In the eyes of every fan, their idol is everything. In the eyes of an idol, he is nothing without his fans. Honestly, idols’ love for their fans is also as big and sweet as that of their fans. To highlight this special relationship, each idol group has its own way different from others. One of the ways selected by most idols is the “fan-song” – a song written exclusively for their fans because they are the pride of every fandom.
The “fan song” can convey love, thanks, apologetic messages, or simply applause and encouragement. No matter what messages it conveys, “fan song” is still a very special song and is the only one in Kpop. So, let’s see how sweet the songs Kpop idols sent to their fans!
BIG BANG – “The Last Dance”
The five members of BIG BANG reunited one last time before TOP’s military enlistment and gave the VIPs this heartfelt letter asking them to wait for their return and to remember them until their return. BIG BANG also released a fan version of their song “Dirty Cash” in 2006
Two! Three! (I still hope there are better days ahead) – BTS
Idol group BTS is known for its extremely deep love for ARMY. They started from a negative number, so obviously BTS understands that there is no royal, flower-strewn road to success. In those moments when we want to give up the most, what we need is only encouragement and motivation. “Okay, come on, when I say 1, 2, 3 forget it. Erase all sad memories, hold my hand and smile. I hope for more beautiful days.” This is the emotional message that BTS wants to convey to all the ARMIES in the world through their song entitled “Two! Three!”.
One in a million – twice.
“When you keep getting angry, look for me. Even on days full of happiness, come to me” – Twice hopes that Once will always remember them whenever they are happy or sad. Above all, “Once In A Million” is a special song to encourage anyone who is lost.
Milky Way – VIXX
Ravi and Hyuk collaborated to write meaningful lyrics for “Milky Way”. “Girl, you are my starlight. Girl, I’m your starlight.” They compare their fans to the star of their success, exactly like the name of their fandom: Starlight.
April 19th was the day A Pink officially appeared in the Kpop competition. For A Pink and Pink Panda it was a very significant day. Therefore, group leader Chorong chose “April 19″ as the title for their song. “April 19th” is a sincere thank you that A Pink wants to address to Pink Panda: “Thank you very much. We went to tell you that we love you so much.”
The “fan song” will have more meaning if it is written by idols for their fans. For EXO-L, “Promise” is a very special song. “Promised” was composed by Lay, while the lyrics were written by Chen and the rapping was done by Chanyeol. When “Promise” was sung out loud at EXO’s concert, the stadium filled with tears over the boys’ promises to their fans. “I promise, I will always make you smile, as our promise, we are one.”
9 years is a very long journey for SNSD and their fans. To celebrate this special anniversary, SNSD released “0805” composed by Sooyoung to send the promise to Sone that “We are together until the end, we will be again and again and again, I will keep the promise on that summer day.”
“Healing” is Seventeen’s thank you message to their Carat. Thanks to Carat, Seventeen are encouraged during their commitments. Thanks to Carat, the Seventeen are able to rest, heal, have more strength. So I am Carat. Let’s see the smiles of the Seventeen guys through the MV “Healing” and cheer up your tired soul!
2NE1’s “fan-song” for Blackjack was unfortunately a farewell. 2NE1 ended their 7-year journey with “Goodbye”, a touching song. However, goodbye is not the end forever. Now 2NE1 have reunited and hold concerts together like the one they sang: “Goodbye, goodbye, until the distant day when we will see each other again”
“I won’t let you go. I promise you, I too, forever, I love you too” – this is what Mamamoo promised their fans through the song “Never Letting Go”. This is considered MooMoo’s “signature song” because almost all of their fans know it by heart.
Each “fan-song” is not only a meaningful gift to the fandom, but also a sincere thank you message that Kpop idols want to send to those who support them. No matter whether they break up or continue working, these songs are beautiful memories between fans and idols.
