AKMU – ‘Love Lee’ M/V

The sibling duo AKMU, consisting of Lee Chanhyuk and Lee Suhyun, released “Love Lee” in 2023.

The song has become a global sensation through TikTok dance and choreography videos.

It features a pop melody highlighted by soft, airy synth tones.

The chorus, articulated one character at a time, lingers in the ear and matches the title, which cleverly combines a word expressing affection with their family name.

This is K-pop full of charm, including their engaging male–female twin-vocal style that feels like a conversation.

Akdong Musician(AKMU) – GIVE LOVE M/V

AKMU is a Korean duo made up of real-life siblings.

Among their songs, this piece stands out for its unique perspective inspired by a smartphone game.

It captures the frustration of unrequited love—when the person you like just won’t notice you—through a lively rhythm and an approachable melody.

Many listeners may find the persistent, undaunted approach overlapping with bittersweet memories of their youth.

Included on their debut album PLAY, released in April 2014, it also drew attention for its music video filmed in Okinawa.

Emerging after their success on the SBS program K-POP STAR, this track can be considered a cornerstone of their beginnings.

Give it a listen when you need courage to dive into a new environment.

물 만난 물고기(Fish in the water)AKMU (Akdong Musician)4rank/position

AKMU – ‘물 만난 물고기(Fish in the water)’ Lyric Video

A song that soothes the heart when you listen to it.

Using the sea as a motif, it portrays the shifting emotions of a broken heart.

It’s hard to classify it as a love song, but the melody is gentle and refreshing.

The lover who drifted away from me became the sea.

Having become the sea, they are now out of reach, and the song quietly accepts that.

Rather than being emotional, it calmly reflects on the heart, which is beautiful.

달 (Moon)

A track from the sibling pop duo AKMU’s 2019 album “SAILING.” The song layers feelings for a former lover onto the image of the moon, and its lyrics beautifully intertwine seasons, scenery, and emotion, evoking a deep sense of melancholy.

At the same time, it carries a soothing, comforting mood that’s very appealing.

It’s a song you’ll want to listen to slowly at night, especially when you’re feeling lonely.

어떻게 이별까지 사랑하겠어, 널 사랑하는 거지(How can I love the heartbreak, you`re the one I love)AKMU (Akdong Musician)7rank/position

AKMU – ‘어떻게 이별까지 사랑하겠어, 널 사랑하는 거지(How can I love the heartbreak, you`re the one I love)’ M/V

The title track of the 2019 album “SAILING.” It’s a beautiful ballad with a gently penetrating melody and the exquisite harmony of Chanhyuk and Suhyun.

I think it carries various meanings of parting, but it also quietly stays close to the feeling of heartbreak.

The title means “To be able to love even until the farewell—that’s what it means to love you,” and the lyrics are carefully woven.

Listening to this song brings me to tears, grateful that I met someone who made me feel this way.

A warm, ocean-deep piece.
