Duo Akdong Musician's new album and title song, "200%" has toped the Gaon weekly chart.

Gaon revealed that Akdong Musician had topped the album, BGM, Streaming, download and digital comprehensive charts and showed their immense popularity.

Their title song also topped 7 music charts this week and gained much attention.

On the other hand, they left for Japan on April 14 to film their "Give Love" music video.

Akdong Musician is a South Korean duo, consisting of siblings Lee Chan-hyuk and Lee Soo-hyun. They are known as the winners of the second installment of the K-pop Star series, which is a music audition TV program in South Korea. Out of tens of thousands of applicants, the winner is chosen through a series of competition judged by a panel and audience voting. 

During this series of K-pop Star 2, the judges of the show, including BoA of SM Entertainment, Yang Hyun-suk of YG Entertainment, and Park Jin-young of JYP Entertainment, praised their vocal ability as well as their ability to write creative lyrics.

Since winning K-pop Star 2, Akdong Musician was signed to YG Entertainment, of which one of the judges of K-pop Star 2, Yang Hyun-suk, is the president.

Akdong Musician's new title song, "200%", also topped KT Music's Genie Chart. This song took the first place for 6 days, totaling 149 hours.

Its debut album also placed second in the Billboard's World Album Chart, following Ireland's cross-over group, Celtic Woman.

It is very refreshing to see an indie folk group to be taking over the Korean pop charts, in the midst of main stream pop artists such as 2NE1 and Girls' Generation. Although major label produced albums are the main focus of Korean pop music, bands like Akdong Musician are bringing creativity back to the scene to the market that is full of commercial based music that has been infiltrating the ever so evolving K-Pop scene.
