It has been over a year since the COVID-19 pandemic changed the world and everyone has been affected, including our favorite K-Pop idols. While we try to cope with the new normal and the vaccine rollouts give hope for us to freely go outside again, it will still take some time for the world to recover from the whole pandemic situation. Even so, we can take inspiration from these K-Pop artists as the worldwide crisis has not stopped them from doing what they like--making music and relating to their fans. They also take the chance to comfort their listeners amid the current situation. Here are some songs by K-Pop artists that one will certainly relate to during quarantine.
