    chan is actually the older brother and writes a great deal of their songs. She has complained in the past what a perfectionist he is. pretty much average sibling interaction. chan plays the guitar and arranges most of their songs...maybe that is why there is so much of that instrument in their works.

    At the beginning of Dinasour, Suhyun said her brother promised her she will not have to sing the song live when he wrote it.... thus the small hit on his shoulder at 11:23

    their discography has more complex stuff and they definitely skipped some of it here but their charm lies on the music they make, their tones, technique and most especially their SONGWRITING. they're more of a folk, pop, acoustic duo and that simple and fun sound is well loved in korea so it's their biggest hits.
    i think you should check re-bye, how people move, chocolady and nakka which is their more fun stuff sonically.

    yeah, idk i just love how akmu sings, like i dont want them to play with notes when the instrumentals are already doing it for them, that's just my personal opinion, akmu doesn't need to have intriguing harmonies, it's okay to have predictable harmonies, it's a breath of fresh air to hear these satisfying notes being hit after listening to a bunch of kpop songs that's very much unconventional, maybe you're just not akmu's target audience

    AKMU def know their own sound and really leans into it when producing their music such as writing more straight notes and perhaps choosing obvious note combinations. Their color isn't for everyone and it doesn't have to be everyone's preference. I enjoyed your reaction nonetheless! More importantly, there was no bashful or passive comments within your feedback, which I very much appreciated. Songs can have a different target audience and we all don't have to fit it (like you've mentioned too).

    akmu's charm is that they don't need to add all the flashy stuff you say you would have liked to hear. The chords are written with intention and are made to match the lyrics (which they write really well). Adding more "harmonic interest" would change the message/mood they were trying to convey in some of these songs. They do have more musically complex stuff but they didn't show it off here lol. Of course you're entitled to your opinions and tastes but just wanted to point out that their ability to nail simple but authentic songs is part of what makes them so popular. They also make just great upbeat fun music that just makes you feel good

  • @ayouspace4780

    Like many people said in the comments, AKMU's charm is that they don't need to do more. the music already touches you and the voices deliver the messages very well for me. also why you hear more guitar is probably the brother Chanhyuk who produces everything starts the composition of the songs with the guitar, especially in the beginning of their career. he most probably only could play guitar so he would make music using it.
    You should check their videos as well, they are fun and they deliver nice messages that complement their songs

  • @Sirbananasir

    One reason why you often hear the acoustic guitar might be because they fall under both pop and folk categories the performances Suhyun did on Begin Again were really good too I would definitely recommend checking out some Begin Again performances with some of your vocalist friends. So many awesome artist have appeared on the show including both Taeyeon, So Hyang, Hyolyn, Crush, etc... Hyolyn's cover of Driver's License was absolutely beautiful.

    I think their strength is their witty lyrics and the way their voices complement each other! They were in a singing show where YG was one of the judges, I don't remember if they won but watching some clips YG really liked them and recognized their potential I think this is why they signed with YG! They were really young when they started, she is only 25 now, that is why their older songs are cuter

    The thing about Suhyun is that, in kpop, especially in the big 4, you ain't debuting if you dont have at least some technique in vocals but Suhyun has that thing of being a natural that I think it's not the standard in the industry. I think that she and IU might be the best vocals on the pop side of Korea.

  • @luzrayrulov3443
    @luzrayrulov3443 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

    I get what you're trying to say but they are not an RnB Pop duo or anything close to that. Some of my most favorite songs of them are the really calm and "clean" sounds, both fun upbeat and slow emotional songs. Just comforting and soothing fresh. I agree AKMU's songs are considered basic/boring-core compared to typical KPOP songs, but to be fair, they were never intended to be like those KPOP groups.

    Who Talks About Ramyun(Ramen) in a song? the 1st song was about that! HAHA. This Sibling duo is So Famous and Respected in South Korea because of their Amazing Songwriting Talent and Originality
    And when you Dive into Chanhyuks Lyrics. He tells alot, in a wierd way. The ability to be QUIRKY in some songs and pull a heart string on the Others. AKMU is a Gem to me! They are on My Playlist coz its soothing to Listen.. with No Over the Top, extented Runs and In your Face Vocal acrobats (which I also like when Im driving hehe. I love music)
    Even if they are not Your Jam. You atleast tried. Its always important to keep an Open Mind coz you are Crossing DIFFERENT CULTURE. Not Everything Kpop is Western Sounding. And I will be Happy If Akmu will Never adjust to Fit your Box. Authenticity is very Important and they Should always do Them.

