December 2025 presented us with some great, new music by our favorite groups and soloists–songs that kept us warm and happy throughout this cold, winter month. With only a few days left until the year heads into 2026, here is a look at some of the best B-sides to have been released this December.
“Blame us” - VERIVERY
VERIVERY brought smooth, nostalgic tones of R&B to their track “Blame us,” the closing track to their latest single album, LOST AND FOUND. Through the use of synth sounds in the instrumental, “Blame us” emits a warm presence; one that feels perfect for the Christmas/winter season, with VERIVERY's sweet, melodic vocals and an old school, boyband charm contributing towards the song's special, nostalgic ambience.
”Parachute” - SEO EUNKWANG
Known to command any stage with his intense vocals (particularly with ballad songs), SEO EUNKWANG surprised listeners by going down a country music route with his single "Parachute." Taken from his latest album, UNFOLD, "Parachute" intricately blends guitar, harmonica, and drums into its arrangement, together creating an addictive and impressive blues-country-rock song that differs, vastly, from the songs many casual listeners of SEO EUNKWANG and BTOB will be used to hearing. "Parachute" is a fun song that those who happen to enjoy country music (or country-influenced pop) will be obsessed with, and will want to hear more of in K-Pop.
“Stay” - WayV
“If you don't wanna be here, you don't have to stay” sings WayV in “Stay,” a single from their special winter album, 白色定格 (Eternal White). But WayZenNi (WayV's fandom) are going nowhere, as the synth-infused R&B arrangement lures them deep into the song, guided by the soft, and gentle vocal delivery from the members. With lyrics sung entirely in English, co-written and co-produced by Dem Jointz, Leon Thomas, and Phillip “PSII Logan” Scott, “Stay” depicts the dramas of a broken relationship, with WayV approaching the track with an enticing yet laidback, nonchalant style that adds to the song's story.
