FUNFACTS : AKMU donated all their 3M prized money from kpopstar to charity, their reason? they said they only want to have food to eat, buy clothes and shoes they like thats why they join the contest. And they already recieved those so they want to share the money to others who needes it the most...
You definitely need to do a part 2 for AKMU cuz they have soooooo *MANY* more good songs for eg • Re-Bye • Happening • Melted (which has a very deep meaning) • How can I love the heartbreak … • Suhyun’s solo Alien • Everest Etc etc etc Literally anything they release is a bop 🎉😭❤❤
For insight Dinosaur is about the struggles they went through as a family. They weren’t privileged so they dealt with a lot of people coming to their house to get money from their parents hence the dinosaurs which were the bad people that came to their house.
Dinosaur used to be my feel good music and after reading this I don't think I'll feel good listening to it again. I guess I'll cry everytime I'll listen to it.
Actually they said people interpreted like this but they never had people coming after money in their house or something 😅 th-cam.com/video/7Q_lpANegT0/w-d-xo.html they talk about it in this video I linked. Timestamp ~9:50
Btw for Give Love, when Suhyun reads the girl’s texts she realizes the boy is the girl’s brother not her boyfriend due to his name in her phone. Then it shows that, when Suhyun wasn’t looking, the were acting more like siblings than a couple. So in the end Suhyun makes her move
Caitlin, I can't thank you enough for this dive into AKMU's music They are artists to their core and true to their name, Akdong Musician which means musician for children, writing about the journey of life with a whimsical lens that matured over the years They were the first Kpop discography that I downloaded and listened to all the time in 2014 after they won Kpop star 2, and have dropped nothing but quality music since
AKMU is not that big globally in the kpop scene but they are super huge in korea, AKMU IU, and other ballad trot singers are the ones doninating the charts there. So glad youre discovering them rn ❤ personal faves are Melting, Time and Fallen Leaves, and How Can I Love the Heartbreak tho you can check them out on your personal time when you want. Have a great day!
Finally AKMU!! I think ppl tend to forget that AKMU has been a part of YGE since 2013/2014. They are not typical YGE style, but at the same time their storytelling and FRESH music is also very YGE too despite being different from other YGE groups. Chanhyuk literally is a genius composer! My goodness the diverse genres that this guy produces is just INSANNEEE! Ohh so Caitlin, you watched their debut MVs backwards LOL! You were supposed to watch “200%” first and then “Give Love” was the continuation. But yeah Suhyun became infatuated with the guy (who is popular actor Nam Joo Hyuk, who at that time was just a YGE model not actor yet). Throughout 200% she’s living in her own world where it’s just her and the guy, but in reality the girl was there the whole time. Fast forward to Give Love, she befriends the girl to get closer to the guy..kind of competing for his attention. In the end, she finds out through the girl’s phone and text with the guy is that they are actually siblings..not a couple. Then you see their sibling energy (the hard pushing/teasing). Suhyun is relieved and makes her move on the guy, while Chanhyuk shows interests in the guy’s sister. 😂 Yep! Suhyun has a solo and Chanhyuk just had his solo debut and released a full solo album too. You can check it out on your free time. But yeah that is AKMU for you, they’re very well known, loved, and respected in SKOREA. Totally underrated internationally though, but again YGE doesn’t really promote them overseas/internationally. 😆
@@caitlinbensonn hahaha!!😂 I love that when you're not sure about it you try to look it up for clarification. It's crazy that they have Bobby featuring this song and him and Jisoo acting on it!
