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! 💕

Akmu songs are those songs when you want your own personal time/space you can close your eyes and listen to them ❤

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 😭

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 🎉😭❤❤

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

Girl! I can't believe it took you this long to recognize Jisoo!? 😂 Love your reactions! ❤ I love all of these songs!

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!

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.

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.

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. 😆

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

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

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!

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!!!

I am loving The Label View content.

Wow I've never listened to Akmu but I've fallen in love after this video. The live version of Dinosaur gave me chills

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

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

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!

Chanhyuk is even FUNNIER now! 😂😂 The videos he post in his KZfaq lmaoooo.. Also I think he have a live performance while he is literally getting a haircut 😂😂

This is a top tier series caitlin so excited for each episode

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

Caitlin be always giving me the best yt series. And yes AKMU!! ICONIC SIBLINGS WE LOVE THEM TOP TIER MUSICIANS

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....

Thank you for this! Akmu is so underrated by international kpop fans (although they are popular in Korea)

Suhyun is one of my favorite voices in kpop. She's really good!

AKMU siblings have the golden voice n they're so talented!

My personal fav song of theirs is Re-bye. Love this series and love your reactions :)

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

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

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 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Akmu song's How Can I Love The Heartbreak is masterpiece, you must hear it🙌🏻

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

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 💙💙

Oh my god akmu!! I'm cryingg 😭💞 thank youu!!

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

Thanks for introducing these artists to me. Just added to my Spotify 😊

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!

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.

How can i love the heart break and Dinosaur is my all time favourite song ofAKMU

I got obsessed with them when i saw their live performance of "re-bye"!!! im so glad to see you reacting to them

I love them so much. AKMU are one of the best storytellers. Dinosaur is very loved by me and my kids.

AKMU's Dinosaur and Melted are my favourite. ❤ Thank you for this

finally an AKMU reaction 🥹 thanks for giving them a listen

AKMU PT. 2? How People Move Re-Bye Melted How Can I Love the Heartbreak, You're the One I love

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!

I love them! I think Dinosaur is still my favorite.

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 🥲

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 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.

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.

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 ❤

Yaaaas! I was looking forward to this the most! Love AKMU so much.

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..

1 hour???? Caitlin i love you so much🤧

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!!!!

In the Give Love MV they were Bro and Sis, thats why she becames happy when she saw her phone.

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 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 😭

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.

This duo is so amazing❤️❤️❤️

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

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. ❤

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.

I became a fan of AKMU after I listen to 200% 😊 Glad to see you made a reaction video for AKMU❤

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...

akmu is amazinG!

I don't expect this one, to be honest. Thank you so much for reacting to akmu!

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

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 desperately need a Deep Dive episode for AKMU, I need you to love them 🧎🧎

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!

200% will always have a special place in my heart as it was the song that got me into K-pop.

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. 😂

Hands down one of the best discography in kpop❤

love akmu..crazy talented siblings. My fav song from them is time & fallen leaves..its a title track without mv

When I was in a really bad place, Akdong Musicians music helped me a lot! Their music will always be a happy place for me. Their debut album was my absolute favorite!

OMG AKMU IS FINALLY HERE

Akmu is my best buddies when I need to figure out myself all of there songs help me so so so much I love them

I'm so happy to see you enjoying AKMU so much! Their early songs just have this happy and refreshing sound to them, that you just can't help but vibe to! I've been following their carrer for a very long time, and I'm really glad that the industry has been quite kind to them music-wise. All of their songs have been quite popular in Korea - just proving how musically talented both of them are, and I really can't wait to see what else they will put out in the future.

AKMU is back to studios. Let's just prepare for new masterpiece

I miss AKMU, they were amazing, I hope they make a return eventually.

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

Welcome to AKMU world💚 they're amazing siblings.

Akmu are the hidden gems of kpop. Their songs are always a breath of fresh air.

Dinosaur and Rebye were on my on repeat playlist for YEARS

AKMU is my fav duo artis..i love to listen their harmony

Thank you for reacting to AKMU 🥰

Omg i love akmu thanks for checking them out

好久没看到akmu的反应了！！！！！！！我是china fan 我真的好喜欢他们 每个阶段的音乐 ！！！值得更多人看到的akmu！！！请多多关注他们吧 love you！！！

I'll always be happy to see people discovering Akmu. When you deep dive into their music you can't get out. They have such an amazing discography, I recommend you listen to " how can I live the heartbreak you're the one I love" the whole album is ballad and so beautiful. Also other songs of "next episode " album are so good. The girl in the first song "lee hi" is an amazing solo artist she left yg afew years ago but she's doing amazing solo now. Naaka has a live performance of akmu and iu. They were guest in iu's pallate show and performed it amazingly with live band. Another fun thing about akmu, they're so talented that in a TV show called "knowing brothers" they turned random sentences of random books into songs without any practice It was so fun and amazing

I forgot how much I love AKMU!

omg i can't believe you're reacting to them

Omg, it's so cool that you reacted to AKMU. They're both so talented. Since you also liked his voice (Lee Chanhyuk) a lot and liked how goofy he is, you should definitely check out his song+MV "Panorama" from his new akbum ERROR. It's a crazy good song, he isn't considered a genius for nothing ;))))
