[OSEN=정소영 기자] AKDONG MUSICIAN (AKMU) is coming back after one year and six months of absence from the music scene. The date of the team’s comeback has been confirmed to be May 4.
On April 25 at 10am, YG Entertainment unveiled teaser poster or AKMU’s new album on the company’s official blog. The title of the poster is “AKMU – ‘SPRING Vol.1 (思春記上)’ NEW ALBUM RELEASE’”.
The retro-style poster with a feel of innocence shows LEE CHANHYUK and LEE SUHYUN wearing school uniforms. Another poster released with the teaser poster also catches eyes, showing the AKMU brother and sister reading books.
Along with the title of the new album “AKMU SPRING” and “SPRING Vol.1 (思春記上)”, the date of comeback “May 4” is stated on the poster, raising fans’ anticipation for AKMU’s comeback. Notably, May 4 is LEE SUHYUN’s birthday, so the team’s comeback will be all the more meaningful. After the release of songs in the album on music-streaming websites on May 4, the album will be released off-line on the 9.
AKMU’s new album “SPRING” is an album like a complete collection of works created based on the objet of “books”. The works talk about interest in the world, excitement about dream and love, and concerns about ego. Rather than the adolescence of teenagers, the album is talking more about the “adolescence of thoughts” that comes to anyone at any age.
In their first album, AKMU who were children living in the forest took their first step into the world by “PLAY”ing with music. New album “SPRING” is the place where stories of those children begin in earnest in their everyday lives.
AKMU released their first full-length album “PLAY” in April 2014, to enjoy big popularity with songs of witty lyrics and innocent feel, including “200%” and “Give Love”. Therefore, the new album to be newly released is already drawing big attention.
