AKMU goes independent with their longtime manager, performing a congratulatory song at their manager's wedding today

AKMU is officially going independent alongside their long-time manager, with Lee Chanhyuk singing a congratulatory song at the manager's wedding today - symbolizing their close bond.

According to Sports Chosun, Lee Chanhyuk will be performing at the wedding of AKMU's longterm manager on December 27, with his sister Lee Suhyun attending as a guest.

This wedding performance signifies the first step on AKMU's new path. AKMU left YG one month ago, with many speculating that the musician duo would choose to start their own company together. It has now been revealed that AKMU will be working alongside their former YG manager in their future endeavors, with Lee Chanhyuk's performance at the manager's wedding symbolizing their first official collaboration since going independent.

It has also been confirmed that Lee Chanhyuk has prepared an unusually elaborate performance for the wedding, including backup singers, a saxophone player, and a choreographer. The performance is expected to resemble a small concert performance, rather than a simple wedding song.

Meanwhile, AKMU is a brother-sister musician duo that debuted in 2014 after winning the audition show "K-pop Star 2." They have built up their legacy through multiple hit songs such as 'Love Lee,' 'DINOSAUR,' 'Give Love,' and '200%.' Recently, they decided to leave YG Entertainment after 12 years, challenging themselves by starting a new chapter of their careers. During this process, YG executive Yang Hyunsuk reportedly offered the members heartfelt support. The members, in turn, expressed their gratitude, saying, "We will forever be part of the YG family."
