Musician sibling duo AKMU became the cover stars for the June issue of Arena Homme+.
For the cover pictorial created in collaboration with luxury watch and jewelry brand Cartier, AKMU showcased passionate energy through vibrant primary colors and bold patterns. Having completed their own unique narrative through music and albums, the duo created yet another story through this latest photoshoot.
During the accompanying interview, Lee Chan Hyuk and Lee Su Hyun shared their thoughts on their latest album, which received strong positive reactions.
Lee Chan Hyuk said, “I think everything aligned perfectly, even from a public perspective. It would have been enough if only we ourselves could enjoy AKMU blooming, but the fact that people also found our growth convincing and were even moved by the album is both surprising and something I’m grateful for.”
Lee Su Hyun added, “I had so much fun. I feel like it was my first time fully singing songs that I truly cherish with all my energy on stage.”
The duo also spoke about their relationship as siblings and teammates.
Lee Chan Hyuk explained, “Interestingly, our personalities are completely opposite. It really feels like a puzzle. What I lack, Su Hyun has, and what Su Hyun lacks, I have.”
Lee Su Hyun then shared her honest thoughts about maintaining the team dynamic, saying, “The moment we become jealous of each other, the team is over. No matter how hard my brother tries, he can’t sing like me, and no matter how hard I try, I can’t create music like him. We deeply respect the areas where we can never replace each other.”
AKMU’s full cover pictorial and interview with Cartier watch and jewelry pieces can be found in the June issue of Arena Homme+.