    Yeah, I think AKMU is definitely not for you. I listened to snippets at the end cause I wanted to understand what you meant. Well, I didn't like. Like at all. All examples. I really think it's a pass for you. Ofcource, there is solo album of Chanhyuk. But as whole I don't think they are for you. As side from their vibes and singing, I think the most value of their songs are lyrics anyway. So, you can't feel the music if you don't know korean or at least know translation. So, I don't even see necessity for you to check their other songs actually.
    Anyway, thanks for your reaction!

    I'm pretty sure AKMU. (Akdong Musicians) originally always introduced themselves as an acoustic music duo. (At least on kpop star and Chanhyuk always had am acoustic guitar and they did acoustic covers of other songs.) They've definitely branched out over the years but the acoustic guitar has always been a big part of their sound..

    13:14 personally I believe its more about the sentimentality of the song ( one needs to go into the lyrics and meaning of the song) and showcasing something even slightly fancier can possibly be a detraction.. in any case this song hit the charts, and won awards (heck most of the songs in their albums are chart toppers) and maintained for a long time showcasing how talented the brother is in writing and composing the song and the both of them for carrying it very well

    It's also wild you've never listened to any of their songs (and to answer your questions about being siblings in a group......they obviously love each other but they bicker CONSTANTLY. It's like their thing to go on variety shows and just fight with each other). So yeah, they were on this competition show where the main 3 companies basically fought to sign contestants and they were by far the best so when they went with YG, they were given a LOT of freedoms in their contract that regular idols would never get (they write and produce their own songs, they don't have to be on any diet restriction or be forced to get plastic surgery)

    Agree with you that this live performance was a bit safe. But I think AKMU actually showcases a good example of two topics I like to bring up
    1. The kpop that travels well to the West, provides something unique or a spectacle that you can't get from your own country. But, you still need music for different occasions (comforting, touching, funny, etc) and hence, the different things that work locally. Example you used, in a way, you don't really need AKMU because you have Chloe x Halle
    2. I'm generalizing a bit, but I think the "default" voice texture & music melodies that touches the soul is a bit different for Western & East Asian audiences. For example, in Korea, a few of the leading female voices that demonstrate this are IU, Taeyeon & Suhyun here from AKMU. Whereas, a Western audience may prefer a different voice for "feelings". I am East Asian with a Western education, but the East Asian thing tugs at my heart a bit more readily. And, I specifically use East Asian here because the same tradition seems to stretch from China to Vietnam. Which is why the Korean OSTs and ballads and IUs export a bit better in those countries

    AKMU is Akdong Musicians which is translated as Mischievous Musicians that is why most of their songs they played with their rhythms as such

    @Irene-ws9kk 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Since their competition days AKMU have really developed their unique sound, very crisp, refreshing and absolutely if anyone wants to know them more, pls focus on their rhythms and lyrics, their lyrics are so amazing if you know Korean or can get a good translation of it, I feel like because their lyrics are so much built into the DNA of their songs, it’s really impossible to get to know the personality and swagger of them as a group without lyrics. also the topics they write about are very diversified and not only about relationships and love. They are such a breathe of fresh air. Would recommend anyone to check them out properly if interested in more.

    They have a pretty interesting back story "Lee Chan-hyuk and Lee Su-hyun lived with their missionary parents in Mongolia for almost five years before returning to South Korea to pursue a career in the music industry.[7][8] While in Mongolia, they were home-schooled by their mother. The siblings, under the name Akdong Musician, joined their first label, the Proteurment agency and soon performed on several stages and even released an original song titled "Galaxy", which later was used as a soundtrack for a Samsung Galaxy S4 film commercial in May 2013" Wikipedia They were not professionally trained. Most of their songs were cutesy as they were very young and innocent when released. They were on hiatus as a group when Lee Chanhyuk preformed his military service. Suhyun got a lot of preforming experience on the TV Series Begin Again, Korea, which was an awesome some featuring many top acts preforming live to small audiences in Europe then in Korea during COVID.
    Suhyun has a multiple of duets with Lee So-ra (Episode 1-5)
    Hareem
    Henry
    Lee Su-hyun (AKMU)
    Jukjae
    Crush (Episode 1-3, 8-10)
    Jung Seung-hwan
    Lee Hi (Episode 4-6, 10)[10]
    Sohyang (Episode 6-10)[12] to name a few. You can find most of these on youtube

