K-Pop Karaoke Songs: 35 Picks Including KPop Demon Hunters

I picked these for how they actually go at karaoke, not just how popular they are. Some are all-English and easy for anyone. Others have fast rap verses that only work if your crew has practiced. The table shows difficulty and length for each one, and every song has a short note on where the tricky part is.

Start the night with these. Everyone in the room knows at least the hook, so nobody has to carry a whole song alone.

• "Gangnam Style" — PSY — The verses are quick Korean talk-rap, but the chorus hook is one word and the whole room shouts it. Do the horse dance and nobody will care how the verses went. It's the song that turns a quiet room loud.
• "Fantastic Baby" — BIGBANG — Split the rap verses and let everyone jump in on the chant-along chorus. It's more of a hype track than a singing test. Pass the second mic around so every verse gets a new voice.
• "Dynamite" — BTS — All English, a comfortable range and a disco groove that carries you. If one person in the group has never sung K-pop before, hand them this.
• "Gee" — Girls' Generation — The chorus is built on a repeated syllable you can learn in ten seconds, so even people who've never heard it join in by the second round. The verses sit in a mid range and move at an easy pace. A classic for a reason in every noraebang book.
• "Nobody" — Wonder Girls — Retro Motown-style bounce with a chorus that's mostly the title repeated. Older K-pop fans lose their minds when it comes on. Easy to split between four or five people.
• "APT." — Rosé & Bruno Mars — Mostly English, under three minutes, and the chorus is a drinking-game chant that everyone knows. Pick a Rosé and a Bruno and let the rest of the room clap along. It's the easiest K-pop crossover to sell to a mixed group.

From second-gen classics to fourth-gen hits. Some of these have rap verses, so check the difficulty before you pick.

• "Ddu-Du Ddu-Du" — BLACKPINK — Fast rap verses, a high pre-chorus and an instrumental drop where you'll want to do the finger-gun move. It's hard to sing alone, so split it four ways like the group does. When it works, the room goes wild.
• "How You Like That" — BLACKPINK — Rap-heavy verses and a big belted bridge, then a drop with almost no words. Nail the attitude and you're halfway there. Best with at least two people so you can breathe between parts.
• "TT" — TWICE — A sweet, bouncy melody with lots of short lines to hand out between singers. The crying-face hand move in the chorus is half the fun. It sits in a comfortable range for most voices.
• "Cheer Up" — TWICE — Quick, chirpy verses and one of the best-known hooks in K-pop. The tempo shifts a few times, so listen for the changes. Great pick for a group of friends who all know the dance.
• "Love Dive" — IVE — Breathy, mid-tempo and short. The chorus sits a little high but never needs a big belt. Good for a singer who wants something cool rather than loud.
• "Hype Boy" — NewJeans — Soft, relaxed vocals in a narrow range, with lots of English in the chorus. You can sing it at speaking volume and it still sounds right. One of the easiest recent K-pop picks.
• "Super Shy" — NewJeans — The notes are easy, but the words come fast over a quick drum beat. Read a line ahead and you'll be fine. It's over in two and a half minutes, so the room never gets restless.
• "Next Level" — aespa — The song changes gear three or four times, with rap sections, a slow bridge and high notes near the end. Know it well before you queue it. For fans, it's a flex.
• "Queencard" — (G)I-DLE — Cheeky, confident and short, with a chorus built for pointing at yourself in the mirror. The rap bits are short and manageable. Great hype song for a birthday girl.
• "Dalla Dalla" — ITZY — Punchy rap, quick switches and a high chorus hook. It needs energy more than a pretty voice. Split it among a few friends so no one runs out of breath.

A mix of noraebang staples and fan favorites. The ballads here are the ones Korean friends actually sing in rooms.

• "Boy With Luv" — BTS feat. Halsey — Bright and poppy, with short rap parts and a chorus that stays mid-range. Hand the Halsey part to a second singer. Fans in the room will sing every line with you.
• "Spring Day" — BTS — A slow, emotional build with rap verses and a chorus that climbs high near the end. This is the one to sing when the room gets sentimental at 1 a.m. Fans will get emotional.
• "Love Scenario" — iKON — The easiest boy-group song on this list, with a gentle melody, a steady tempo and a chorus that barely moves. It's a noraebang favorite across every age group. Easy for anyone with a mid or low voice.
• "Growl" — EXO — Smooth R&B verses, one short rap and a chorus that sits comfortably. Split it between a few friends and it sounds like the real thing. Older fans will recognize it in two notes.
• "Sorry, Sorry" — Super Junior — Repetitive, dance-heavy and built around a hook anyone can follow. The hand-rubbing move is famous, so do it. Classic pick for anyone who remembers second-gen K-pop.
• "Bang Bang Bang" — BIGBANG — A build-up that explodes into a chant chorus, so the whole room ends up shouting. The rap verses are quick but short. Best as a closer when energy is high.
• "God's Menu" — Stray Kids — Dense, fast rap from start to finish, so this is a stunt, not a warm-up. If your crew knows it, split it three ways and go for it. The payoff is huge.
• "Very Nice" — SEVENTEEN — Nonstop energy, lots of parts and a fast tempo. It's hard to sing solo but a blast with a big group. Expect the room to jump along to the final chorus.