Thank you for reacting to AKMU!!! As a fan of AKMU, I really enjoyed your reaction and am glad you appreciate them! They are a breathe of fresh air in YG. :D Let me provide you some notes/clarifications on the MVs: The events of 200% MV happened before Give Love MV - In 200%, Suhyun was infuated with the guy unfortunately she got friendzoned. During the whole MV, Suhyun pretends to be the guy's girlfriend and temporarily forgets the girl in the scene. In Give Love, Suhyun plays the 3rd wheel, basically tagging along to the two wherever they go. The song/MV is basically asking to give them (akmu) love. In the end, Suhyun founds out that the girlfriend is actually the guy's sister. Chanyuk follows the girl at the end, the same manner as suhyun was. Dinosaur MV - it is about Chanhyuk's dream that a dinosaur wrecked their home. However, there is a theory that the dinosaur symbolizes the tax collectors that would go and make noise in their house every night when they lived in mongolia (they live there till kpop star). Dinosaur is rarely performed because the chorus is even difficult for suhyun to sing. Nevertheless, she can sing it live. Nakka MV - IU wasn't in the MV. :( Nakka meant Fall - it was more about promising to always be at the side of someone who is going through a hard time. In the MV, they say that if look at a different angle, falling down seems to be falling up. :))) Nakka Mv is somewhat connected to the other MVs in the Next Episode Album. (they made MVs for all of the songs in the album) Hope you can check out akmu's ballads - How Can I Love The Heartbreak, You're The One I Love, Melted, battlefield, and Last Goodbye are top tiers!!!
Also a big AKMU fan. Think you meant Mongolia... think your spellcheck corrected it to Magnolia !!! Kekw Yes Akmu' ballads are very well crafted and produced. I also love all Suhyun solo work including the BeginAgain shows. One of my favourite ever songs is her version of "If I Leave".. its haunting...
One of the most talented siblings!!! I love their songs 🥺 thank you for this Caitlin. Btw my favorite song from them is HOW CAN I LOVE THE HEARTBREAK (the title says it all, its totally heart breaking but so so beautiful) i hope you enjoy more of their music!
Hello Caitlin, the girl singing with Suhyun in "I'm Different" is Lee Hi, one of the most crazy voice of Korea. She was also a YG artist until 2019 but I'm not sure you included her in your label view
Lee hi is great she has a rnb jazzy soul vibe with great vocals. I recommend Only. She has 3 songs with B.i and they are all soo good. As for AKMU I recommend How Can I love the heartbreak you're the one I love, and Hey kid close your eyes. Those songs are stunning. Their solo stuff is fun as well
They have a interesting back story and childhood. Among others, grew up poor, partially in Mongolia, home-schooled, etc.. which may explain how you end up forming a band with your brother/sister
on give love and 200% the other girl isn't the guy's girlfriend but his sister 😂 the right order to watch the MV is 200% first and then Give Love, on the end of Give Love, Suhyun found out that the guy he likes and the other girl are siblings (just a fact the guy playing on both give love and 200% is Nam Joohyuk an actor under YG, but left the entertainment long ago) thank you so much for this reaction! AKMU never realease bad songs
Chanhyuk is even FUNNIER now! 😂😂 The videos he post in his TH-cam lmaoooo.. Also I think he have a live performance while he is literally getting a haircut 😂😂
FR, he's a meme now. And I was supposed to almost cry with Caitlin at the dinosaur mv but the Dinosaur ver2 just keeps playing in my head 🥲. Dinosaur dinosaur daynosoooowr D I N O S A U R, i can't unhear it 😭
if you ever want to react/listen to them again, I can highly recommend: Melted Hey Kid, close your eyes and honestly all of the new Collaboration Album that one was mindchanging for me. Also they sang Nakka with IU on IUs Palette which is beautiful! And Chanhyuks solo Panorama is great to. I feel like he has evolved a lot musically in revent years and I‘m loving their new sound and especially their „darker“ songs!
Suhyun has one of the most amazing, cleanest, and clearest voices I have ever heard. Her voice has a character of its own and it gives so much color to whatever song she's singing. And Chanhyuk is without a doubt such a great songwriter, and producer. He knows best how to use their voices to make a masterpiece. They truly are musicians. Them singing together sound so magical. I guess it's the blood relationship they have with each other that makes their performances so unexplainably marvelous. Thank you so much for reacting to them ❤️ I hope you can also watch them in Knowing Brothers where they were asked to make songs on the spot just from the pages of the books randomly lying around the set of that show. It was mind-blowing!
ohmygooood I’m not sure if LeeHi is in your lineup too, but if not I hope you can check her out in AOMG label views since she’s there now, she’s labelmates now with Youngjae of Got7 and other Khiphop artists
AKMU just produces healing music, I just love love them, their music is top quality, lyrics....you sometimes have to scratch your head because of all the metaphors...all their albums are hits!! they are hilarious in interviews....
