Yes, like what the picture shows I really do love ballads. I think I fall in love with ballad more than the pop songs. Most of the K-Pop (Korean Pop) fans are really into Korean Idol and their songs are fast ones. Yet, what fans (not all) or hatred don't know is Korean music scene is similar or same to any music industry to other countries like Malaysia. Like Malaysia (my lovely country), we have pop, ballad, rock and also our traditional music. Likewise in Korea they also have the same genre as my country has except they call their traditional music Trot or Folk genre.
p/s: I'm not saying I'm analysis the industry music. Just wanna share that we share the same thing except it's in different language and please don't discriminate or anything.
Let's get back to the main topic again. Even in ballad they have lots of genre such as love ballad or rock ballad. It really took me a long time to decide because there's so much I love but I need to choose 10. So here is my list but please remember it's my list not yours.
10. BAEK JI YOUNG [백지영] - THAT MAN/THAT WOMAN
Baek Ji Young originally debut as a dance singer but she really shines in ballad song. She is one of the famous ballad singer and most wanted for drama or movie sound track. This song is from Secret Garden drama. It's a hit drama same goes for the song. It have two version one from THAT WOMAN to that guy which called That Woman [그여자] and the other one THAT MAN to that woman which called That Man [그남자]. That Man also was sang by her but they have another version which was sang by the actor Hyun Bin. Besides than the song, I really recommend you to watch this drama. Here I'll share the link SECRET GARDEN
9. 4 MEN & DAVICHI [다비치] - CAN WE LOVE AGAIN
[다시 사랑할 수 있을까]
This song originally sang by 4 Men and then remake it by duet with Davichi. I love the duet because it's like give and take in the lyrics. Even though 4 Men alone singing it is already awesome but duet gives you a different feeling. Below is the original song sang by 4 Men.
8. SEE YA [씨야] - SHOES ][구두]
When I first heard the song, I can already feel the pain of a woman. Then as I watched the music video (MV) I shed tears. How pity a woman could be because of love. How I can relate the lyrics to myself as a woman. It must be painful. See ya voices really makes me jealous. How I wish I have their voice. There are 3 parts of video and shoes is the first part. Here I will share with you the other 2 parts.
Part 2 - Crazy Love Song [미친 사랑의 노래]
Part 3
- That Person [그사람]
7. BAEK JI YOUNG [백지영] - DON'T FORGET [잊이 말아요]
Everyone who loves korean drama never miss to watch this drama IRIS. It is one of the most famous drama and this song really gets love from them. For me it is one of the challenging song to sing. You must have the emotion and good low notes. Baek Ji Young is totally perfect for this song.
6. KIM JONG KOOK [김졸국] - THANK YOU [고맙다]
Actually there are 4 other songs that I really not sure whether to include in this top 10. Like I said earlier there's so many to choose from and so many that I love. Anyway I'm still going to share it with you who knows right if you like it too.
1. Vibe - I'm to You [내가너를]
I'm not so sure the title in english but it's best if you write it in korean.This song is regarding a man's love and wondering whether will he be able to forget her and erase her. Will he be mad or instead he say sorry. It's a pain love that he has to leave.
2. Shinhwa - Destiny of Love [흔적]
I know you guys will said that I'm a Shinhwa freak so of course I will spread Shinhwa's love but that's not about it. This song is really super sweet sad song. About a guy who can't let go his love and willing to wait for her. Ouh I like that kind of eternal love. Anyway, the korean title actually mean traces but in english they change it.
3.Hwayobi - Glass [유리]
Besides Baek Ji Young, Hwayobi is another korean artist that I adore. Her voice is totally to die for if you listen to her song. This song is from Miss Ripley drama. It's about love that is fragile like a glass.
HWAYOBI - GLASS <- click="" p="" to="" watch="">
4. Big Mama - Betrayal [배반]
Big Mama debut with Breakaway and the name really represent them. As time goes by, they start to slim down but their voices remain fabulous as ever. Betrayal is one of my favorite. The song is about the lady who betrayal the guy. Asking for forgiveness because her heart keep going to someone else.

5. SPICA - Since You're Out of My Life
Spica my favorite girl group idol I must say. Their voices and song choices really make me search on them. This song tell what happened after they break. After that guy gone what happened to her.
