K-Pop Halloween: Day Three

In the infancy of this blog, I used to post a lot of Halloween-themed songs during the month of October. After a few years, that feature started to dwindle a bit. After all, there are only so many Halloween songs out there! But, to better reflect the changing tastes of the blog, I thought it would be fun to feature some Halloween-related tracks from Korea (and maybe one from Japan). Halloween isn't big in Korea, but I like to think these horror-themed songs could stand right alongside Thriller or Monster Mash!

Shinee - Nightmare
Shinee's Misconceptions of Me has several tracks that would fit the season, but this opener hits all the right notes with its dark, synth beat and slinky chorus.



Park Jung Min - Devil
Jung Min's 2012 album Midnight Theatre is almost a Halloween album unto itself, especially when he integrates a dramatic church organ so completely into the dance beat.
