11. Christmas Music/Songs in South Korea

 Some experience Christmas as a religious celebration. Other people like a moment to enjoy with the family (and eat a lot), people who are alone, there are those who don't care and also some who transform it into an opportunity to receive gifts. Just like in Japan, Christmas in South Korea is an excuse to get together, have fun and eat. For most people it has no religious significance since the largest percentage of Koreans are Buddhist or atheist.



Most of the songs here are very little known in much of the world, most of them are from the famous K-POPERS, groups of people or YOUNG PEOPLE who are very similar to some more well-known groups around the world, they sing "Christmas carols" but in their own way, with other words and other meanings, many even praise other things, very different from the rest of the world.

Some of the most popular songs are:

(1469) BTOB - 울면 안 돼 (The Winter's Tale) Official Music Video - YouTube

(1469) INFINITE_하얀고백_Lately_Full_MV - YouTube

(1470) Girls' Generation-TTS 소녀시대-태티서 'Dear Santa' MV - YouTube
