The 10 Best K-Pop Tracks to Use as TikTok Sounds

TikTok is the go-to place to keep up with the latest dance trends, hottest songs, and viral videos—and that becomes even more true when it comes to K-pop tracks.

K-pop is a diverse genre with artists ranging from bubblegum pop to EDM to hip-hop and more. Often, artists even make these songs with the intent of creating a viral challenge for fans to partake in—and those that are good enough can often make their way outside of being used exclusively by fans.

As plentiful as catchy and danceable K-pop songs are, here are 10 tracks that stick out as the best to use as TikTok sounds.

Your mind may still be buffering thinking about how catchy the latest title track from NCT Dream is. Whether you're trying to match the group's "glitch" dance moves or are doing your own thing, you can't help but dance to the unique song.

3. 'Do It Like This' by P1Harmony

The boy band created their own dance challenge for fans to follow along, and the energy is infectious. The hip-hop-inspired track is something straight out of a Step Up movie, but we aren't complaining.

7. 'Dumb Dumb' by JEON SOMI
