Says the band, “The tracks we picked here are the songs that warm our hearts, the songs that we actually love. They inspire us and give us a chance to improve, for now, and for the future.” Listen to them all—including selections from Hot Sauce—and read each member’s thoughts on their selections below. MARK (#1-#8) “Each of these songs spurred me forward, to go further and deeper into immersing myself into music. I had a sense of duty, to be a force for good where I can. I think that the message of these songs was able to convey that, and it was reassuring to see hope spread, even to me.” RENJUN (#9-17) “I am sharing my actual bedtime playlist. The songs calm me, like being splashed by the serene moonlight, slipping into pleasant dreams. I hope sharing this helps people have sweet dreams! I hope everyone who listens to my playlist finds a way to realize their dreams, like the lyrics ‘Dreams are my reality.’” JENO (#18-#25) “I listen to these songs when I need a boost, or when I am winding down to go to sleep. They carried me with inspiration when I was practising and in training, and they remain as milestones on the way to reaching my dreams.” HAECHAN (#26-#33) “I have many fond memories of these songs, because they were there when my dream was first taking shape, and they are still here for me now, in the present. More specifically, these songs sparked a desire in me to sing and perform in a way that only I can.” JAEMIN (#34-#42) “These are bright and upbeat songs that feel like comforting sunshine—and there is just nothing to dislike about them. And also like warm familiar sunshine, don’t be surprised if it makes you doze away to a place of happy dreams.” CHENLE (#43-#51) “I find romantic vibes in songs attractive, so I chose this playlist based on sweetness—in lyrics, overall ambiance, or melody. Some of the songs are from my favourite films, and they always take me back to the unforgettably dreamy scenes that I loved.” JISUNG (#52-#59) “I selected seven songs that convey hope, either through the lyrics or the overall sound. Every time I listen to these songs, I am reminded to be a positive influence; to be a force for hope and encouragement.”
