Here Are Some K-Pop Songs To Add To Your Holiday Playlist

While December is the month for music award ceremonies and the off-season for K-Pop singers, artists continue releasing carol albums for the end-of-the-year festivities. Let’s look at some festive songs we can look forward to wrapping up the year!

INFINITE’s Woohyun, released his first solo album, Whitree, last month, and although it is a full-length album, it was mainly filled with winter songs. The title track, “Baby Baby,” is a carol song that clearly sets the winter mood. He also participated in writing the lyrics and gave the song a bright and lovely feeling.
