Ballads are soothing melodies which hold the power to take us to a world of serenity, be it after a tiresome day at school or when you're stressed with work. Korea has many amazing musical artists who produce beautiful and soothing ballads to please us. So, here are some recommendations from us!
한숨 Breathe - Lee Hi
Breathe is a ballad song written by Jonghyun in 2016 and successfully performed by Lee Hi. It's a sad story behind the song, but the lyrics will give you a hug to comfort you when you're having a hard time. In life, it's inevitable to have a difficult time. At that time, let's take a deep breath and breathe out all our worries and continue to be optimistic.
겨울잠 Winter Sleep - IU
Winter sleep is a beautiful ballad from IU's special mini album 'Pieces' which was released in December 2021. The very poetic song deals with the loss of a loved one. IU’s silky smooth voice that flows along with the melancholic song adds depth and beauty to it. Be sure to check our the rest of the songs from the album which are equally soothing!
겨울숨 Winter breath - Sooyoung
Winter Breath is Girls Generation's Sooyoung's first solo digital single. It was released in 2018. The sad melody follows a story of loneliness amidst the cold and harsh winter- a pain and void that stems from the absence of loved ones. Sooyoung's beautiful voice makes the song a wonderful experience.

Very beautiful! I sometimes listen to korean balads. One of my favourite song is marry me by 우주소녀. The songs you guys have mentioned was almost new to me because I'm not a frequent listener of K-balads. But I liked it^^
