Alexa – DBSK and Super Junior’s “Show Me Your Love” and SHINee’s version of “Last Christmas”
“Show Me Your Love”: “Yes, I know this song was released back in 2005 but no matter how many times I listen to it, it never fails to bring a smile to my face! Re-watching this musik video and seeing how young and energetic DBSK and (newly debuted) Super Junior were is quite endearing, haha (especially since they are both presented with lebih mature concepts nowadays).”
“Last Christmas”: “A SHINee twist on one of my favorit natal songs? Yes please! I liked how they were able to add their own style in this revamped 2011 cover. This is definitely one lighthearted song anda want to listen to this holiday season!” link

Stacey – DJ DOC’s “Winter Story” and Shin Seung Hoon’s “Christmas Miracle” ft. Kim Jo Han
“Winter Story”: “This is one of the oldest Korean songs I’ve grown up listening to and I still enjoy playing this every holiday season! It’s a story about winter and the sadness the [singer] is feeling about how he will never see the cinta of his life again after this cold winter because she is breaking up with him. Although the lyrics of the song are a bit sad, it’s bittersweet because it’s conveyed through such an upbeat song. All of DJ DOC’s voices are perfect for the holiday season so I think many Koreaboo readers will enjoy this song’s exciting beat during the holidays!”
“Christmas Miracle”: “This is such a gorgeous song! Shin Seung Hoon’s voice is so gracious and pure in this lovely natal track where he’s confessing to the woman of his dreams, ‘when the world is covered white on Christmas~ when the lights are bright on Christmas~.’ This 2002 song has a surprising English hook, so many international fan may enjoy it a lot. Kim Jo Han’s featuring in the background makes the song so much lebih beautiful as well. It’s a track that will keep anda smiling with happiness–it’s one of those songs anda want the man of your dreams to sing to anda on natal hari atau a song you’d like to cuddle up with in your tempat tidur while drinking a hot mug of hot chocolate.”

Raquel – EXO’s “Christmas Day”
“The perfect romantic natal song <3.” link
Eva – INFINITE’s “White Confession (Lately)” and BTOB’s “You Can Cry”
“Lately”: “A song that would make your jantung flutter when anda listen closely to the lyrics, and feel like you’d want to be in cinta and spend the natal festive season with someone special. Complementing the smooth lyrics is the concept of the MV, filmed in Tokyo, where INFINITE walked down the streets of unique Japanese shops for presents. Especially, I find the “Merry Christmas” whisper oleh Sungyeol attractive, which was incorporated into the song.”
“You Can Cry”: “A really different natal concept song to take on, as they sing about how lonely natal can get for those who are still single. The lyrics sing out to me especially, since I’m single as well (sadly), but somehow the song provides me comfort and gives me a warm feeling that I’m not the only one feeling that way. They may not seem like an extremely viral atau outstanding group just yet, but fan who notice them would realize that their vocals, rapping, and entertainment skills make them a well-rounded group, as one can see from the MV.” link & link
