These include “Hey Kid, Close Your Eyes (with Lee Sun Hee),” “Bench (with Zion T.),” “Tictoc Tictoc Tictoc (with Beenzino),” “Next Episode (with Choi Jung Hoon),” “Stupid Love Song (with Crush)” and “Everest (with Sam Kim).”
A GAME-CHANGING COMEBACK
Marking their first 2021 comeback with a bang, AKMU caught the attention of K-Pop fans with their collaboration track “NAKKA.”
Filled with city pop touches, the track encourages everyone to love freely and without any fear. It is a beautiful love song which perfectly encapsulates what falling in love is truly all about.
Through its catchy beat, “NAKKA” brings a soft and chill atmosphere to any listener, making it the perfect song for any season.
Lines such “Ooh show how we love/Let’s show these people who are ready to laugh/That nothing can ruin us” and “Whether the place is burnt to the ground/Or a pit in flames/I told you I’d never leave you/When such a day comes” perfectly capture the essence of the song.
AKMU debuted in April 2014 as a sibling duo under YG Entertainment shortly after winning the famous competition show K-Pop Star 2. They recently renewed their contract with their existing agency for five years.
