These Were The 25 “Hottest K-Pop Songs” In May, According To Fans

On KingChoice, a popular K-Pop and Asian entertainment polling website, there’s a monthly poll for music fans to vote for the “Hot 50 World Songs” of each month. Given that the website attracts mostly K-Pop fans, most of the songs ranked high on the list are in that music genre, but some of the choices might be surprising!

Most of the songs ranked high for the month of May were released earlier this year or last year, but some of them came out even earlier than that! Here are the fan-voted top 25 “hottest” K-Pop songs in May. Keep in mind that both upvotes and downvotes work together to determine the rankings, and that the few non-K-Pop songs from the official list were not included below.
