he's a caretaker. he's a beast tamer. he's a stage mom. he's an item. he's a kindergarten teacher. he's a drill sergeant. he's a joseon era grandma. he's a princess. he's a blackmailer. he's a human trafficking victim. he's pregnant with dragon eggs. he's a high school dropout. he's han yoojin.

TRACKLIST (with links to color coded lyrics) UNDER THE CUT
Girls Never Die / tripleS
La la la la la la la Gonna go all the way, not gonna give up this time La la la la la la la We stand up even when we fall We go, we high, go now La la la la la la la Girls never die, girls never cry
When we meet him Han Yoojin has already hit rock bottom and bounced so let's start with the song about deciding not to kill yourself.
Closer / OH MY GIRL
You must have been very far. Every day I go closer to you but you seem so far away Hello shooting star please fulfill my wish
Chasing being a hunter to get close to his brother again.
Can We Talk Again / PURPLE KISS
Back to you, back again It’s been more lonely and more miserable than I thought Because your existence was so big I couldn’t get rid of these feelings, so stupid All the times I spent with you I wish I could forget them
The FIRST of many romance songs I am choosing to interpret as platonic because the Han brothers are weird about each other.
Nightmare / Red Velvet
The thing that swallowed us in the middle of the night Just nightmare nightmare It’s just a nightmare When the morning sunlight kisses you All nightmare nightmare It just disappears
TFW the baby brother you raised with your own two hands who turned his back on you as soon as he gained ultimate power dies in your fucking arms and you find out he pushed you away to protect you and then you accidentally rewrite the universe with your wish to go back in time and save him.
Icarus / ARTMS
Go closer to a dazzling new world Reborn again Ah ah ah I just wanna be unchained
ARTMS double feature about reconciling with your brother, awakening, and then realizing you can use your new powers to help him.
Virtual Angel / ARTMS
A secret story kept within myself An emotion such as love Something I can’t believe in yeah yeah I can’t cry at all right now I hold a superpower To avoid hurting myself
God when I realized I could do a one-two punch with this ARTMS combo I felt like a fucking genius.
Smart (English Version) / LE SSERAFFIM
Work hard in secret, like clockwork, tap-tap I get I planned that, don’t be mad Keep it on the low, No this time I won’t be the loser, loser (That loser)
The minute this song came out I cracked and started making this playlist, which shows you how long I've been working on this lol. I also didn't remember it had an English version until I was literally typing this sentence, but the lyrics actually fit a little better than the Korean version so it works out.
You Better Know / Red Velvet
You better know I draw each day following the bright light You better know There’s a world that’s been waiting for you as you are
THIS IS THEIR BEST SONG <- says this about every Red Velvet song
But FR this is THEE motivational song. I challenge you to listen to this and not feel like the person you love most in the world just told you they're proud of you.
Celebrity / IU
Don’t forget among the cloudy dark You’re a star painted with a left hand Can’t you see how beautiful A true uniqueness can be You are my celebrity
HIIIIII MYUNGWOO HIIIIIIII this is another one that I put on here immediately, I think it's so charming.
Glitch / Kwon Eunbi
Woo as if it’s a new thing The moves are surprising Imma wake you up in the morning Or middle of the night I’ll appear and disappear anywhere
"Might fuck around, might get kidnapped by human traffickers and then have them all killed, might break out of the high security apartment my brother bubble wrapped me in so I can go level grind. Depends on how the day goes."
Shooting Star / XG
Baby if I give it my all will it pay off Working overtime no days off All these shooting stars in the dark All these shooting stars in the dark Make a wish
"XG is Japanese" they promote on Korean music shows, it's good enough for me.
Debut / KATSEYE
I don’t need nobody tryna tell me how to run it Found myself some baddies bout to turn it to a hundred Uh huh, they like it, it’s simple as that That’s right uh huh, they like it, they keep coming back
"Katseye isn't Kpop they're international" see XG above. The fact that they're on colorcodedlyrics.com at all means I'm right.
Eenie Meenie / CHUNGHA ft. Hongjoong of Ateez
Watch me pick ‘em out like (like) eenie meenie Pick and choose like meenie minie Better know what you like I’ll make it easy Like eenie meenie minie moe
Could I have taken this out? Yes. But it would have decreased the cuntiness of this playlist by a factor of ten, which is unacceptable.
Drama / aespa
1, 2 It’s time to go I ignite (I shine bright) Feelin’ it, And I love it New game, new Rules I open my eyes (open my eyes) Game on, (you) know it (Now) It’s coming
Han Yoojin is cursed to cause drama everywhere he goes. I think if he spent a week doing nothing the sky would fall.
In The Morning (English Version) / ITZY
Oscar worthy, got you fooled Playing innocent but I’m a wolf You don’t have the faintest clue I been planning for a while, baby all systems are go
I'm pretty sure they wrote this song for this playlist. Do not quote me on that.
BIBI Vengeance / BIBI
It doesn’t matter what you did What you say ,what you regret I forgave you for breaking me down And treading on me Too bad you lost your last chance I’ve been waiting and anticipating To be a bad bitch
HAN YOOJIN BLACKMAILING THE HUNTER'S ASSOCIATION YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS
Vision / Dreamcatcher
Not for me With all this rage filling the sky The thunder strikes the world On top of the land you protected Raise your flag and fight again I can’t take it, I can’t hide any longer Forward march
Gotta throw in a song for gathering troops against the neverending wave of monsters that is destined to destroy the world.
First / EVERGLOW
Don’t be deceived by the lie That there is no light in this world, together we will Show them something they’ve never seen before, first Let them hear something they’ve never heard before, first Teach them something they’ve never known before, first
AND FINALLY A SONG FOR SEEING ULTRA-POWERFUL SUPERHUMANS WHO COULD SNAP YOU LIKE A TWIG AND KNOWING THEY ARE PEOPLE WHO NEED LOVE AND GUIDANCE. HAN YOOJIN THE MAN THAT YOU ARE.
If you got to the bottom of this list and realized that the only men here are (1) feature + XG's transmasc king Cocona, there's a very simple reason for that. And it's because I want to genderbend Han Yoojin so bad it makes me look stupid. Have a good day.