The 2025 Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation film put fictional K-pop groups on real charts. HUNTR/X is voiced in song by EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami; the Saja Boys by Andrew Choi, Neckwav, Danny Chung, Kevin Woo and samUIL Lee. These are newer, so older noraebang machines may not have them yet.

• "Golden" — HUNTR/X — The verses are easy, but the chorus climbs high and the final choruses sit right at the top of most voices. Split the three HUNTR/X parts and let the strongest singer take the big notes. It's the song kids and adults both request right now.
• "How It's Done" — HUNTR/X — A fast mix of rap and sung hooks, built for three people. The rap parts are the hard bit, so give them to whoever practiced. It's short and full of energy, which makes it a great opener.
• "Soda Pop" — Saja Boys — A sugary, catchy chorus in a comfortable range, and it's over in two and a half minutes. Five singers can share it. The room will sing the hook back to you after one chorus.
• "Your Idol" — Saja Boys — Dark, dramatic and fun to over-act. The melody is mid-range, so most people can hit it; the challenge is selling the villain vibe. Great for a group of friends who want to ham it up.
• "Takedown" — TWICE — This is TWICE's version from the soundtrack; in the film, HUNTR/X sings it. It's aggressive, with rap verses and a punchy chorus. Split it among a few singers and go all in.
• "Free" — Rumi & Jinu — Sung by EJAE and Andrew Choi as the two leads, and the most natural duet in the film. The melody builds slowly and never gets too wild. Pick it with a friend who knows the story.
• "What It Sounds Like" — HUNTR/X — A heartfelt closing number with a big group harmony at the end. It's longer and slower than the rest, so save it for the end of the session. Three voices together sound great on it.

Still nervous about the high notes in Golden? Warm up with a few easy karaoke songs first.

English lyrics, or English choruses with short Korean lines you can pick up from the romanized text on screen.

• "Butter" — BTS — All English, short, and the melody is mostly smooth talk-singing. The room will clap along to the beat.
• "Permission to Dance" — BTS — All English and cheerful, with a simple chorus that repeats a lot. It's hard to sound bad on this one. Great for a mixed group where only a few people know K-pop.
• "Seven" — Jung Kook feat. Latto — English, smooth and mid-range, with a Latto rap verse you can hand to a friend. The chorus is a list of days, so it's easy to remember. Works for most voices.
• "Ice Cream" — BLACKPINK & Selena Gomez — Almost all English, short and playful. No big notes, just a bouncy rhythm and some light rap. A fun pick for two or three friends.
• "Dynamite" — BTS — If you only learn one K-pop song, make it this one. It's all English, the range is friendly and everyone knows the chorus. It works in bars as well as rooms.
• "APT." — Rosé & Bruno Mars — The only Korean in it is the title chant, which you'll learn in one listen. The rest is English. It's the easiest win on this list.
• "Golden" — HUNTR/X — Mostly English with a few Korean lines. The language won't trip you up, but the high chorus might. Take it down a key if the machine lets you.
• "Soda Pop" — Saja Boys — English hooks and short Korean phrases that are easy to follow on screen. It's short and upbeat. Good for someone who wants a KPDH song without the high notes of Golden.

Most K-pop karaoke happens in private rooms: noraebang in Korean, often called KTV in the US. You rent a room by the hour for your group, and the song book is a remote or a tablet instead of a binder. Every song has a number code. You can search by title or artist in English, Korean or romanized Korean, then punch in the code to queue it.

The big machines (TJ Media and Kumyoung are the two brands you'll see most) show the Korean lyrics on screen, and many rooms can also show romanized lyrics, so you can sing along without reading Hangul. If you can't find a song by its English title, try the Korean name spelled out in English letters, or search by artist. New releases take a while to reach the machines, so the newest songs may not be there yet.

The best places to try this in the US are the Korean neighborhoods: Koreatown in Manhattan, Flushing in Queens, Fort Lee across the river in New Jersey, and Koreatown in Los Angeles. Find a room near you on the private karaoke rooms page, and read the private karaoke room guide for prices and booking tips.
