Not many Kpop songs starting with K? (1 Viewer)

[Moguri]

Todays card challenge made me think, are there not that many Kpop songs starting with K?

Or is it just the groups I like don't have many?

Also is it just a big coincidence or is there any reason for it?

 

[Myth]

Found a handful of other kiss songs

There’s prolly more out there lol

 

[Ahsoka]

I think it’s less than some letters but it probably still beats Q
But I think that it probably has to do with how any eaters start with k to begin with. I looked it up and can’t confirm for sure but I saw a couple sources saying K is the 5th least common letter to start a word. If that’s true it would make sense why it’s used in kpop songs less, just because there’s fewer options.

I have four songs on my Kpop playlist, but all of them are title tracks

I think part of the challenge is it being a B-side specifically. Like I immediately thought of KNK's Knock, and I saw someone else post about TWICE's Knock Knock. I went with XH's Knock Down.

Which @bunnyviolet inspired me and I did a search for just "kpop knock" and also got:
Astro - Knock
Nasty Nasty - Knock

And for some reason, P1Harmony - Back Down? Why not, eh?

seems like Kiss is the savior word for all songs starting with K

But also from some of the examples, the group name contains Kiss, not the song title ^^"

oh and yeah ofc, for the challenge you have to ignore all title tracks, so that makes it a lot harder xD not sure how many of the songs from bunnys list are title tracks

Look for songs starting with ‘know’ other than the ‘kiss’ which is already mentioned
Also ‘kick’
‘Knock’

lol looking forward to the day its Qs turn but I can already tell Twice has 2 songs in store for me, as Queen starts with Q

The information with K being 5th least common letter is very interesting though and is a very good explanation! Is this true for english only or across all languages?

in the end you just have to post "kick it" like the rest of us

Girls' Generation's Kissing You.

[ Such nostalgia :: tears up ::: I'll post more if I can recall. ]

English specifically, but since the names tend to be translations it’ll be true that they have less words to start the song with, unless they literally translate the name by letter or use a non English word (such as Lo Siento) in its place.
