f(x) - “Hot Summer”
ARIN (OH MY GIRL): I used to listen to this song a lot when I was in school and it always put me in a good mood—especially in middle school and around summer time. So I’ll recommend it here!
Pink Sweat$ - “At My Worst”
LEE NA GYUNG (fromis_9): This is a great song for a chill drive. It makes you feel like you’re on a vacation. I listen to it a lot during the summer.
DEUX - “In Summer”
SEO HO (ONEUS): When I listen to this song, it brings back memories of falling asleep in light clothes with the fan on in summer. I find the ocean sounds in the song helps me feel a bit cooler when the heat’s got me beat! I’m recommending “In Summer” for the nostalgia and for cooling down!
NIve, Sam Kim - “Like a Fool”
KEON HEE (ONEUS): Nothing beats the night breeze and the sweet scent of summer after a hard day’s work. Listen to this song and transform your summer nights into a scene from a movie.
Wallows - “Calling After Me”
Yoon Jae Hyuk (TREASURE): I feel like this song’s a mix of the relaxed and upbeat, and full of little touches. Make a hot summer feel cool and refreshing!
Silica Gel - “Tik Tak Tok” (feat. So!YoON!)
THEO (P1Harmony): I feel like rock music’s perfect for summer! I love how this song’s got a unique sound all its own and the vocals are just right for it. And how the guitar riff at the end feels like it just blows all the heat away! And now that it’s starting to get hot out, I wanted to choose a song for you all that would cool you down inside and out. Listen to this song and have a nice, cool summer! 👍🏻
P1Harmony - “Late Night Calls”
INTAK (P1Harmony): Here’s just the right song to enjoy that cool night air on a hot summer night! The dreamy, sentimental vibe will ease your heat-weary soul. It’s a fast song with a great melody, so I recommend it for when you want to feel the cool night air! Enjoy its therapeutic powers after a long day as you drift off to sleep! 💤💭🛌😴
Conan Gray - “Lonely Dancers”
TAESAN (BOYNEXTDOOR): I’m recommending this song because the instruments sound so cool and chill! Plus I find Conan Gray’s voice is perfect for the summertime.
SHINee - “View”
FUMA (&TEAM): “View” by SHINee pops into my head every summer. The exhilarating yet also chill feel of its deep house melody really brings out what makes summer so refined, in my opinion. The way the chorus keeps going, “Such a beautiful-ful-ful-ful view,” gets stuck in your head after just one listen, too. It should help air out that summer heat and make you feel more at ease.
Jonas Brothers - “Cool”
JO (&TEAM): I like how the calmness of this song makes you feel like it’s cooling you down as you listen to it, so I listen to it a lot in the summer!
TWICE - “CHEER UP”
WONHEE (ILLIT): This song’s got that cool, vibrant, effervescent vibe of summer that you can only feel around this time of the year. It’ll make you feel energetic and keep you from feeling tired on even the hottest of days!