I love that you gave akmu a chance, suhyun is my favorite singer, she's is on another level, akmu is worth a look into just for a listening to good music everyday kinda thing
As someone who listens a lot of different kpop artists, I love how you try to discover different artists, and sometimes i discover them with you too!! Also thanks to you whenever i watch your videos i release my stress and enjoy my time, hope it's the same for you too 💙💙
Others have explained some of the MVs in other comments so I'll just tack on some more info about AKMU! Chanhyuk is extremely respected in SK as a musician, a soldier, and an author. He enlisted relatively early into their career voluntarily into the Marine Corps and is a senior in that branch to others like SHINee's Minho, U-Kiss's Hoon, and Infinite's Myungsoo. As for being an author, during the album prep for 'Sailing' (2019), their A&R asked him to write the backstory/process for the songs and what went through his head while writing/producing and it became so involved that he decided to just make it into a full-fledged connected novel that ended up being a best-seller of 2019! Immensely talented man & of course we can't forget how talented Suhyun is as well! Def hope you can react to them more in the future whenever you can manage to get them in eventually, we know you're busy and grinding away girl! This reaction to them was such a nice treat, especially seeing you enjoying them so much! Also def need to add in the promo for Lee Hi (other half of Hi Suhyun from the first MV) if you haven't already planned her for your (former) YG lineup -- woman has such a unique identifiable voice & has put out great hits and collabs over the years.
Great music from great talents! I am a Dinosaur enthusiast. I remembered when Dinosaur MV teasers came out - I seriously wondered what the heck they're going to sing about. Then when I watched the MV and read the lyrics - I was bawling. The bridge of this song is perfection. There were many "theories" on what the song is about - but I think it can be interpreted in any way. Which makes it more beautiful and brilliant. It's really one of my favorite songs ever. Thank you for this AKMU reaction.💕
I just started the video but I JUST NEED to comment first! because! OMG??????!!! I never expected to see AKMU on your channel!!! They are like one of the most talented duo in the universe!! I'm SO excited!!!! AND!!! NAKKA!!! WITH IU!!!!
omg more AKMU pleeeeeese they are the best duo on the planet my favorite songs are melted, whale , re-bye , chocolady, chantey , freedom AKMU IS THE FIRE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Because of this video I am encouraged to listen to their recent album and chanhyuk's solo and just WOW. They are just musical geniuses. Thank you Caitlin!
Akmu are soooo naturally talented 😭Lee Su Hyuns vocals are crazy good live too. Not offended at all with the Mamamoo comparison bc they're both great live and their retro/jazz vibes are perfection. I'm a moomoo but I stan talent so ofc Akmu gotta be in there!! Lol Some other names from that Kpop star show: Lee Hi Lily - Nmixx Bang Yedam - former Treasure Chaeryeong - Itzy Chaeyeon - former iz*one now solo And many more but I remember watching them on Kpop Star and they were just Itty bitty babies. Theyve all come far 🥲
it's nice to see their growth when they sing those old songs as adults now. their song melted sounds really different from their performance when they were kids to when they performed it again a year or so ago. lee hi and suhyun also performed i'm different again a couple of years ago and it was great to see how they've grown up to be such talented women
caitlin!! im so so glad you checked out akmu! i've been a fan of them since debut and they are TRUE musical prodigies! they're so loved in south korea and it's no wonder because they're so incredibly talented. this video was a treat, thanks so much for your hard work
Actually 200% goes first then Give Love ~ lol its a continuation of the previous MV.. Actually in "200%" suhyun had a crush on Nam Joo Hyuk (The actor on the MV) .. and she thought he was dating the actress on the MV.. then on the "Give Love" MV she kept being the third wheel .. then around the end she saw the Actress' phone and found out that Nam Joo Hyuk and the Girl actress were siblings.. That's why she was super happy ... and around the end Chanhyuk ends up doing what his sister is doing, now going after the girl Actress 😂
I love the fact that you asked "is it the same group???" while listening to NAKKA, and you're right. NAKKA was released after Chanhyuk's enlistment, while the rest of the songs before it. So it makes sense that their sound changed and matured A LOT after he returned back from enlistment. He talked about how it influenced him. 'Sailing' - the album released after he returned, is still one of my very favourite albums of aaaaaall artists I know.
yay, so glad you reacted to their videos, love AKMU since Kpop star. if anybody reading this is also new to akmu - you should totally watch their audition video, the entire audience fell in love with them straight away. also, more recently, since chanhyuk got released from the military, they went to the show knowing brother and literally wrote songs on the spot based on random book pages. the talent they have is unreal
MY CHILDREN! Their music is always top tier. I don't know if someone already explained, but Dinosaur talks about when they were children and debt collectors came to their house to break everything or something like that...
