YG Entertainment officially announced on the 26th that it has signed a five-year renewal contract with AKMU’s Lee Chan-hyuk and Lee Soo-hyun. 
AKMU is a top-notch sibling duo that is recognized not only for popular popularity but also for musical artistry. AKMU, which received attention under the name of’Akdong Musician’ by appearing in SBS’K Pop Star’ Season 2 in 2012, made its official debut at YG in 2014.
Since then, they have become the strongest sound source in Korea by demonstrating their natural lyrics and composition skills amid YG’s full trust and support. Since they have produced numerous hit songs over the past 7 years, their moves have attracted great attention as they have emerged as a hot topic in the entertainment industry.
What is particularly noticeable about this renewal of YG and AKMU is that singers are often disbanded or moved to another agency so that after the 7-year contract period ends, the word is 7-year jinx. It is a common practice to reduce the burden on the contract period with a short-term contract of about 2 years, but in the case of AKMU, a long-term renewal of 5 years is signed. The position of the industry is that it is impossible without infinite trust in each other.
This is evident when listening to AKMU’s special re-contract impression.
AKMU Lee Chan-hyuk said, “Honestly, it is hard to find a company that gives our singers first as much as YG. For 7 years, it has been a company that has reliably supported us in the direction we want to go without any small friction or disagreement, and has led us well. Expressed infinite trust in.
In particular, AKMU’s Lee Soo-hyun’s impressions attract attention. Lee Soo-hyun said, “We did it when we retire, but we have never thought of leaving YG.”
YG said, “Although they are still young friends about AKMU, they are deeply thoughtful and very mature. It is true that all YG executives and employees were greatly moved by the news of AKMU’s long-term renewal.” As far as I have confirmed, YG will not spare more support for AKMU in the future, and I will do my best to help grow as an artist.”
YG and AKMU have continued a more stable and reassuring musical partnership through the renewal of the contract. As AKMU is always loved by the public for its high-quality music and strong sensibility, the new songs and active activities of the new songs to be released in 2021 are also raising expectations.
Meanwhile, YG is attracting attention as it is delivering good news one after another, such as signing a renewal contract with Kang Dong-won recently. YG includes outstanding global artists such as Kang Dong-won and AKMU, Big Bang, Black Pink, Xechskis, Winner, Icon, Treasure, etc. Many top actors belong.
