AKMU & REAL_PCY (#thestruggles)

Ayo, peeps.

Today I have a question. (lol the only reason i ever post a blog is to talk about exo ask questions).

I'm sure some of you know my preferred genres of music are Acoustic Arrangements and urban R&B.

I could go on a complete tangent about this, but I'll refrain because I need to catch up on EXO’s firstbox.

So...

Does anyone know of AKMU?

I ADORE their sound. It's light, refreshing, and moving. They're talented, and they're so young!

If you don't know Akmu, I guess I can splurge a bit and talk about them xD

Akmu actually stands for Akdong Musician (악동뮤지션). They’re a brother-sister duo; the boy’s name is Lee Chan-hyuk (이찬혁), and the girl’s name is  Lee Soo-hyun (이수현).

Chanhyuk is only seventeen years old (born on Sept. 12/96), and he’s the lyricist, composer, and arranger of the group. He plays the guitar (really, really well). He has a unique way of arranging his songs too, it’s just incredible the talent that seeps from him. Legit. Blows my mind.

Soohyun is only fourteen. Let me repeat that, fourteen (born on May 4/99). And she is the main vocalist. And man is she incredible.

I AM IN DENIAL.

NOBODY THAT YOUNG CAN BE AS PERFECT AS HER.

Her voice is magical lol. And she has a really weird inflexion when she speaks (even in Korean). So much so that I thought she might have been a foreigner or something. But I think it’s just a dialect, like when you speak in a Busan accent xD

I think they were finalists on K-Pop star 2, weren’t they? I wouldn’t know lol I don’t watch the show.

Interesting fact: they apparently lived in Mongolia with their parents for 2 years before moving back to Korea.

And they both have pretty awesome English pronounciation. (I think it's because they're still in school xD).

But yeah.

I said all that to say this, it looks like they don’t have a very large fanbase. I’m just wondering if anyone else enjoys their stuff like I do (especially being an international fan #thestruggles)

My favourite song by them is 얼음들 (Melted) ^^

">

The entire thing was shot in my country!

To be honest, I didn't realize this until I saw the guy paying for his stuff. Full of toonies lmfao.

And I really appreciate the message of the song. It's beautiful.

For a KPOP video, it doesn't have that KPOP feel. It showed off human diversity--the pain and suffering of each individual...the desire to come into your own in a meaningful way, and to be understood and accepted by others. This has got to be one of the best videos YG has put out. I applaud it 100 %.

Not to mention the lead is a cutie patootie.

and he’s only following Kris lmfao.

i see you’re biased, Chanyerr.

he doesn’t have anything posted, and has 259K(+) followers.

It must be L.O.V.E because I LOVE AKMU! They are the cutest things on the planet at the moment, lol. Their music is just amazing and they are so talented to be so young, I'm jealous. Well, I seriously hope they continue to do well, and I think that they have a pretty big fanbase already -- their music videos hit 1 million really quickly, in like less than a week (maybe it's just a bunch of curious peeps?). I need to get their album before the year is over -- it's like my goal for 2014, haha. So poor :/ Anyhow...oh, and I lmao too when I saw that Chanyeol was only following Kris, hahaha
mayfair

Omg you like AKMU too? Arwn't they super duper talented. Like really, who could be as talented?
I saw their clips from Kpop Star 2 and they were the best. You should check it out. (did you know they camein first place) And the second place winner was also pretty good. It was Bang Yedam, age 12 (i think). He also signed with YG. Him, AKMU and LeeHi are known as the maknaes of yg.

My favorite song by them is also Melted. When i first heard the song i was so in love with it that i replayed it at least 1,000+ times.
