In order to well express the unique feel of the jazz pop genres of the song, the music video of “RE-BYE” was produced like a musical, with the time background of 1910’s in France. Since it is a wholly new music video of a wholly new mood that has never been presented by AKMU before, music fans are already expressing high expectations for it.


CHAN HYUK and SUHYUN act as detectives who got inside a theater undercover, in order to catch a criminal who is trying to hurt an actress! CHAN HYUK disguises himself as a supporting actor of the musical and SUHYUN acts as an assistant for the main actress of the musical.

There was another welcome fact at the shooting of “RE-BYE”s music video. That was LEE SUNG KYUNG! LEE accepted the suggestion for acting in AKMU’s music video without any hesitation, according to insiders. AKMU and LEE met each other long time after their co-appearance in a TV commercial. They had pleasant time together from before the beginning of the shooting, chatting in each other’s room.

LEE SUNG KYUNG appears in the music video to act as the main actress. Insiders say that she looked perfect in the Mata Hari outfit (produced by EMK Musical Company) for the background of the musical – France in the 1990’s! EMK Musical Company which actually produces musicals and LEE SUNG KYUNG cooperated with one another for AKMU’s music video, to create beautiful scenes that perfectly depict a splendid actress in the 1990’s.

The shooting of the music video lasted for 48 hours. CHAN HYUK was not feeling well because of cold, but he fully unveiled his talent in acting on cue from the director. SUHYUN presented a realistic acting of being scolded by LEE SUNG KYUNG in a makeup room scene, to surprise staff.

The scene for which CHAN HYUK has put the biggest effort was an unexpected one – the shooting scene! He got lessons for how to grab a gun and how to make pose for shooting from a male staff member who had completed his mandatory military service, saying he wanted to show a bold appeal to fans! You can see courageous solider CHAN HYUK in the music video. Look, how good his pose is!

Another interesting point in the music video of “RE-BYE” is a bunch of beautiful and unique clothes! Notably, SUHYUN had to wear more costumes than any other occasions. From a cute detective outfit to fancy dress, SUHYUN perfectly expressed the beauty of each outfit! With the opportunity to witness SUHYUN’s different appeals in a variety of costumes, the music video of “RE-BYE” will be a great gift for fans.
