after all these years melted still makes me tear up

Whew Melted still gets me 🤧

something interesting about Melted is that the Korean title 얼음들 translates to 'Ice' (ice but plural) and sounds extremely similar to the korean for 'adults' aka 어른들. So when the lyrics go 'why are they so cold' it could be related to ice as well as adults. And the English title Melted could be related to the one adult in the end who showed kindness to him, which then shows the ice in the cup of the (speculated) adult version of the boy melting!

Melted is an emotional experience no matter how many times I watch and listen to it AKMU's artistry is immense and it's incredible to see Also, yes. Their albums. On. Point. Also also, if you want to look up and understand the meaning behind Dinosaur, it's quite deep as well. Apparently related to how debt collectors would come and cause havoc when they were back in Mongolia

In the Happening mv I love the happy ending sign with the y and d missing because I think it shows that there are people in ur life who aren't your happy ending but just something that happened to you (a happening)

So another cool thing about AKMU, in 2019 they released their song "Fish in the Water" from their Sailing album (the one "How Can I Love The Heartbreak, You're the One I Love" is from) which achieved great success on the charts. Alongside it, Chanhyuk wrote his first ever novel by the same title which released at the same time and immediately became a #1 best seller. The novel came about bc their A&R team was asking for short descriptions about the album songs to release & he said if he had to express himself even further than the lyrics could he was gonna write something long and thorough and hence the full novel came about. These siblings are just so incredibly gifted it's insane.

It's 2020 and we still crying over Melted

This is a pretty intense introduction to AKMU! They also have a bunch of more upbeat bops like How People Move and 200%. I personally really love Re-bye and Play Ugly too.

Melted makes me cry everytime, especially the last barking scene it just feels so ... raw. Thank you for reacting to akmu!!

While the brother was off in the military Lee Suhyun had her own solo career for awhile. There's some stunning music from her out there, especially the 'Beginagain' mini concert series.

I’m from Korea and I live there but basically Dinosaur is about their story, they were really poor when they were young, in korea there's a saying about dinosaurs and debt collectors. This is about when they were kids and were so scared of those debt collectors that came for their family pretty aggressively that they even dream about it, this song is like saying "you won't touch my family again, this time if you come I will scream louder" I hope this helps😌

Yes AKMU! Literally one of my all time faves! The first song of theirs I ever heard was "200%" and I've been hooked ever since, so I recommend that one for sure! As for others, "How People Move" is a fun one and so is "Re-Bye". But honestly all their songs are so goooooood, their classical background really shows especially where Suhyun's voice is concerned! And I just love how Chanhyuk writes the songs with Suhyun's voice in mind, such a cute sibling duo whi are so talented. Thank you so much for reacting to them and giving them more attention.

I love dinasaur.. There are theories of what the music really means saying that it was just a dream or their life situation when they was just a kid.. Listen to 200%, Re bye and how people move.. And also "How can i love the heartbreak, you're the one i love".. Yeah thats the title..😁 They really have great songs..

thank you for your reaction!! they are such an amazing and talented sibling duo. you should defnitely look into the meanings behind the mvs and lyrics :) some recommendations: Give Love, 200% - they are both from their debut album last goodbye - it is from their album called Winter How people move Re-bye they are so versatile and do every genre ^^

Wow the first time I've heard melted by AKMU great song so beautiful the MV was tough dinosaur is absolutely incredible I absolutely adore it play it at least 10 times a day atm.

As an old AKMU fan I welcome you to the family by recommending my top AKMU songs. (I love all of their songs without exception) AKMU started as two siblings who participated in Kpop Star program and they made it to the finals and were signed under YG entertainment (the same company as BlackPink, 2NE1, BigBang, IKON, and Winner...) I loved how they got the best conditions in their contract) Suhyun have the best vocals and Chanhyuk is the genius producer and songwriter. They write produce and compose their own songs and they are so good at doing it. No one can not love their music. Anyway I recommend yoi watch their first two mv's they have a storyy board so you should watch them as required first "200%" second "Give Love" And I recommend you react to their MV "How can I love the Heartbreak, You're the one I love" And I really very highly recommend you react to all of their songs. Thank you for having a good music taste and uploading very genuine and fun to watch reaction videos. Good job Ps: stay safe and be happy

Thanks for reacting to akmu!! If you wanna listen to more of their albums I'd strongly recommend their 3rd full album "Sailing" from last year. The title song "How can I love the heartbreak, you're the one I love" is sooooo good (with a gorgeous mv)! The whole album gives a perfect autumn/winter vibe.

Not sure if anyone here has mentioned it but for "Melted", adult and ice have similar pronunciation in korean. So they are referring to both ice and adult as cold (why are adults so cold). This is the first song they produced after their win in the kpop star variety show so some old time fans thought they were referring to the harsh adults around them when preparing for this song (if they are warmer, a warmer song may come out).

