫡 so happy you know them!! 🤣🥰
I was a huuuuuge vixx stan back in the day so I remember watching the show that made the group too. I should stop talking before I reveal my age even more. lol
Girl dont even worry I am right there with you 🥰🤣
Ladies Code - Pretty Pretty and Kiss Kiss
Omg ladies code! It’s been years since I last heard their name! Thank you so much!
Chococo - gugudan
Amazing! Thank you so much!
No problem
made me remember Emergency of Day6
I love this more than I should. Haha. Thank you so much!
Red light - f(x)
Yes! How did I not add any f(x)?! I love so many of their songs. Thanks so much!
BTS - Idol MV is pretty trippy.
SHINee's Married to the music MV is weird (decapitations and more).
NCT U's Baggy jeans. Both MV and song are a bit odd. Baggy!
NCT 127's Sticker. A classic.
Close Your Eyes - Snowy summer. Christmas themed (released in july) and starts with one member accidentally killing all the others.
N.O.M - Mega punch is fun and gay.
These are all perfect examples! Also I can’t believe sticker hadn’t been mentioned yet! Thanks so much! They’ve all been added now!
fire-bts
helium-enhypen (alt-rockish vibe)
queencard-G-idle
Thank you so much!!
Of course. Also, if you are looking for more, you should consider gnarly(global)-katseye, side effects-straykids, wonderland-ATEEZ :)
I will take any excuse to add ATEEZ and Stray Kids to a playlist! lol Thanks so much for mentioning them! Also I think gnarly deserves a spot of appreciation on the playlist even if it isn’t kpop
