10 K-pop songs for autumn nights — from KYUHYUN to IU

It's that time of year when the days are still warm, but the air changes once the sun goes down. We picked ten K-pop songs that either came out in autumn or carry autumn and night in their titles and albums. The order isn't a ranking; it's the order they were released.

KYUHYUN 'A Million Pieces'

The title track of KYUHYUN's second mini album, released October 15, 2015. Even the album title, 'Fall, Once Again', says it: autumn again. It came out the year after the first solo album, 'At Gwanghwamun', and once more it was timed for autumn. Apple Music

BTS 'Autumn Leaves'

A track from 'The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Pt. 2' (November 30, 2015). Just as the title says, it's about fallen leaves, and it arrived at the very tail end of late autumn. It's an album track with no music video, so you'll be listening to the official audio. Apple Music
