Article: Akdong Musician releases 'Give Love' MV, reversal ending with 'yellow ribbon' appearance at the end
Source: W Star News via Naver 1. [+1,952, -53] Akdong Musician, 2000 won... We always thought Superstar K would be the top of the audition programs but it's losing what made it special. I guess being a K-Pop Star contestant is the trend now. 2. [+1,425, -32] This is why I love AkMu... the song is so good. 3. [+1,168, -24] Looking forward to great promotions 4. [+961, -25] The music video's cute and great~~ song's awesome too! Promote lots~ 5. [+892, -26] Lovely. AkMu cuties. 6. [+156, -11] A well made music video! I didn't even expect the yellow ribbon at the end but it really touched me. Do well! 7. [+146, -8] I respect how YG allows their younger singers to not only compose their own songs but support them so that they can focus only on that. Other companies usually debut their rookies with a composer from their company or some other weird song composed by someone else and ignore any talent that they may have but YG supports their artists so that they can really blossom with their skills. Idols need to stop practicing synchronized choreography and at least learn how to compose songs that they'll be singing. 8. [+123, -3] AkMu + Ulala + Busker = the best of audition programs Source: NETIZENBUZZ AKDONG MUSICIAN(AKMU), a duo of a brother and sister, has been taking the No.1 in Mnet’s “M-Countdown” for three weeks in a row. Music show “M-Countdown” has been unbroadcast for those three weeks.
“M-Countdown” decided not to air the show for three weeks, in token of sorrow over the recent ferry accident. However, “M-Countdown” disclosed the ranking of music for the last week of April on its official website, on the 2 this month. On the “M-Countdown” chart as of May 1, AKMU’s “200%” is staying in the first place, as it did in the previous two weeks. In the second place, Apink’s “Mr.Chu” is placed as in the previous week, too. Lee Sun Hee’s “Meet Him Among Them” took the third place, going up one notch from the previous week, and 15&’s “Can’t Hide It”, which had been ranked in the third place in the previous week, took the fourth place, being pushed down by Lee Sun Hee’s new song. “I Just Loved You”, a song of new singer Sihwan Park who was the runner-up of “Super Star K Season 5”, is placed in the fifth place, drawing much attention. The rank of “M-Countdown” is calculated by reflecting 50% from “music score” and 10% from each of “album score”, “social media score”, “preference score”, “broadcasting score”, and the result of “texting vote during live broadcasting”. Because the show was not aired on April 24, the broadcasting score and text vote score were not included in the calculation. Meanwhile, “M-Countdown” has not been aired for three weeks from April 16, instead, “Live-Broadcast Music” with rather calm music and performance was aired on May 1. Source: YG-LIFE [NEWS] MUSIC VIDEO OF AKMU’S “GIVE LOVE” HAS BEEN DISCLOSED… WITH EYE-CATCHING HAPPY ENDING”5/2/2014 AKDONG MUSICIAN (AKMU), a duo of a brother and sister (LEE CHAN HYUK & LEE SOO HYUN) has disclosed the music video of “GIVE LOVE”, the third title track of their debut album.
At 9am on the 2 this month, AKMU’s label YG Entertainment (“YG”) disclosed the music video of “GIVE LOVE”, which was shot in Okinawa, Japan, on its official blog. The story of the new music video is linked with the story of “200%”’s music video. “200%” is one of the three title tracks of AKMU’s debut album. In the music video, the sweet love story between LEE SOO HYUN and a handsome boy played by Nam Joo Hyuk is found to be a dream. Plus, the story has a twist at the end, as the fact that he actually had a girlfriend is revealed. Inevitably, LEE SOO HYUN just watches the boy who she loves and his girlfriend, to eventually become a friend of the girl. Then, one day, LEE SOO HYUN finds out that the boy and the girl are actually a brother and sister. Finally, LEE SOO HYUN becomes the boy’s real girlfriend. The music video shows such a happy ending after an interesting twist. The music video of “GIVE LOVE” is a kind of sequel to the music video of “200%”. It was produced by director Yongi, like the music video of “200%”. Plus, YG put a “yellow ribbon” at the end of the music video, to express its sorrow over the recent ferry accident, which is drawing a big attention. Meanwhile, “GIVE LOVE” is a love song with a uniquely exciting rhythm. AKMU was inspired by the words “GIVE LOVE” written on a heart that is needed for a smartphone game, to create this song. The song talks about a girl who does not accept a boy’s love even though he has given all his love to her. He says that he wants to borrow more love to give her. Notably, “GIVE LOVE” has been enjoying a great popularity among music fans upon the release of AKMU’s debut album, to be selected as the third title track of the album, following “200%” and “MELTED”.