That's actually just a fan theory and they said it's not true 😂 th-cam.com/video/7Q_lpANegT0/w-d-xo.html they talk about it in this some time after singing Dinosaur
As an AKMU fan since 2016 ( I will flex) I am so happy to see people still reacting to AKMU. If u ever want to react/listen to more in ur own time, I would recommend Around, Play Ugly, Hey kid close your eyes, Melted, re bye and how people move.
every akmu song is very good, i even like all the albums, but there are some songs that i always play when i'm happy or sad, those songs are last goodbye, how can i love the heartbreak and little star. I hope you will listen to these 3 songs one day, thank you ❤
Akmu is another korean group/duo that sounds so much better live. I hope you dive into them because they have SO songs that I know you'll love like Happening and Melted. Omg definitely Melted. I bet you'll cry.
not sure if you have figured out the meaning behind Dinosaur by now but it's a term that koreans use to refer to dept collectors. their familiy struggled a lot financially when they were kids and obviously these people weren't the nicest. So this is what the song is about.
OH MY GOOOOD I LOVE AKMU! In fact, they're the reason why I'm interested in K-Artists in the first place. My friend rec them to me back in 2017 and I've been a fan ever since. I think they're still underappreciated especially outside of South Korea. Both are amazing performers. Suhyun is one of the best voice of Korean female singer in my opinion and Chanhyuk is literally a genius composer. They have great lyrics and NOT EVEN ONE BAD SONG. They sit on a table together with BTS (my utl group) as highly talented and artistic artists in my vocabulary!
I'm still not done watching but I'm so so happy you finally know about AKMU!! And I know you have a lot on your plate right now but I hope in the future you can listen to more of their songs because their music is literally top tier!! With Chanhyuk's genius mind and Suhyun's amazing voice a perfect song will always come out so I hope you can have time in the future to check them out again!!
OMG im so happy that you reacting this DUO TALENTED SIBLING. If im not mistaken, i've read at somewhere, dinosaur is a song that describe their childhood frequented by rude debt collectors. So the dinosaur means debt collectors itself. And i recommend to you some of their songs who is also masterpiece like Melted; How can I love the heartbreak, you’re the one I love; Re-Bye. Thank u
love that your reacting to AKMU, they really are such a talented duo. my favourite song by them is Dinosaur and How can I love the Heartbreak, hopefully when or if you get back round to Akmu you can listen to this. i think you'd love it.
I haven’t actively went out of my way to listen to them. I listened to Alien and enjoyed that. Just watching this made me wanna download their albums. Thank you for checking them out! I enjoy their sound so much and i didn’t even know 😭
If you've been into kpop for years, you might not know them but you surely heard their songs. Same as me, i just discovered and dive deeper to their music because Rosé and Suhyun were both in the Sea of Hope 😭😭
there's an idea for Dinosaur, that the song tells of their childhood memories when creditors were lashing out at their homes (basement villa is usually the lowest level of a house that gets rented out for cheap), and because they were kids, the shouting was like a dinosaur :") hit me RIGHT IN THE HEART
Omg I had a huge AKMU phase like five years ago and seeing you react to them reminds me once again just how amazing their music. They’re such great musicians and I genuinely think they can’t have a bad song.
