It is a prerelease with a performance on one of Asia's biggest variety shows.

R&Bxo is the concept they need to stick with.

They're getting my coins for this mini.

[OSEN=손남원 기자] The sibling duo AKDONG MUSICIAN (AKMU) who brought a sensation to the music world this spring is said to have left for Japan urgently in the morning of April 14. All the attention is on AKMU as no YG artists were scheduled to perform in Japan at the beginning of the week. So what was the reason for their departure?

YG kick started the YG FAMILY CONCERT in great success last week in Japan’s Osaka Dome. As AKMU knocked down all charts and even received a nickname “national siblings,” YG excluded them from the entire concert because the agency thought focusing on domestic promotion is more important than going overseas for a concert.

Thus it is hard to predict why the siblings left for Japan. It would not be right to think they are being rewarded to have a holiday as the two newbies discovered on K-Pop Star brought huge success after LEEHI. They are still sweeping the charts with flying colors and are being flooded with offers to appear on music and other TV programs.

Moreover, YG’s founder YANG HYUN SUK once mentioned that the song that becomes most popular for the one week after the album release will become the final title track along with “200%” and “MELTED.” As promised, YG unveiled that the 3rd title track is “GIVE LOVE.”

According OSEN’s report, AKMU’s reason for going to Japan was to film the music video of “GIVE LOVE.” Keeping in mind YANG’s usual audacious promotional methods, this is nothing new. He is keeping the promise of letting the public choose the final title track, and immediately chose a foreign location for filming the music video.

It is unconventional and unprecedented to film all three title songs’ music videos in such a grand scale for a newly debuted artist. Considering that entertainment agencies invest hundreds of million won on one music video, once can assume the power of YG’s vigorous promotions.

This is also a proof of YANG’s affection for the duo. According to YG’s personnel, YANG personally came up with the idea to let the fans decide the final title songs, and also decided to send AKMU to Japan for music video filming.

AKMU would not be going to Japan immediately after the 3rd title track has been confirmed, if it wasn’t for YANG’s passionate will to accomplish these.

as long as it's not some Japan promo...

Welp, I still need to vote in the game!

I hope EXO's mini leaks to teach SM a lesson

The problem is they are from the big three with a somewhat established nature as it is their third single and they can't even destroy the charts while HIGH4 company is N.A.P and they are doing great better than them.

When it comes to rookie, I expect them to have huge chart success so they don't die off after a month or two or weird changes occur with the group. And also have grudge against Park Jimin. She was part of the reason Supearls disbanded.

i'm inclined to agree that we're post-big-3 now.

Does anyone give a **** this deeply? 15&'s song is GOOD and is a hit on the charts. Like anyone was expecting them to break the streak for JYP. Even miss A couldn't do that.
