Editor's note

AKMU, the sibling duo with a quiet voice

AKMU's songs feel like a conversation between two people who know each other too well.

If you want to get AKMU, listen to 'Mother To Daughter' and 'Time And Fallen Leaves'. That's the heart of it.

They write about family and growing up in a way that feels lived-in, not just observed. Songs like 'Mother To Daughter' and 'Last Goodbye (오랜 날 오랜 밤)' have a plainspoken honesty that sticks with you. Their music doesn't shout; it just sits there, waiting for you to listen.

They started as kids on a talent show, and their early songs had that youthful, acoustic feel. Over the years, the writing got a little heavier, a little more aware of time passing, but the core stayed the same.

Archive material and source history

AKMU first appeared on the reality show 'K-Pop Star 2' in 2012. The brother-sister duo of Lee Chan-hyuk and Lee Su-hyun stood out with their straightforward musical approach, which felt different from typical K-pop acts at the time.

Their debut single 'DINOSAUR' came out in 2014 and became a major hit. The song's quirky, folk-pop sound helped define their early style. They've since released other tracks like 'Fish In The Water' and 'Tictoc Tictoc Tictoc (feat. Beenzino)', showing a range from acoustic ballads to more produced pop.

Chan-hyuk faced a plagiarism lawsuit in 2016 that was eventually dismissed. Their music often has a personal, slightly offbeat quality that comes from writing their own material.
