We have now entered the Year of the Black Rabbit, also known as Gyemyo Year in Korea. To wish our readers a happy and prosperous year, we asked for song recommendations from various Weverse artists born in the Year of the Rabbit: DINO (SEVENTEEN), Arin (OH MY GIRL), Moon Sua (Billlie), GYEHYEON (VERIVERY), SuBin (VICTON), JooChan (Golden Child), MINJI (SECRET NUMBER), U (ONF), SOODAM (SECRET NUMBER) and Kim DongHyun (Golden Child). 

“Older” feat. Sierra Deaton (5 Seconds of Summer)

DINO (SEVENTEEN): I heard this song for the first time recently and it was so good that I kept listening to it over and over for a while. I highly recommend this song, especially on cold days like we’re having lately. It should help you feel warmer.

“Hakuna Matata” (Piggy Dolls)

Arin (OH MY GIRL): I used to listen to this song a lot in school when I felt sad or worn down. I heard it randomly at home on a music show when I was little and I’ll never forget the good vibes I picked up from it the first time I heard it. This song makes the happy and fun memories of my childhood come back in waves of nostalgia, so I still listen to it sometimes when I think of those times! And I want to share those good vibes with MIRACLE. I hope they’ll listen to it whenever they need a pick-me-up or when they feel worn down. (laughs)

“Just do it” (BSS [SEVENTEEN])

Moon Sua (Billlie): This is basically my favorite song ever. I can feel myself become incredibly brave when I listen to it. Give this song a listen, do whatever you want, don’t question it, and be happy!!!

“Slow Running” (Miso)

SuBin (VICTON): Personally, the melody, music, lyrics and music video for this song help me pinpoint different thoughts and feelings I’ve felt throughout my life but couldn’t properly define. I’m really impressed by IBAN’s solo dance and mise en scène in the music video!

“LETTER” (YUDABINBAND)

JooChan (Golden Child): I love the lyrics, “Let me have a bright day.” The live instruments and vocals work in perfect harmony and the guitar solo and the humming at the end are amazing. I chose this song because I hope it gives you the chance to have bright days in 2023.

“Laughter” (Official HIGE DANdism)

MINJI (SECRET NUMBER): I really resonated with some of the lines in this song, like, “Look for a twinkling drop of lights in the turbulence,” and, “Stronger than the rumbling of the sea, faster than lightning.” Most importantly, it really comforted me when I heard it. I hope everyone who listens to it will find comfort the way I did and that it gives you the strength to pursue even greater goals!

“Popping” (ONF)

U (ONF): Personally, I love this song, because it’s about ONF and FUSE being able to see each other again in summer! It’s got even more meaning behind it, too, because it’s the last song during our concerts. It’s a fun summer song, but I think the melancholy feeling means it’s a really good listen on snowy winter days, too. Some fans said they feel sad when they hear it, but I hope it gets you excited thinking about later this year when we’ll see FUSE again!

“Same Same” feat. Sam Kim (JUKJAE)

SOODAM (SECRET NUMBER): This is the kind of song that just warms you right up in winter. What’s even better is how calm and comfy it makes me feel when I listen to it alone.

“WALK” (DAY6 [Even of Day])

Kim DongHyun (Golden Child): The reason I’m recommending this song is because it makes me feel really strong when I listen to it. The melody’s good, but I think you should focus your attention on the lyrics! I hope you give it a listen and can move through the new year with energy and confidence.
