AKMU, formerly Akdong Musician, is a South Korean duo consisting of siblings Lee Chan-hyuk and Lee Su-hyun signed to their own independent label Cemter of Inspiration, translated from "Yeonggam-ui Saemteo" which is also the name of an exhibition previously held by Chan-hyuk in 2023 and 2025. As prominent figures of South Korea, their musical impact in their native country has earned them numerous accolades and the honorific title "The Nation's Siblings". They are also cited as "musical prodigies" and "geniuses". Propelled to national stardom through the second installation of K-pop Star, AKMU officially debuted in April 2014 with Play, a studio album solely crafted by Lee Chan-hyuk alone. It topped the Gaon Album Chart, became their first entry on Billboard, namely the Heatseekers Albums Chart and the World Albums Chart, and spawned the three titular singles, "200%", "Give Love", and "Melted". It was well received by the public and critics, having sold more than 6.9 million downloads, and was awarded Best Pop Album in the 12th Korean Music Awards.
