Akdong Musician (aka Akmu) is a duo consisting of siblings Lee Chan Hyuk and Lee Soo Hyun. They were the winners of K-Pop Star Season 2, and are currently signed under YG Entertainment. Chan Hyuk was born on September 12th, 1996, and Soo Hyun was born on May 4, 1999 (wow I didn’t know she was this young :o) I think I was so excited for their debut because they had shown such promising things in the auditions. 😀 Let’s go right ahead and start talking about this release!

Song: I absolutely love it! 😀 It was a great song to showcase their unique music style, and I think that’s what makes it even more impressive. By the way, I’m totally mesmerized by Soo Hyun’s voice! :O I’m amazed every time I listen to her. It’s such a pure, clean sound, you know? (Hopefully someone agrees with me haha) They’re both very talented (that was quite evident in K-Pop Star 2) and it definitely shows through in the song too. Love love love the chorus part (seriously, so catchy), and I like the creative lyrics too. :3 I love the quirkiness of the song and, like their other performances on the show, the blend between their voices.  I appreciated how different it was and how they successfully conveyed their own style in an awesome song. Overall I’m very happy with it and am very much impressed. 

Music Video: As much as I loved this song, I loved this video too! When I first watched it, I was thinking to myself “That guy is really cute! Soo Hyun is cute! They look cute together! This is cute!” and then there was that plot twist (which I really wasn’t expecting) and then I just felt bad when it happened :(… Haha, but I really liked the video because of that plot twist because it made the video so much more interesting (although it was already nice to begin with). I loved the revelation of each scene, from how she wants it to be, to how it really is, by using the unfolding transition! Super cool! 😀 Also, it has lots of beautiful scenes and shots. It’s a very fun, cute, quirky video, like the song, and it’s very entertaining to watch 😀 I love the sibling playfulness they have in the video too hehe

Overall, I loved the song and the video, and am very happy with Akmu’s debut! They did not disappoint, and for that, I am glad. :3 Hehe what are your opinions? Definitely let me know in the comments! 

Also, check out this live performance of theirs on K-Pop Star 3! I had chills even just at the beginning of the song. It’s amazing. 😮 

By the way guys, on a totally unrelated note, I met Jinwoon from 2AM today!! :O And I even took a picture with him! Although I may sound calm about it in this post, yes I still am freaking out about it, and it definitely made my day (more like month) hehe but anyways, enough with the rambling, thanks so much for reading and checking out my blog! I really do appreciate it. I hope you all have a fantastic week! ❤ 

P.S. Reserved for tomorrow’s Talking about: BTS. 😉

Hugs from your fellow K-Popper! 🙂
