melon counts down the ‘Top 100 K-Pop Masterpieces,’ or the 100 best kpop songs of all time!

Earlier this week, Melon started a countdown of the 100 best kpop songs! The 100 songs were picked out of 1,120 picks by a board of 35 critics and/or industry professionals. On Melon's write-up it says the criteria was based on the popularity, creativity, influence, significance, and performances of the songs picked... that includes the virality for the some of the newer songs definitely, too. You can check the yearly breakdown here. Below is a (nearly) full playlist!

Interesting list. If Growl is on here then IGAB should be too!

Spring Day should replace Dynamite. Why is it even on the list??

Spring Day is already on the list #31. I feel like Dynamite, DNA and Boy with Luv all should be out, and maybe I need U, Run or even Fire replace one of those.

The bts choices were lazy tbh. It's like they Googled "popular bts songs" and chose the top three lol. Spring Day and BST definitely deserve to be there. Dynamite, Boy with Luv, and DNA? Not so much. I'd pick Dope.

not here for the dna slander but for the rest agree heavily!

I meant the placement of it, it should be in the top 10.

I think DNA should stay because it made their audience bigger but Dynamite doesn’t belong here at all

Dynamite being higher than Spring Day is WILD
