We’re always looking for an excuse to make a new playlist, and the change in weather is always a good reason. Fall is a season of change, and each of the artists on this list is bringing change to K-Pop, with their fresh 5th Gen perspective!
BOYNEXTDOOR – ‘Count To Love’
We’re starting off with the newest release on our 5th Gen K-pop playlist! If ‘I Love You’ is BOYNEXTDOOR’s winter song, we’re pitching that ‘Count To Love’ is their autumnal edition. The Japanese single makes us giddy; that’s how much fun it is.

ILLIT – ‘Do the Dance’
Never mind the changing seasons, ILLIT’s ‘Do the Dance’ music video gives us the changes of each hour in the day! The transition from bright daylight to warm orange sunset could easily represent the switch from summer to fall.

ZEROBASEONE – ‘CRUSH’
Maybe this isn’t the ZB1 song that has the most autumnal aesthetic, but it’s all about the timing. ‘CRUSH’ was released in November 2023, and we had it on repeat so much that early sunsets and the smell of cinnamon basically awakens us like a sleeper agent. We’ll never have an autumn without this song again.

tripleS – ‘Rising’
Are we just finding any excuse we can to listen to ‘Rising’ at this point? Yes. Is knowing that going to stop us? No. The music video for ‘Rising’ features the rainy evening vibes we associate with this time of year! Even more than that, this song is the perfect soundtrack for when you’re on the move, especially on any crisp autumn walks!

&TEAM – ‘Jyuugoya’
Whether you think &TEAM “count” as K-Pop or not, there’s absolutely no denying that this song belongs on every fall playlist. Throughout 2024, &TEAM had four comebacks, each deliberately centered around a different season. ‘Jyuugoya,’ which was the most understated of the four mini eras, is an autumnal anthem. Bonus points if you check out its b-side, ‘Big Suki,’ too.