Chanhyuk is an absolute musical genius- his songs are so fresh, and the lyrics he writes are often so heartfelt. Dinosaur is one of those songs I found myself crying while listening to it. I’m so happy you’ve discovered AKMU and their amazing talent. ❤
they're right up in the alley with IU, BOL4 when it comes to coffee shops playing their music. the general public knows them rather than having super big fanbases. their streams are waaaay up there
I didn't even know "I'm Different" was a duo song when I first heard it. I was vibin' out so much to it when Lee Hi performed it on her Killing Voice that I probably had stopped reading the song info on the screen. 😂
My favourite songs from AKMU in no particular order are 1. Give love 2. 200% 3. Melted 4. How can i love the heartbreak 5. Whale 6. Time and fallen leaves 7. Will last forever 8. Chantey 9. Re-bye
Ah i forgot, i really like Re-Bye too.. And i haven't heard their newest song btw.. but i've liked them since they still at kpopstar. Oh i forgot the name of the show coz its been a long time
1:56 disclaimers
I’m seeing some comments so for those who didn’t at least listen to the disclaimer before commenting here’s the timestamp! 💕
They have amazing sad song and u will cry pls check it out ❤
My favourite are Melted, Dinosaurus, Choco Lady, and Will Last Forever❤
18:04 missing yg fam collabs 🫶🏻
25:17 at this part she finds out their siblings not lovers 😂
If you wanna know. The "dinosaur" was a debtcollector who came to their house when they were kids
Akmu songs are those songs when you want your own personal time/space you can close your eyes and listen to them ❤
This is so accurate
THIS
Like Hey kid close your eyes 🤔🥰
That is so truuu!!
Truee!!!
I feel like this will be the only episode where I truly wish you had a part 2 for because AKMU’s discography is something you really need to hear 😭
they're whole Sailing album literally heals my soul every time I'm having a bad day 🥹
Omg yes they have such a large discovery I hope she checks it a bit more.
@@troubIe yess the songs on Sailing album are cup of tea.. they really good
Yessss... I love melted.. there need to have part 2 & 3...
Omg, YES! Please girl, do a part II. THEY ARE SO TALENTED
FUNFACTS : AKMU donated all their 3M prized money from kpopstar to charity, their reason? they said they only want to have food to eat, buy clothes and shoes they like thats why they join the contest. And they already recieved those so they want to share the money to others who needes it the most...
Good info. It was actually 300,000,000₩ which is almost $300k
You definitely need to do a part 2 for AKMU cuz they have soooooo *MANY* more good songs for eg
• Re-Bye
• Happening
• Melted (which has a very deep meaning)
• How can I love the heartbreak …
• Suhyun’s solo Alien
• Everest
Etc etc etc
Literally anything they release is a bop 🎉😭❤❤
Amen
up
Yes for these songs, especially happening, how can i love the heartbreak, and everest
AKMU is the one group where if someone asks for a recommendation, I can actually just say "choose ANY AKMU song".
@@arjo5513 💯😍
For insight Dinosaur is about the struggles they went through as a family. They weren’t privileged so they dealt with a lot of people coming to their house to get money from their parents hence the dinosaurs which were the bad people that came to their house.
Totally recommend all their albums they’re BANGERS, whenever you have time ofc.
초기에는 그런 해석이 주류였으나, 오피셜로는 그냥 어릴 적 꾼 꿈에 무서운 '공룡'이 나왔다. 입니다
Dinosaur used to be my feel good music and after reading this I don't think I'll feel good listening to it again. I guess I'll cry everytime I'll listen to it.

Digimon indeed
Fighting for AKMU
🎉🎉🎉
Chanhyuk is a genius. My first foray into KPOP is 200% so I have really soft spot for AKMU. Plus Suhyun voice is out of this world.
Oh, I'm similar! My first kpop experience was Sam Kim's "No Sense," then it was AKMU's "200%" & "Re-Bye". They will always have room on my playlists.
Lovely ❤
Akmu's "How can I love the breakup you are the one I love" is the most beautiful sad song I've ever heard in my life

yess I too suffered a small heartbreak when I saw it wasn't included in this video
I am loving The Label View content.
This is a top tier series caitlin so excited for each episode
Wow I've never listened to Akmu but I've fallen in love after this video. The live version of Dinosaur gave me chills
U should check their discography
Hello Caitlin, the girl singing with Suhyun in "I'm Different" is Lee Hi, one of the most crazy voice of Korea. She was also a YG artist until 2019 but I'm not sure you included her in your label view
Lee hi is great she has a rnb jazzy soul vibe with great vocals. I recommend Only. She has 3 songs with B.i and they are all soo good. As for AKMU I recommend How Can I love the heartbreak you're the one I love, and Hey kid close your eyes. Those songs are stunning. Their solo stuff is fun as well

Melted
Hey Kid, close your eyes

I feel like he has evolved a lot musically in revent years and I‘m loving their new sound and especially their „darker“ songs!
