Sibling duo Akdong Musician revealed their thoughts on releasing their new song at the same time as legendary artist Seo Taiji during a recent interview with OSEN on October 13. Both young talents revealed that they weren't at the stage yet to have their name put next to his.
Chan Hyuk said, "Senior Seo Taiji and we aren't even on the same level. We are not even on the level of calling this as a rivalry or competition with him. We are just starting out and have a lot to learn."
The younger sister Soo Hyun also added, "When I saw an article about our rivalry against him, I felt apologetic."
Despite Akdong Musician's humble comments their track "Time and Fallen Leaves" has been topping various music charts for four consecutive days. What's even more impressive was that the track was both written and produced by none other than Chan Hyuk.
Chan Hyuk said, "I was nervous because it was a different style of music than the first album. If I had to pick a similar song, then it would be 'Melted,' but because it was a different color, I didn't know how the general public would take it. Luckily, I was thankful that it garnered such big response. I was also nervous that people would think that we are 'pretending to be adults,' because of the different atmosphere of the song and the changes in our singing styles."
Soo Hyun also revealed her worries before releasing the new track when she said, "I kept asking people around me to listen to it. I made Lee Hi unnie and other representatives listen to the track and the majority of the responses were that it 'sounded like a mature version of Akdong Musician'."
Meanwhile, Akdong Musician will be holding their first tour concert, 'AKMU Camp' from November 21 to 23, starting at Seoul Blue Square Samsung Card Hall.
