AKMU’s New Album Revealed… “A Simple Love Story”

AKMU has confirmed their comeback on June 3rd, revealing hints about the new album’s concept.

YG Entertainment posted on their official social media on the 22nd: ‘AKMU – ‘LOVE EPISODE’ ANNOUNCEMENT’. The announcement included an emotional motion teaser reminiscent of an impressionist painting, exciting fans eagerly anticipating this comeback.

The teaser captured attention with a red heart embroidered over a blue field and the sky. A paper airplane circled around, and one by one, letters were inscribed following its trajectory, completing the album title ‘LOVE EPISODE’.

Responses highlight AKMU’s warm emotional touch. Their unique musicality has been well-received by both the public and critics alike, following the refreshing ‘SUMMER EPISODE’ from the summer of 2017 and the philosophically rich ‘NEXT EPISODE’ from 2021.

This new release, the third chapter in the ‘EPISODE’ series, is expected to feature new songs themed around love, as the title suggests. YG stated, “We’ve captured stories that anyone can enjoy simply and comfortably with AKMU’s unique emotional depth,” encouraging high expectations.

Meanwhile, celebrating their 10th debut anniversary this year, AKMU will host the ‘2024 AKMU 10th Anniversary Concert <10VE> on June 15-16 at the KSPO DOME (Olympic Gymnastics Arena) in Bangi-dong, Seoul Olympic Park. In August, they are also scheduled to perform at Japan’s largest music festival, ‘Summer Sonic 2024’, meeting with global fans.