Countdown's chart unveiled on the 2nd, Akdong Musician ranked #1 with "200%" for the third consecutive week. This doesn't come as much of a surprise as Akdong Musician's "200%", "Melted", and "Give Love" have been ranking high on music charts ever since their debut on April 7, a remarkable feat for rookies. They were followed by A Pink's "Mr. Chu" at #2, Lee Sun Hee's "Meet Him Among Them" at #3, 15&'s "Can't Hide It" at #4, and Park Si Hwan's "I Just Loved You" at #5. Congrats on your winning streak, Akdong Musician!

On May 1, Gaon Chart disclosed its digital chart for the first week of May (Apr. 20 – Apr. 26). AKMU’s title track “200%” is placed in the top place on the chart. AKMU’s “200%” that was released on April 7 also took the No.1 of the digital chart in the second week of April. However, in the third week in April, 15&’s “Can’t Hide It” claimed the No.1, pushing “200%” down to the second place. One week later, AKMU’s “200%” reclaimed the No.1 again for the fourth week of April. Below “200%” there are HIGH4 & IU’s “Not Spring, Love, or Cherry Blossoms” in the second place and 15&’s “Can’t Hide It” in the third. According to Gaon’s insiders, “there has been only few release of new songs recently, because all the music people are mourning over the ferry accident. There is no single new song in the top 10 on Gaon’s weekly chart”. Meanwhile, “A Thousand Winds”, a memorial song dedicated by popera tenor Lim Hyungjoo to the victims of the accident, has entered Gaon’s digital weekly chart at the 33rd place.

Park and Yang Hyun Suk bet on who wins #1 between their ‘K-Pop Star’ protegees, 15& and Akdong Musician
On the May 1st broadcast of MBC FM4U’s ‘Kim Shin Young’s Noon Song of Hope’,Park Ji Min revealed she wants to meet Akdong Musician in person, “Although I never met Akdong Musician, I honestly hope that we meet at the broadcast stations.” She also revealed a fun behind-the-scenes story, “J.Y. Park and Yang Hyun Suk bet on who will win #1. We didn’t say anything, but J.Y. Park told me, ‘You have to win.’” Kim Shin Young jokingly commented, “The kids are usually nice, but there are cases when their school parents fight.” It seems Yang Hyun Suk won with Akdong Musician’s winning streak on music shows with their debut song “200%”, but 15& also topped digital music charts, making it hard to discern who won. Source: AKP Among the rookie singers that have debuted this year, there are two that catches the eye: sibling duo Akdong Musician (Lee Chan Hyuk, Lee Soo Hyun) and Eddy Kim.
Although their music styles are different, they do have a few things in common: the fact that they are alumni of audition programs, have recieved full support from their agencies, gained the trust of their CEOs, and that they are singer-songwriters. Akdong Musician won SBS’ “K-Pop Star Season 2” last year. The siblings signed with YG Entertainment and made their official debut on April 7. The surprising thing was that Lee Chan Hyuk composed the entire 11 tracks, which make up AKMU’s first album. He utilized his talent, which he displayed during the audition program presenting the K-Pop world with “listening music.” The group swept various music charts attracting even more attention, and its streak continues after two weeks since the release of its album. Eddy Kim is also a graduate of an audition program. He competed in Mnet’s “Superstar K Season 4” in 2012. His musical charm was so distinctive that he was named as a front-runner in the competition. Since the show, Eddy Kim signed with MYSTIC 89 with Yoon Jong Shin as the CEO and has been working on his album. The product of his hard work was finally released on April 11. It was originally decided that “Push & Pull” would be his title song, but due to the positive response of the fans towards “The Manual,” his agency decided on a double title. “Two Years Apart,” which Eddy Kim previously performed on “Superstar K Season 4,” also gained attention once again as the track was included in his debut album. Despite the fact that they are both rookies, AKMU and Eddy Kim have debuted with music they created. Both artists are expected to receive much attention as they present K-Pop fans with their own music different from the stereotypical music and performance. Source: Soompi |
