Chord Sheets

[prerequisite knowledge: chord roman numeral notation (for ease of transposing + ID'ing function), some chord extensions]

[on roman numerals: I don't change the capitalization between major/minor keys, for consistency. Yes ik no one else does it and it makes communication harder boohoooooo. Think of the minor as a -1x function or whatever.]

Weki Meki - Dazzle Dazzle (2020) Chords

mixolydian horns in postchorus/intro move faster than quarter notes hence why it's notated strangely

SeeYa (씨야) - Shall We Marry? (결혼할까요) (2007) Chords

also final chorus (g major, +1 key change) fully sneaks in mendelssohn's wedding march (in c major). hur dur pop wedding song references classical wedding song but i think it's cute how it's so tucked in and not just right in the beginning and perhaps not so apparent bc it's a G major [F#dim7-B7-Em] and not a C major [F#dim7-B7-Em]

SeeYa (씨야) - Love's Greeting (사랑의 인사) (2007) Chords

Young Turks Club - Love Designer (1997) Chords

UP (유피) - Ppuyo Ppuyo (뿌요 뿌요) (1997) Chords

[E major] -> parallel [E minor] -> relative [G major]

Ji Suyeon - Bluescreen (2026) Chords

so the last chorus is dope as hell it's just the rhythm guitar playing (what i think are..) the triads and then this pitch swooping synth. i wrote it as IV bc it starts from C but yeah it's not rlly a chord. it's such a beautiful song where she's playing got-your-nose with the layers which reharmonizes thingsFAWWWWWKKKKKKKK

Seeya - A Woman's Scent (여인의 향기) (2006) Chords

[sseeyasaturday]

Dreamcatcher - Deja Vu (2019) Chords

Notes on the modulations:

1. [F min -> G# min] is a mediant modulation. [Db -> Eb -> E -> F#] is an easy walk-up .

2. G# min and F min share the chord of G# (mm well kind of. walk with me) or Ab. When the chorus does the -[ I - I▵] or [G#m - G#] (Picardy third I believe it's called), the song takes advantage of that common chord to move back down to the original key of F minor. yumyumyum