Wow, i cant believe you take interest in AKMU. This siblings are so talented. They are are worth listening to. Specially Chanhyuk is musically genius and of course suhyun with her pitch perfect voice. 😍

Every song on their albums are the best. Listening to their albums is such an experience. You should definitely listen to it. I really like How Can I love the heartbreak, you're the one I love.

Dinosaur is ingenious. I loved it on the first listen - just because of Suhyun's voice and the awesome hook - even without context and meaning. Finding out what the songs actually means, made it all the more special. I always find myself choked up in tears when the bridge comes on and Suhyun sings "Shout louder than you".

omg yess akmu 🥰 i literally started stanning them a few weeks ago and i love them

Wow you managed to sample 3 of their songs on the darker side. MELTED never failed to break my heart, both MV & the song lyrics. DINOSAUR always give me chills esp. the bridge part. Though it has happier vibes with its sounds, the whole song, and even mv, was still dark. And HAPPENING of course os towards the past that just passed and you'd rather not hold on into. Please go through their albums~ Their discography is so rich and I don't have a single song of theirs that I don't like. Only them and Seventeen are the groups I gound to be very consistent on the music they make.

AKMU is talented and so musically diverse especially for being so young! They’re being wasted at YG and I hope they move to P Nation once their contract is up.

THANK YOU 😭 when i first listnd to Dinosaur, my heart felt like its being held(even if i didnt anderstand the lyrics bfor)i felt sad,and when i knew the story behind it i just loved them more,and MELTED! i dont even need to say anything 😭 Happening seems like reminiscing on a dead love to me😢 their lyrics are superb💓 Pls react to their Album Sailing 😍 it was after Chanhyuk served the military on marines,songs related to the sea and night❤ you'll love it❤

YESSSS AKMU is absolutely amazing! so glad you decided to react to them :)

Seriously happening is still to this day my new favourite. It just hits you differently.

Like the hundredth time I saw melted and can't believe I still cried

I would recommend listening to their music in order of release date. It's really interesting to hear their sound progress and mature as they age(they debuted as teens). Their 3rd album Sailing is one of my top favorite albums of all time. Chanhyuk even wrote a book to go along with it, Fish Meets Water, that became a #1 best seller. People always talk about Suhyun's amazing voice but I think his creative artistry needs more aknowledgement too.

thank you for reacting to AKMU!!! they really deserve more appreciation :(( hope you check out more of their mvs soon!!

Their albums are literally unskippable. Their bsides can easily become another's main song.

Ohhh you dived into in to YGE self composed artists..like LEGIT ARTISTS in AKMU and WINNER. Both groups may not be as extremely popular as their fellow kpop artists internationally, BUT in SKOREA/ASIA they are well known and super popular in the domestic market. Which is just as IMPORTANT cuz they live there and actively promote their music in SKOREA. Now, would it be wonderful if AKMU and WINNER is super popular INTERNATIONALLY? OF COURSE! that’s an added bonus, but it’s not AKMU or WINNER’s target audience you know? They don’t expect to blow up internationally and they don’t usually go with the NORM or mainstream at times. AKMU or WINNER isn’t aiming or focusing on becoming internationally popular. They just compose music and make music that inspires them and hopefully their music will give comfort or motivate their listeners too. For me AKMU and WINNER had been groups in YG that didn’t fit the typical YG image, which at the time of their debut AKMU in April 6, 2014 and WINNER in August 17, 2014. AKMU had the whole singer/musician/composer mixed with a folk type/contemporary music, but they can also be bright and upbeat. WINNER had that same image of mellow/contemporary/rock pop/ballad, but they were put in that kind of box. They were so much more versatile than that tbh and the same for AKMU. SERIOUSLY AKMU DISCOGRAPHY and WINNER DISCOGRAPHY IS 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Suhyun has one of my most favorite vocals in this generation of KPOP. It’s just so angelic and smooth as well as comforting af. She’s so young and will continue to get better with age and it’s INSANEEEE. I LOVE HER TO PIECES! The sweetest and also the most wisest young lady. Chanhyuk.. this guy is IMMENSELY talented and A MUSIC GENIUS!!! He’s also just so wise and the way composes such thought provoking music is so unique. The stories and messages that he wants to convey really does hits you deep down into your soul. He’s also still so young too and he’s just THIS AMAZING. Yep be prepared!! You’ll fall more in love with AKMU after diving into their music and reacting to their MVs. Such a LEGENDARY SIBLING DUO!!

really looking forward to you seeing the rest of their MV's and listening to their albums! Trust me it's all golden :)

Next to listen definitely is how can i love the heartbreak , ur the one i love

I love them, I can't get over their music 😻😻😻

AAAAAAAAAAH!! I love Akmu!!!! They are amazing!!! Melted always makes me so emotional...is an amazing song but it makes me so sad...I kind of avoid to listen/watch the song and mv.......your face while watching the mv ;__; I'm sending you hugs. The complete change of vibes from Melted to Dinosaur xd is great. I really like Happening and in the mv the part with Suhyun like jumping to different places/times, it's amazing!