I love melted 😭
Suhyun is one of my favorite voices in kpop. She's really good!
She's too precious

Thank you for this! Akmu is so underrated by international kpop fans (although they are popular in Korea)
AKMU just produces healing music, I just love love them, their music is top quality, lyrics....you sometimes have to scratch your head because of all the metaphors...all their albums are hits!! they are hilarious in interviews....
I love that you gave akmu a chance, suhyun is my favorite singer, she's is on another level, akmu is worth a look into just for a listening to good music everyday kinda thing
Thanks for introducing these artists to me. Just added to my Spotify 😊
As someone who listens a lot of different kpop artists, I love how you try to discover different artists, and sometimes i discover them with you too!! Also thanks to you whenever i watch your videos i release my stress and enjoy my time, hope it's the same for you too 💙💙
AKMU siblings have the golden voice n they're so talented!
finally an AKMU reaction 🥹 thanks for giving them a listen
Akmu song's How Can I Love The Heartbreak is masterpiece, you must hear it🙌🏻
Others have explained some of the MVs in other comments so I'll just tack on some more info about AKMU!
Chanhyuk is extremely respected in SK as a musician, a soldier, and an author. He enlisted relatively early into their career voluntarily into the Marine Corps and is a senior in that branch to others like SHINee's Minho, U-Kiss's Hoon, and Infinite's Myungsoo. As for being an author, during the album prep for 'Sailing' (2019), their A&R asked him to write the backstory/process for the songs and what went through his head while writing/producing and it became so involved that he decided to just make it into a full-fledged connected novel that ended up being a best-seller of 2019! Immensely talented man & of course we can't forget how talented Suhyun is as well!
Def hope you can react to them more in the future whenever you can manage to get them in eventually, we know you're busy and grinding away girl! This reaction to them was such a nice treat, especially seeing you enjoying them so much!
Also def need to add in the promo for Lee Hi (other half of Hi Suhyun from the first MV) if you haven't already planned her for your (former) YG lineup -- woman has such a unique identifiable voice & has put out great hits and collabs over the years.
My personal fav song of theirs is Re-bye. Love this series and love your reactions :)
Great music from great talents! I am a Dinosaur enthusiast. I remembered when Dinosaur MV teasers came out - I seriously wondered what the heck they're going to sing about. Then when I watched the MV and read the lyrics - I was bawling. The bridge of this song is perfection.
There were many "theories" on what the song is about - but I think it can be interpreted in any way. Which makes it more beautiful and brilliant. It's really one of my favorite songs ever. Thank you for this AKMU reaction.💕
Please I need part 2!!! Specially :
Melted MV (beautiful meaning)
Alien (Suhyun solo)
How people move
I just started the video but I JUST NEED to comment first! because! OMG??????!!! I never expected to see AKMU on your channel!!! They are like one of the most talented duo in the universe!! I'm SO excited!!!! AND!!! NAKKA!!! WITH IU!!!!

Amen
In the Give Love MV they were Bro and Sis, thats why she becames happy when she saw her phone.
Oh my god akmu!! I'm cryingg 😭💞 thank youu!!
Because of this video I am encouraged to listen to their recent album and chanhyuk's solo and just WOW. They are just musical geniuses. Thank you Caitlin!
Oh my gosh yes
I desperately need a Deep Dive episode for AKMU, I need you to love them 🧎🧎
Amen❤
Akmu are soooo naturally talented 😭Lee Su Hyuns vocals are crazy good live too. Not offended at all with the Mamamoo comparison bc they're both great live and their retro/jazz vibes are perfection. I'm a moomoo but I stan talent so ofc Akmu gotta be in there!! Lol
Some other names from that Kpop star show:
Lee Hi
Lily - Nmixx
Bang Yedam - former Treasure
Chaeryeong - Itzy
Chaeyeon - former iz*one now solo
And many more but I remember watching them on Kpop Star and they were just Itty bitty babies. Theyve all come far 🥲
The mini collaboration of Mamamoo and AKMU was on the Solarsido show where Solar and Suhyun sang each others group songs. So awesome!
