AKMU Lee Su Hyun, “I thought about retirement during a slump but gained back courage thanks to my brother”
AKMU Lee Su Hyun confessed that she suffered a slump serious enough to make her think of retiring.
AKMU guested on the August 27th broadcast of JTBC’s “Newsroom” and revealed various stories. They recently released their fourth single “Love Lee”.
Lee Su Hyun shared, “I felt relieved when I first listened to ‘Love Lee’. Whenever I said I wanted to sing a song like ‘200%’ again, my brother would say he did not have that emotion. But ‘Love Lee’ really has a similar vibe to ‘200%’. I was very happy knowing that he still has such an emotion.”
Lee Chan Hyuk explained, “I’ve been ignoring cuteness in me, but as I dug into it more deeply, I realized that it was still there. I approached it more closely and found out that it was like a compressed file so I unpacked it”. Lee Su Hyun added, “We did not smile at all in our previous album but it’s great to be able to smile happily during this promotion”. Lee Chan Hyuk also said that he thought about his sister Lee Su Hyun’s singing style while producing the song.
In addition, Lee Su Hyun confessed that she suffered a slump before. She shared, “Two years ago, I faced a slump that I even thought about retiring”, adding “My brother gave me a lot of courage. He said he would make songs that I could enjoy while singing them this time. He said he wanted me to feel happy while carrying out activities so I became more confident. I received a lot of positive energy within the past few years. I’m happy that we finally made a comeback”.
Lee Chan Hyuk also expressed affection for his younger sister, saying “I hope we can make many good songs, sing, and do many music activities together for a long time”. Hearing that, Lee Su Hyun replied, “I’m always grateful to my brother for helping me through the hard times. I will try my best to make music and promote happily.”