Thank you for reacting to AKMU. Hard way to start. Most people start with 200% and the sequel Give Love. So different from Iz*ons. And their songs are also very different from each other. I was lucky enough to get a hold of all their albums. People complain about YG and how they sit on the artists, but they usually put out beautiful, complete and well made albums. If you get the chance, they made a short film for their Winter album. They sample most of the songs from that album. Great fun to watch their journey and listen to amazing music.

their albums are all amazing! can't wait to see more reactions :)

I love seeing AkMu!! Yay!! When you start getting into older album listens, Play should be at the top of your list imo. And with lyrics! Their lyrics are so not typical bland love songs. ♥♥♥

Yes AKMU! Definitely check out their albums, especially Sailing. The opening track, Chantey, is absolutely gorgeous.

Melted is so deep and so many people don't quite get it.. So good...

Akmu is the best duo in the world I would recommend song whale and chocolady I really like this songs from them brother wrotes and produces all of their songs edit:to be honest AKMU is only artist which album never disapoints me I like every song they realize I have about 50 songs from them in my phone 😅😂

omg i didn't see the notif- ahh i'm here now (stan akmu)

I love your reaction so much.....

How can I love the heartbreak, you're the one I love is a definite must from them! That and Re-Bye.

Akmu is fantastic! Now I can't wait for you to check out their song "Re-bye"

Akmu are my actual everything!! One of the few artists I love their entire albums!

I realllyy love akmu their songs are just sooooo good to listen to

Her voice is just so angelic

Happening was supposed to be Chanhyuk's solo. (I wish you had made a comment about his voice. He's more than a producer.)

Stan talent, stan AKMU!

YAAAAAAAAAAAS. ♥ AKMU TuT whooo~ Oh god starting off with melted...ye guess its crying time for me. Let's go. "I have no idea what to expect from akmu music videos." Well.. uhh.. im not gonna tell u xD Ugh.. so emotional. So powerful. No words needed. Oh wow now you say exactly that hehe. Dinosaur is a song since i know it, has always been in my playlist and never been taken out. It is such a refreshing song for every season, every time, just always. i love it so much. Also Happening... yea.. i listen to it everyday xD AKMU is after SKZ/Mamamoo my favourite Artists and if you liked a few older songs of mamamoo, i really think the older stuff of AKMU will get to you too. Like Play Ugly, How People Move, Give Love, 200% and RE-BYE. Glad you enjoyed it. Lots of love ♥

Their musical short film is a definite must see

Uhh, thank you for checking them out. They are so good, it's said that Suhyun can sing anything and her brother can write everything :D By the way, I'd love to see your reaction to Hynn. She has so many good song, an album without bad songs and insane vocals! She is so good. Was on Immortal Songs and won several times on King of Masked singers. ☺️ -"When I tell you goodbye" (there is a completely live acapella version as well!) -"Let Me Out" -"the lonely flower blooms alone"

Ahh akmu man. They have such good vocals and raps. If I could go to any concert it would be Akmu or Gfriend's.

Melted is always make me sad & Dinosour for me is a sad songs with happy vibe that also make me tears up everytime i listend to it.

Omg finally AKMU Im crying

Halfway in to melting and I'm crying.

The boy actor really did a great job

I recommend the ark the light. Not only is it good song the dance is good as well. The MV is quiet sad. The group consist of 5/6 girls there's only one song and they are underrated, so they couldnt have actually disbandment. But two of the girls came out in Khan I'll be your girl but they also had a disbandment after one song even though they were known locally. But I do recommend these two videos because they kinda relate to people's problems. Not everyone's problems but problems that are realistic.

yohoooo akmu ❤️

Because you keep saying Suhyun is cute, i really want to recommend you their even earlier MVs (if not their first MVs, I've been listening to them even since their in KPOP STAR program so I'm not quite remember their debut track). It's "200%" and "Give Love" they're quite a sequel so it would be great if you react to both 🙂🙂

Everytime i watch melted, i always cry 😢😭 .. maybe u done see Akmu - How can i love the heartbreak? I hope you can react another song YG artist

AKMU is an art form..

Please react to "how can i love the heartbreak, you're the one i love" that's one of their best song, it's still charting untill now

U should watch 200% and give love too

more akmu please

Please react to their new album!

u can read lyrics haha.. it is not just disco music. its sad vibe.

You should check out Suhyun's Solo Debut Alien & her Rendition of Reflection from Mulan kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i9N5bJd3vd7Dj4E.html (her Disney Medley is also legendary!)

Love AKMU, they're such an amazing duo!!! Can I recommend you something else? I think you'd love EXID and HYNN, feel free to ask any question if you need help :)

PLEASE REACT TREASURE- BOY, I LOVE YOU MV PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Oof. You really picked the heavy ones didn't you?

Do
