K-pop artists have always stayed ahead of the times in discussing mental health issues through their music. Certain artists have even shared their own experiences with depression and anxiety, which takes a lot of courage to do.

The following four K-pop songs discuss mental health through beautiful lyrics and touching music.

"Breathe" by Lee Hi

It's alright if you run out of breath
No one will blame you
It's OK to make mistakes sometimes
Because anyone can do so
Although saying "It's alright" is comforting
They're just words

"Wake Me Up" by B.A.P

Putting back together
The messy puzzle pieces in this game
Wake me up, wake me up
I believe in myself right now

"Borders" by Amber Liu

Cause Mom said I'd be crossing borders
Never be afraid even when you're cornered
Stand up straight, fight your way
Fight your way, fight your way

 "The Last" by Suga of BTS aka Agust D

I've exchanged my youth for success
And that monster demands more wealth
At times, it puts a collar on my neck
To ruin and swallow me with greed
