Best K-Pop Music Videos of January 2025

Take a look at some of the best work to come out of January 2025.

BEST MUSIC VIDEOS BY A GROUP

The iconic trio of SEVENTEEN, BOOSEOKSOON is back, and it wouldn’t be a BSS video without theatrics. The title “청바지 (CBZ (Prime Time))” directly translates to “blue jeans” which doubles as an acronym for “youth is now.” The video of course plays around with this double meaning, with BSS giving out pants and gathering a crowd of people holding up signs of pants. 

GOT7 has finally returned with “PYTHON.” The dark aesthetics of the video suits the members well, giving them a mature look. The video is fast-paced, but all seven of the members still have their own screen time. On theme with the album's title, Winter Heptagon, the members are seen dancing and laying in the snow. The choreography is magnetic as they show off just why the group has the power and longevity that they do.

ZEROBASEONE is lovesick in this hospital-themed music video where the members are all patients being treated for broken hearts. “Doctor! Doctor!” came perfectly in time for Valentine’s Day, with the video being filled with hearts. The video even has a post credit scene of the members leaving the hospital after having been cured.

BEST MUSIC VIDEOS BY A SOLO ARTIST

Onew shows off his acting skills in his new music video “Winner.” Filmed in Czech Republic, the video includes beautiful shots that show off the charm of the city they filmed in. The video opens with Onew emerging from a car crash and wandering around the city: cold, bloody, and alone. 

“Love Hangover” by Jennie and Dominic Fike is a smooth pop track about a toxic love. The video features Charles Melton who stars as the male lead who Jennie keeps going on dates with, despite how disastrously each of them ends. The videos perfectly timed comedic elements makes for a fun watch, showcasing how the outlandish events that led up to her death unraveled.

Kim Wansun and Seulgi of Red Velvet’s single “Lucky” brings together two iconic artists from different generations. The song and video have many retro elements that pay homage to “The Korean Madonna” Wansun’s career. The song itself mixes disco and pop, creating a sound that fans of any age can enjoy. In the video, Wansun and Seulgi don clothes that play around with the mixture of eras, giving them another element of blending the generations.