    I love you! love any reaction videos you have but it was very painful to watched and listened to you singing and trying to show us examples on how the songs can be better. That aside, the examples you showed us at the end, will never matched AKMU style and musics and songs so yes, i’m glad they didn’t do any of them. Their beauty is the quirkness of their songs lyrics and their vocals together, always amazed me. The songs they created to me, are just perfect for them and I enjoyed them very much.
    I believe AKMU songs are not for you to enjoy as once you have an expectation of someone, it’s hard for you to enjoy their songs as it is. Yes I know you know they are good singers and they have good vocal but at the same time, you are so focused in expecting certain tones from them, that you not enjoying the session/artists as it is which is such a waste. Till next reaction, thanks for reacting.

    I really like AKMU style from the very 1st time i watched their audition on kpop star. They are so unique especially their playfullness on lyrics and note and its refreshing. I was not into bg/gg back than so CNBlue and AKMU were my faves since 2010 and 2013 until i found EXO on 2020. Eventho i stan EXO (bg) i still couldn't enjoy other bg/gg vibes of musics but CNBlue and AKMU still my top 2 and 3 kpop group i really like.
    Wait.. i've just realized.. so EXO is boygroup, CNBlue is band, and AKMU is duo... wow.. its almost complete 😍. If i want to add soloist than my fave is D.O., Chen (i litterally like all of Chen n D.O. songs whatever genre it is).
    And once more.. Suhyun (the female) is my top 1 favourite woman singer in korea.. for me her voice is so beautiful. Begin again program proved it.

    To my understanding he writes most of the songs, if not all, and not only that, he also produces and arranges them, that's why they are so famous they were on a show (like American Idol) and they won and I think one of the reasons was that most of the songs they presented were originals. That's when YG signed them.. Chan is super respected for being a good composer/songwriter and suhyun for being an amaizin vocalist I think regarding the harmonizations, Chan has said several times that he writes and composes his music thinking about his sister's voice, many times the songs end up being almost solos for her, maybe that's why they don't play much with harminzation, he's thinking more about how SHE would sing it, He even wrote her solo debut.
    They are more on the pop and folk side, I dont think I hear then sing R&B or maybe very little

    the lack variety in harmonies you are talking about are definitely done at the second and last chorus of most of their songs. it looks like they are singing the first choruses of their songs. you should give their discography a listen!

    i kinda disagree about the harmony you wanted in How Can i love the heartache when I love you......going a flat 7 or suspended 5th like you wanted doesn't match the lyrics or meaning of the song. Obviously you have things that you want and like but they spend a LOT of time of where and what they want the song to be (it's not like they can't do it) but honestly, not even looking up the lyrics or meaning of the songs and what certain intervals do to that meaning and wanting what you want is slightly offensive honestly (especially on a first listen of a snipet of each song). You know I'm not a hater.....just at the very least listen to the entire songs first

    • @703elee
      @703elee 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      BUT....if you want to hear crunchy harmonies.....honestly, listen to the song that made them famous when they were on Kpop Star 2 "Don't Cross Your Legs" (unfortunately they vowed they would never perform that song ever again since they played/performed it so much)

    • @Koko3op
      @Koko3op  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It’s a killing voice reaction. I’m going to take it as it is without knowing the full context of the songs because that’s the dingo format. You worded as though I searched for their songs and only listened to snippets?
      Why would I treat them differently than any other killing voice I’ve reacted to that has managed to convey their message without added context?
      Slightly offensive? I thought you knew me better than that Ed.

    • @703elee
      @703elee 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      @Koko3op no no, ypu misunderstood me....not saying you're picking and choosing. Just that the format of an instant reaction to killing voice can be misleading for the reactor (which is unfortunate, bc so many people discover artists through this series since it comes in a nice package of highlights). The reality, MANY songs featured on killing voice are so much more complex than the snippets they present (and often times sound WAY different) so it's always a little disheartening for someone to make a wholesale opinion just based these small snippets