No one commenting in Korean language, and many people know AKMU. This is so good
it's nice to see their growth when they sing those old songs as adults now. their song melted sounds really different from their performance when they were kids to when they performed it again a year or so ago. lee hi and suhyun also performed i'm different again a couple of years ago and it was great to see how they've grown up to be such talented women
caitlin!! im so so glad you checked out akmu! i've been a fan of them since debut and they are TRUE musical prodigies! they're so loved in south korea and it's no wonder because they're so incredibly talented. this video was a treat, thanks so much for your hard work
Actually 200% goes first then Give Love ~ lol its a continuation of the previous MV.. Actually in "200%" suhyun had a crush on Nam Joo Hyuk (The actor on the MV) .. and she thought he was dating the actress on the MV.. then on the "Give Love" MV she kept being the third wheel .. then around the end she saw the Actress' phone and found out that Nam Joo Hyuk and the Girl actress were siblings.. That's why she was super happy ... and around the end Chanhyuk ends up doing what his sister is doing, now going after the girl Actress 😂
Yes, thank you for this!
I love them so much. AKMU are one of the best storytellers.
Dinosaur is very loved by me and my kids.
I love the fact that you asked "is it the same group???" while listening to NAKKA, and you're right. NAKKA was released after Chanhyuk's enlistment, while the rest of the songs before it. So it makes sense that their sound changed and matured A LOT after he returned back from enlistment. He talked about how it influenced him. 'Sailing' - the album released after he returned, is still one of my very favourite albums of aaaaaall artists I know.
yay, so glad you reacted to their videos, love AKMU since Kpop star. if anybody reading this is also new to akmu - you should totally watch their audition video, the entire audience fell in love with them straight away. also, more recently, since chanhyuk got released from the military, they went to the show knowing brother and literally wrote songs on the spot based on random book pages. the talent they have is unreal
OMG AKMU IS FINALLY HERE
AKMU's Dinosaur and Melted are my favourite. ❤ Thank you for this
MY CHILDREN! Their music is always top tier.
I don't know if someone already explained, but Dinosaur talks about when they were children and debt collectors came to their house to break everything or something like that...
That's actually just a fan theory and they said it's not true 😂 th-cam.com/video/7Q_lpANegT0/w-d-xo.html they talk about it in this some time after singing Dinosaur
I hope one day you'll react to their song melted..that song made me cry and probably my favorite song and mv of them
Yes please
1 hour???? Caitlin i love you so much🤧
I love them! I think Dinosaur is still my favorite.
Wow thanks 🦕❤️
As an AKMU fan since 2016 ( I will flex) I am so happy to see people still reacting to AKMU. If u ever want to react/listen to more in ur own time, I would recommend Around, Play Ugly, Hey kid close your eyes, Melted, re bye and how people move.
Yaaaas! I was looking forward to this the most! Love AKMU so much.
THIS IS WHY I LOVE YG ARTIST...
every akmu song is very good, i even like all the albums, but there are some songs that i always play when i'm happy or sad, those songs are last goodbye, how can i love the heartbreak and little star. I hope you will listen to these 3 songs one day, thank you ❤
Akmu is another korean group/duo that sounds so much better live. I hope you dive into them because they have SO songs that I know you'll love like Happening and Melted. Omg definitely Melted. I bet you'll cry.
Thank you for reacting to AKMU 🥰
Hands down one of the best discography in kpop❤
I got obsessed with them when i saw their live performance of "re-bye"!!! im so glad to see you reacting to them
not sure if you have figured out the meaning behind Dinosaur by now but it's a term that koreans use to refer to dept collectors. their familiy struggled a lot financially when they were kids and obviously these people weren't the nicest. So this is what the song is about.
akmu is amazinG!
Akmu music and vocal supremacy🙇♀️
OH MY GOOOOD I LOVE AKMU! In fact, they're the reason why I'm interested in K-Artists in the first place. My friend rec them to me back in 2017 and I've been a fan ever since. I think they're still underappreciated especially outside of South Korea. Both are amazing performers. Suhyun is one of the best voice of Korean female singer in my opinion and Chanhyuk is literally a genius composer. They have great lyrics and NOT EVEN ONE BAD SONG. They sit on a table together with BTS (my utl group) as highly talented and artistic artists in my vocabulary!
