Red Velvet's "Dumb Dumb" has reference from Michael Jackson's songs.

[@jp9480]

the amount of times red velvet reference dumb dumb in their songs is crazy

[@Linospudding0325]

I love when kpop songs uses references and interpolations!! sometimes you listen to a song and just hear things that are familiar, idk it gives a type of nostalgia to some songs, idk if that’s just me tho 😭😭

[@shotanextdoor]

The EXO x Suzanne Vega crossover was not at all what I was expecting 😭

[@busyybee]

marks verse in lemonade by nct 127 references their past titles too!!! 달려가 like *소방차* (fire truck) 무대를 터트려 like *cherry bomb* 태가 나잖아 *irregular* (reference to regular)

[@YejisGirly]

Theres also aespa mentioning their own songs in other songs Step Back - GTB mentions Next Level, Drama mentions Savage, Girls mentions Next Level, Next Level mentions Black Mamba. Slay - Everglow also references TLC's album Crazy Sexy Cool

[@viviylleia]

in sweet crazy love, some of the lyrics say "cherry motion" (lcm)

[@h.p.9398]

tripleS has a lot of these! i'm probably missing some but off the top of my head, 24 references a lot of their other songs (rising, generation, touch, dimension, and deja vu are named although deja vu could also be a reference to the rising chorus, 이 표정은 classic = new look, 무한대로 before they mention generation references the lovelution album muhan, 우리만의 cherry is obv about cherry talk) + girls never die also has a reference to "shine better" in invincible w yeonji's line + hit the floor has kotone and yeonji (who debuted w evolution and invincible) sing "강해 invincible" in the bridge + kaede's "1 2 3 4" in complexity is sampled in the dance break of girls never die and then referenced in choom with a similar "1 2 3 4" line + just do it references rising w "흔들려도 피어나는“

[@taemteez]

[@ChloeBx]

In Hit the floor there's also the rain and tsars mention from girls never die ❤

[@vanniaabigailromeroruiz7568]

the one that comes to my mind rn it's straykids DOMINO, they make some references to their own song like "side effects" and many more

[@HOSHTASTIC]

billlie make tons of references to their previous songs in "bttb (back to the basics)", especially in both pre-choruses, verse 2 and the bridge!

[@gelesic6757]

[@franimer2107]

All billlies songs reference each other, also you forgot jinsouls "swallow the sun" references across her songs

[@iceandchips]

Seventeen’s fearless references a line from fear and also the diamond days song from the album seventeen heaven interpolates (or ref I’m not sure) their pre debut song shining diamond

[@Joestbeau]

+ lie again with don't wanna cry

[@iceandchips]

@ oh yes!!! Missed that one

[@Youdontevenknowmynamedoya.]

2:21 made me think of Dahlia by (G)i-dle : "Mitji mayo Dahlia wiheomhaeyo Darling Na"

[@jerrythemagicalllama]

My favorite one: In "The Boys" by Girls' Generation, the rap section starts with "I wanna dance right now / naega ikkeureo julkke Come out/We can show 'em how the girls get down", which is referencing the line "I wanna rock right now / I'm Rob Base and I came to get down" from Rob Base & DJ E Z Rocks' "It Takes Two"

[@krishna2090]

Omg!! I didn’t know txt interpolated the lyric AND the choreo of Boy In Luv😲

[@oddinarypeople3872]

stray kids - cheese also, "what's funny about "du du du, du du du" " - god's menu reference "what's funny about a headache" - side effects reference ("meori apeuda" part)

[@liz2668]

I can't believe so many of these went over my head. Great video!

[@davidpaniki6199]

My current favorite is Lovefool in Ive's Off the Record, because I love both. And as usual, I should pay more attention to Ateez.

[@dallaverse]

bttb (back to the basics) by billlie references a lot of their previous tracks! also the same thing with i’m the trend by (g)i-dle :)

[@lightup35]

TRENDZ 's "Out of Control" references Pink Floyd's "Another Brick In The Wall"

[@julesfoury9240]

(G)I-DLE in I'm The Trend for example

[@niktwaznychyba]

idk if this counts but onlyoneof's "we're born this way baby" in 'seoul drift' is probably a reference to 'born this way' by lady gaga

[@julesfoury9240]

Dumb Dumb referencing to Michael Jackson's songs
