Below this post, Korean netizens have nominated more songs that match the moods of those in a one-sided love. In particular, many people think that this topic is made for Lovelyz, because the girl group from Woollim Entertainment owns a lot of songs with meaningful and profound lyrics about unrequited love:

"Aren't Lovelyz's songs the best when it comes to one-sided love? In Woollim, INFINITE is always dumped, Lovelyz always has unrequited love, and Golden Child is obsessed with love. I hope everyone's love will come true after listening to these songs about unrequited love. Please listen to 'Love Game', 'Hi~', "Sweet and Sour', 'Heart', 'Aya'... As for desperate unrequited love … among Lovelyz's ballads there are 3 very good songs 'Shooting Star', 'Circle' and 'Bookmark'."
"That song 'Now, We'"is the best."
"Please look to Lovelyz's music …. Their lyrics are really artistic. If you has an unrequited love, you will cry when listening to their songs."