AKMU has a song titled "How can I love the heartbreak" and I am so much in love with that song that I want everybody to listen it..
there is no 0 for akmu, every song they had is just plain AMAZING! love your series btw
I'm still not done watching but I'm so so happy you finally know about AKMU!! And I know you have a lot on your plate right now but I hope in the future you can listen to more of their songs because their music is literally top tier!! With Chanhyuk's genius mind and Suhyun's amazing voice a perfect song will always come out so I hope you can have time in the future to check them out again!!
I don't expect this one, to be honest. Thank you so much for reacting to akmu!
I forgot how much I love AKMU!
AKMU is back to studios. Let's just prepare for new masterpiece
Omg i love akmu thanks for checking them out
I miss AKMU, they were amazing, I hope they make a return eventually.
Fun fact: In I'm Different, Suhyun texting to her friend, they use her real friend's name, Yeri from Red Velvet XD
Hahaha their friendship tho❤❤
OMG im so happy that you reacting this DUO TALENTED SIBLING. If im not mistaken, i've read at somewhere, dinosaur is a song that describe their childhood frequented by rude debt collectors. So the dinosaur means debt collectors itself. And i recommend to you some of their songs who is also masterpiece like Melted; How can I love the heartbreak, you’re the one I love; Re-Bye. Thank u
I became a fan of AKMU after I listen to 200% 😊 Glad to see you made a reaction video for AKMU❤
love that your reacting to AKMU, they really are such a talented duo. my favourite song by them is Dinosaur and How can I love the Heartbreak, hopefully when or if you get back round to Akmu you can listen to this. i think you'd love it.
I haven’t actively went out of my way to listen to them. I listened to Alien and enjoyed that. Just watching this made me wanna download their albums. Thank you for checking them out! I enjoy their sound so much and i didn’t even know 😭
If you've been into kpop for years, you might not know them but you surely heard their songs. Same as me, i just discovered and dive deeper to their music because Rosé and Suhyun were both in the Sea of Hope 😭😭
"Is that who I think it is?" Hello Pre-debut Jisoo!
200% will always have a special place in my heart as it was the song that got me into K-pop.
Akmu are the hidden gems of kpop. Their songs are always a breath of fresh air.
there's an idea for Dinosaur, that the song tells of their childhood memories when creditors were lashing out at their homes (basement villa is usually the lowest level of a house that gets rented out for cheap), and because they were kids, the shouting was like a dinosaur :") hit me RIGHT IN THE HEART
Omg I had a huge AKMU phase like five years ago and seeing you react to them reminds me once again just how amazing their music. They’re such great musicians and I genuinely think they can’t have a bad song.
would love to see more AKMU in your channel soon 💕
Chanhyuk is an absolute musical genius- his songs are so fresh, and the lyrics he writes are often so heartfelt. Dinosaur is one of those songs I found myself crying while listening to it. I’m so happy you’ve discovered AKMU and their amazing talent. ❤
they're right up in the alley with IU, BOL4 when it comes to coffee shops playing their music. the general public knows them rather than having super big fanbases. their streams are waaaay up there
@@yoohootube12 can never go wrong with akmu 💯💯
I didn't even know "I'm Different" was a duo song when I first heard it. I was vibin' out so much to it when Lee Hi performed it on her Killing Voice that I probably had stopped reading the song info on the screen. 😂
My favourite songs from AKMU in no particular order are
1. Give love
2. 200%
3. Melted
4. How can i love the heartbreak
5. Whale
6. Time and fallen leaves
7. Will last forever
8. Chantey
9. Re-bye
YES their sadder/more melancholic songs are just TOP TIER.
Ah i forgot, i really like Re-Bye too..
And i haven't heard their newest song btw.. but i've liked them since they still at kpopstar. Oh i forgot the name of the show coz its been a long time
Re-bye???
@@songxixi2243 yes forgot about it.. i've added on the comment 😅
Lmao I'm Different is too fun. Legend MV and collab. [I pray he goes into acting because he's a natural]
My favorite AKMU album is Winter!
Finallyyy
Akmu is the other masterpiece in kpop
