AKMU, also known as Akdong Musician, is a South Korean duo consisting of siblings Lee Chan-hyuk and Lee Su-hyun. Propelling to national stardom through the second installation of K-pop Star (2012-2013), the brother-sister duo officially debuted under YG Entertainment in April 2014 with the studio album Play (2014), at the ages of seventeen and fourteen, respectively. With this album, the duo topped multiple music charts and proved to be capable singer-songwriters appealing both to the public and critics by winning multiple awards including Gaon Chart Music Awards and Korean Music Awards.
The duo continued their active musical career by releasing 'Spring' & 'Winter' series, and 'Summer Episode'. With "How can I love the heartbreak, you're the one I love", the title track of their 3rd studio album 'Sailing', AKMU reached their peak achievements by topping the charts for a month. Through 'Next Episod', their first collaboration album under the theme of "Beyond Freedom", the duo gained praise for significantly widening their musical spectrum.
Now in 2023, AKMU is back with their 4th Single 'Love Lee'. With just two tracks 'Love Lee' filled with fresh and bright energy and "Fry's Dream" containing a message of empathy and comfort, AKMU presents an album - just like its title - which is a "lovely gift" for all listeners and proved their unique strength as a music duo.
Inclusive among the prominent figures of South Korea, they have received numerous accolades and the honorific title "The Nation's Siblings" in their home country and are often cited as "musical prodigies" and "genius singer-songwriters," among others. With AKMU's astonishing musical journey, which has never been afraid of new challenges, the world now looks forward to the next step of the duo's work.
