Profile
AKMU is the sibling duo of LEE CHANHYUK and LEE SUHYUN. They officially debuted in 2014 and built a catalog known for CHANHYUK’s songwriting and production alongside SUHYUN’s distinctive vocals.
The duo’s music ranges from the bright acoustic-pop character of early songs such as “200%” to the expansive arrangements of SAILING, the collaborative NEXT EPISODE project and the lighter romantic tone of “Love Lee.”
After more than a decade with YG Entertainment, AKMU’s exclusive contract ended and their activities transferred to Cemter of Inspiration in January 2026. On April 7, 2026, they released their fourth studio album FLOWERING, an 11-track album written, composed and produced by LEE CHANHYUK.
The latest album era includes official videos for “Paradise of Rumors,” “Joy, Sorrow, A Beautiful Heart” and “Spring Colors.” The video section below is arranged newest first while retaining major earlier songs as listening landmarks.
