Time flies so fast, and the things we’ve always seen as fresh and brand new have actually grown to become, let’s just say, “classic”. And now that we’ve entered a new year, we’re going down memory lane and listing down some 21 iconic K-Pop songs that are turning (or have turned) a decade old this 2021!
(And yes, if this makes you feel old, especially for the titos and titas who entered the fandom around ten years ago, there’s nothing we can do about it — we really are getting old.)
