Despite K-pop's Korean origins, it draws a lot of impact from western music, and not just from the more apparent styles of pop, rock and hi-hop, but also from European classical music.
The outro music to this video is my track "Knell" which you can hear completely on Spotify:.

I had no idea even K-Pop did this!
I was in the car and heard on the radio La campanella, I was so excited to finally hear clasical music on the radio! Then it was black pink…
blackpink in your area…
It’s important to note that while the original music may be copyright free, the arrangements and performances people make are not, so don’t steal the audio from orchestra videos or another interpreter.
True 😊
when I saw the title of this video I immediately thought of feel my rhythm by red velvet, which uses air on the g string!
Im a bit surprised that it wasn’t included since it uses many different parts of it. Birthday could have been also included for its use of Rhapsody in blue, but that sample is very short tho.
I find kpop more interesting than most of american pop specially in the last years.
Even having some problems as a pop genre, kpop explores sounds and estructures in much more interesting ways, from Twice to Enhypen.
I Hope you make more content related to kpop
I CAME HERE EXPECTING A LIST OF 10,000 POP SONGS.
INSTEAD I GOT A LIST OF 10 GROUPS OF BEAUTIFUL KOREAN PEOPLE.
Brilliant idea to change harmonies to familiar melody. Like in Canon in D.
I think that if music is been in top 100 for a week, it has become half public domain.
Here in Scandinavia we have this thing called Protection of Classics, so if a classical piece in public domain is being used in a derogatory sense it could potentially lead to legal action. So, as a Scandinavian, you need to use your common sense when borrowing from classical works.
Damn, I was just about to sample some Grieg for a diss track xD
That’s an interesting concept. But while I personally feel that many of the K Pop Songs in the video lack of quality and creativity (maybe with the exemption of the interesting reharmonizations) I also acknoweldge that those borrowings helps to keep those melodies in the collective consciousness.
You can also hear ‘Carmen Habanera’ from an intro of ‘Nxde’ by (G)I-DLE,
‘Air On The G-String’ from an intro of ‘Feel My Rhythm’ by Red Velvet
I swear most of the best songs are either based on Canon in D or Moonlight Sonata
Bach’s Air from Orchestral Suite #3 (air on a g string) is another one that has been used quite a bit. Whiter shade of Pale being the most famous but far from the only one.
Check out Dreamcatcher’s “Good Night”, which is based on Handel’s Passacaglia from Suite No. 7 in G minor, both in the intro and the chord progression in the chorus.
Regardless, I recommend checking out Dreamcatcher anyway, they’re amazing. (Start with “Scream” or “Boca” maybe.)
I rarely can enjoy classical melody on modern pop music, somehow they always feel… obnoxious and disjointed.
What AKMU did with the chord progression was fantastic, it just sounds pleasant and feel more intergrated with the song.
PS: I wish you included Red Velvet – Feel My Rhythm, I find it also one of the better examples of the classical melody in kpop songs.
Great video! You should do more of these k-pop focused videos. I would have added “Feel My Rythm” by Red Velvet, which heavily takes inspiration from Air On The G String, in a very peculiar way
Dang I’m impressed. Usually whenever someone mentioned kpop songs that are based on classical music, they mention either songs that are less than 3 years old or only artists that are currently active but you clearly mentioned more
BESIDES FEEL MY RHYTHM C’MON DAVID
These are all the kpop songs I’ve heard that are based on classical pieces (even before watching the video) but I’d be interested to see if there were others especially from smaller or lesser known groups
This is the first time I’ve ever heard K-pop. This is also the first of your videos where I couldn’t make it to the end 😁😂
OK, the Beethoven’s Moonlight sonata might be sped up a little in the K-pop version but the Rousseau’s rendition is horribly slowed down. It’s the typical “your aunt” style of playing it.
The band Ateez mix their song “answer” with “ode to joy” for a live kingdom performance, it’s a nice mashup with a lot of metal guitars, kind of funny to see that in a kpop performance, check it out
Honestly, you could probably do a whole video just on Kpop songs that use Fur Elise.
