Why They're Hot: A year after winning Korea's American Idol-esque competition K-pop Star 2, brother-sister duo Akdong Musician hit the scene with their debut full-length Play in April 2014. Produced, composed and written entirely by 18-year-old Chan-hyuk, the harmony-heavy folk-pop album saw immediate domestic success with the ultra-catchy lead single "200%,” which ruled at No. 1 for two weeks on the K-Pop Hot 100. The duo also earned top 10 hits with their second and third singles, the peppy "Give Love” (No. 3) and melancholic ballad "Melted” (No. 8). And Play felt love stateside, hitting No. 20 on Billboard's Heatseekers Albums chart -- a rare feat for a new K-pop act -- and snagging a No. 2 slot on World Albums.

Wow, the OG T-ARA line up would've been such a slay.
How the hell did they find all these lazy extras? Minus Boram because she serves so much with Sugar Free/Sexy Love.
Random thought, but I think it has validity. With Ailee around, there is never really a need for a Tiffany (SNSD) solo debut, is there? They have similar style but Ailee delivers that kind of sassy attitude through her music better, she has equal (if not better) vocals and her performance skills are definitely better. I could see Tiffany try something like this (like a solo TTS) for her fated debut, but it wouldn't be as good, would it?
Maybe the MV, with SM's cash? If they would even keep her as a solo act that is...

It's cute, but all her title tracks sounds like they're made from one writing session. I'mma need some variety. Give it to mama, Ailee
She technically has better vocals than Mi Young, six notes more in fact, like two shy of a whole 'nother octave.

She better put it all out.
They're releasing this in Korea, like in movie theaters? Or is it a once off kind of thing? Quite random... especially what happened with ZE:A...?
[+10,891, -173] CL is the best. Tiffany, Hyorin, IU, Ailee, Taeyon have nothing on her. She is a great entertainer and I never have to worry about her being too sexual.

Not when Cyell is the third most popular member, if Manzy wasn't such a bore it would be fourth
