That's why this song carries nicknames like 'Spring Carol' and 'Cherry Blossom Zombie'. It just never dies! It was also called 'Cherry Blossom Pension' because songwriter and lead singer Jang Beomjun was able to purchase a building with the royalties he made from the song.

2. Spring Day | 봄날 - BTS (2017)

Another classic spring K-pop song is 'Spring Day', which earned BTS four first-place trophies on local music programs and is the longest-charting song on Melon, charting for over 130 weeks. 

Even amongst ARMY, this song is known to bump up on the charts every once in a while, giving it the nickname of being the "Queen", as it always seems to reappear and knock other songs off the charts, including BTS's very own songs!

6. What The Spring?? | 봄이 좋냐?? - 10cm (2016)

Lyrics:

• 봄이 그렇게도 좋냐 멍청이들아
• Do you really love spring, you idiots?
• 벚꽃이 그렇게도 예쁘디 바보들아
• Do you really find cherry blossoms pretty, you fools?
• 결국 꽃잎은 떨어지지 니네도 떨어져라
• Flower petals eventually fall down, just like how you two will fall apart soon
• 몽땅 망해라
• Screw it all
