Iconic K-pop Collaborations We Still Can’t Believe Are Real

Ever wondered what it would look like if your biases got to collaborate?

Here’s 8 of the best, shocking, and brilliant crossover we never expected to happen:

1. JIMIN of BTS and Ha Sung Woon – “With You”

‘Our Blues’ was one of the biggest K-dramas of 2022, but its soundtrack took things to another level with an incredible collaboration between close friends BTS’s Jimin and Ha Sung Woon. Their synergy as associates shines via on this touching pop ballad, with Sung Woon’s ever-so-slightly husky voice melting seamlessly with Jimin’s signature sweet candy tone.

2. Hyoyeon from SNSD and (G)I-DLE’s Jeon Soyeon – “Dessert”

Jeon Soyeon was the perfect choice as a feature on Hyoyeon’s “Dessert.” In addition to her rap introduction, the (G)I-DLE leader and rapper even made an appearance in the song’s music video. Two of the biggest female idols from their respective generations dancing side by side. Is this even real?

3. Nayeon from TWICE and Felix from Stray Kids – “No Problem”

In her debut release, TWICE’s Nayeon gifted fans with “No Problem,” a cheerful English-language disco track about an unstoppable love. To the delight of many, Nayeon also enlisted the help of label-mate Felix of Stray Kids for a playful rap verse on this track. Such a mood!

4. SHINee’s Taemin and Red Velvet’s Seulgi – “Heart Stop”

In this light-hearted, lowkey dance track, Taemin and Seulgi show off their prowess as vocalists, and their unique voices perfectly express the push-and-pull of “Heart Stop.” Now if only they released a dance video for this song. Who would’ve thought a duet between two main dancers could sound so beautiful?

5. IU and Suga from BTS – “Eight”

The ever-iconic soloist and iconic BTS member. Period. It’s no exaggeration to say that the world stopped in its tracks when IU and Suga finally teamed up for this track in 2020. The same-aged stars are among the best songwriters and producers in K-pop. Their music transcends the boundaries of language and offers warmth and comfort to their listeners, and “Eight” is no exception.

6. Key from SHINee and Taeyeon from SNSD – “Hate That”

While Key and Taeyeon are all smiles and laughter when they’re together, the moody, melancholic “Hate That” from the former’s 2021 album is a heartbreakingly beautiful ode to lost love. Why did it take this long for the most chaotic bestie duo in K-pop to release a song together?

7. Chung Ha and BIBI – “Crazy Like You”

The captivating “Crazy Like You” from Chung ha’s second studio album perfectly taps into the singer’s sultry side. And as if this song couldn’t get any better, BIBI makes a brief but impactful appearance in the second verse with her moody, velvety smooth voice.

8. ENHYPEN and Yeonjun from TXT – “Blockbuster”

The close friendship between the members of ENHYPEN and TXT is no secret, and perhaps that’s why Yeonjun sounded right at home in this track. Bursting into “Blockbuster” with a powerful self-written rap verse, Yeonjun perfectly embodies ENHYPEN’s signature mash-up of hip hop and pop-rock and adds a burst of edgy energy into the track.
