AKMU, an acronym for Akdong Musician, is a South Korean musical duo consisting of siblings Lee Chan-hyuk and Lee Su-hyun. The duo first garnered national attention after winning the second installment of the reality television competition show "K-pop Star" in 2013. The pair were subsequently signed to YG Entertainment, one of South Korea's leading entertainment agencies, under which they released their debut album "PLAY" in 2014 to critical acclaim and commercial success.

Renowned for their delightful harmonies, lyrical storytelling, and genre-bending melodies, AKMU has solidified their place in the Korean music industry with multiple standout releases. Their discography showcases a seasonal pattern with albums such as "SPRING," "WINTER," and "SUMMER EPISODE," each reflecting a unique emotional palette tied to the respective times of year. The album "SAILING," and its accompanying concert tour live album "AKMU 'SAILING' TOUR LIVE," continued to showcase their growth and depth as artists. Their versatility is also evident in contributions to original television soundtracks, such as "Moonlovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo." In more recent work, their EP "NEXT EPISODE" is a creative project featuring a diverse range of collaborations, and singles like "HAPPENING" further confirm their status as innovative musicians capable of consistently reinventing their sound while maintaining their distinctive charm and heartfelt musicality.
