AKMU's Lee Chan-hyuk and Lee Su-hyun will appear as solo guests on MBC's variety show Point of Omniscient Interfering on October 31 at 11:10 p.m. KST, according to My Daily. The episode will reveal how their concert Rumor of Paradise was made, along with a look at the siblings' shared dorm.
What will AKMU show on Point of Omniscient Interfering?
According to My Daily, the duo will be the show's second solo guests, following Lissene. The episode will tell the story behind Rumor of Paradise, the first concert they held after going independent. The report says the show was a social media talking point and drew 30,000 attendees.
Viewers will see the stage set built to realize the paradise the duo had imagined, along with its detailed world-building. The backstage segment will show how Lee Chan-hyuk personally shaped everything from a rock on the stage to each concert guide, per the report.
The episode will also open up the siblings' shared dorm. Planned sights include an exercise room that helped Lee Su-hyun with her diet, a singing room, and Lee Chan-hyuk's room, which he calls an inspiration charging station. His vintage car, reflecting his love of retro style, will also appear. My Daily says the pair's bickering, true-to-life sibling chemistry is expected to be another highlight.
Why did AKMU leave YG, and what is the new label?
My Daily reports that Lee Chan-hyuk and Lee Su-hyun left their agency after 12 years since debut and announced a new start at their own label, called Fountain of Inspiration. Lee Chan-hyuk is described as the head of that label. The concert was the first they held after becoming independent.
How much did the concert tickets cost?
The concert drew a price controversy before it opened, according to My Daily. Here is how the prices compare with the 2024 10th anniversary concert, 10VE, held at the same KSPO Dome.
| Seat type | 2024 (10VE) | This year | |---|---|---| | VIP | 154,000 won | 176,000 won | | R | 132,000 won | 165,000 won | | Restricted view | 121,000 won | 154,000 won |
Critics also pointed out that this year's restricted-view price matches the 2024 VIP price.
Why did the concert get good reviews?
My Daily says the criticism turned into praise once the show began. The duo used a 360-degree circular stage, large video screens, and staging with a real car, making it enjoyable for the eyes as well as the ears. The outlet also noted that organizers arranged a jazz performance in the waiting area for standing-ticket fans who had to wait a long time.
