Akdong Musician & Lee Hi - YG Hits Home Runs With Both ‘K-Pop Star’ Musicians

YG Entertainment has hit homeruns back to back with 2 "K-Pop Star" singers Akdong Musician and Lee Hi.

Akdong Musician and Lee Hi started a relationship with YG Entertainment through SBS' "K-Pop Star". Lee Hi was the runner up of the 1st season, and Akdong Musician was the season 2 winner. Both joined the YG Family after appearing on the show.

Since their debuts, both have released hit albums, and are taking great strides towards success. Lee Hi debuted first, and she really shone as one of the most prominent singers on "K-Pop Star". Akdong Musician just released their debut album, and are being praised for their musical talent.

Lee Hi came to know Yang Hyun Suk in season 1 of "K-Pop Star". She was repeatedly praised by the judges for her deep soulful unique vocals, despite her young age.

This runner-up then officially debuted with YG, and every song she's released since then has taken an all kill across music charts. She of course took an all kill with her debut song "1, 2, 3, 4" and swept all the music programs, dominating the music scene with a surprising force for 3 weeks. Thereafter, her 1st solo album double title song "It's Over" also shot straight to the top of music charts. She earned herself the nickname of 'monster rookie' with her success. In March last year she also released the song "Rose", which recorded an all kill in just 3 hours of its release.

Akdong Musician is also raising their victory flag after they released their debut album Play on April 7th. In just 2 hours of their album release, they took the number 1 spot on 9 music charts, including the main music source site MelOn, as well as Mnet, Bugs, Soribada, and others. Not only that, the other remaining songs also ranked high on music charts and demonstrated a line-up phenomenon. What's even more amazing is the fact that Akdong Musician's own Lee Chan Hyuk self-composed all of the songs on this album. Akdong Musician is currently capturing the hearts of all their listeners with their healthy and pure music.

Akdong Musician's popularity isn't limited by Korea's borders; even overseas fans are celebrating their new album. After their album release, they rose to the number 1 spot on 5 overseas iTunes Album Charts, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, and Singapore.

Akdong Musician also performed live at the 'Akdong Musician Play in Cafe' on the 9th, hosted by Naver Music at one cafe in Seoul.
