AKMU's Lee Chanhyuk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8asxySoKbTk
Never received formal musical training
Won an audition program after making songs for fun with his sister
After that, debuted with an album where he wrote and composed every single track, and it was a massive hit
Every single subsequent release, including various OSTs and commercial music!!!
He wrote and composed them all by himself and made them all successful
And he achieved all of this in his teens and early 20s
Since he never formally studied music, he doesn't even compose by writing sheet music
He writes lyrics using everything he feels as his subject matter
There was some ridicule, saying he wasn't "normal" or was "too different," but
With his two solo albums, he made the music industry
And even the general public accept his unique world
At the 2026 Korean Music Awards, he won Song of the Year, Pop Album, and Pop Song
By winning three awards, he reached a new peak once again
He really seems like a once-in-a-generation genius, and I'm even more excited for his future
Let's all look forward to the new AKMU album together...
