7 Fantasy-Themed K-Pop Music Videos To Take You To Another World

While immaculate choreography and cool costumes are essential parts of any good K-pop music video, sometimes what you just need is a good ride to fantasy land! With magical visuals, creative storylines, and fantasy worlds unlike any you’ve ever known, here are some K-pop music videos that will bring you somewhere else for a little while.

TXT – “Blue Hour”

With a literal jump from a carnival into a magical land where birds carry jackets and squirrels wear sweaters, TXT’s “Blue Hour” not only has a fantastical music video, but it has the energetic, bright song to go with it! A TXT classic, there’s never a bad time for “Blue Hour.”

Red Velvet – “Cosmic”

With a name like “Cosmic,” it’s probably not surprising that this Red Velvet music video has a fantasy theme—but here, not all is as it seems! Despite the beautiful visuals and flowery dresses, there’s a darkness lurking underneath that’ll keep you hooked on this fantasy world.

ATEEZ – “ILLUSION”

Taking place on a pirate ship in the sky, this music video is perfectly suited to a song like “ILLUSION”! With a surprisingly peppy, light sound that might sound at odds with ATEEZ’s more recent releases, this music video is like a breath of fresh air. It’s certainly fantastical!

TWICE – “What Is Love?”

The ultimate fantasy ride, this music video brings every classic romance movie into one! The TWICE members each get to star in their own versions of films like “La La Land” and “Romeo and Juliet.” Isn’t being the lead in a romance the biggest fantasy? The members bring it to life!

SEVENTEEN – “God of Music”

A bit more about finding the magic in the mundane, there’s definitely still an element of fantasy to SEVENTEEN’s “God of Music”—after all, it’s not every day you see a donkey as a DJ! Still, this song is a great reminder of the transformative power of music and how important it is to make your own life feel fantastic.

FIFTY FIFTY – “SOS”

Looking like an urban fairytale come to life, the visuals in FIFTY FIFTY’s music video “SOS” are unbeatable. With beautiful dresses, sparkly makeup, and just the right touch of special effects, these regular settings become magical. Plus, the song is perfect easy-listening material.

BTS – “IDOL”

It’s certainly a fantasy land of some kind–one that combines traditional Korean attire with neon colors, Snapchat filters, and some of the coolest animations ever! BTS’s “IDOL” is a hit song for a reason, and this music video makes it all the more memorable. You can watch it 10 times and still find new details!
