Get ready for an emotional and revealing episode of tvN’s hit show You Quiz on the Block! In a highly anticipated preview, AKMU’s Suhyun opened up to host Yoo Jae Suk about overcoming a deep personal slump. She revealed that her brother Chanhyuk’s strict, Marine-style “mental training camp” was the ultimate cure ahead of their upcoming comeback.
Surviving Chanhyuk’s Extreme Mental Bootcamp
Sibling dynamics in K-pop are always fascinating, but AKMU takes it to a whole new level. To help Suhyun break free from her career slump, Chanhyuk channeled his intense Marine Corps background to create a rigorous support system. This disciplined mental training camp helped Suhyun regain her focus and confidence.
Fans can catch all the hilarious and touching details of their sibling bootcamp on You Quiz on the Block. The full interview will broadcast on April 1 at 8:45 p.m. KST on tvN.
Setting the Record Straight on Weight Loss Rumors
Along with her renewed mental health, Suhyun has undergone a noticeable physical transformation. This sparked widespread celebrity weight loss rumors, with some speculating she used the popular drug Wegovy. However, Suhyun firmly shut down these false claims during her appearance.
Instead of quick fixes, she credited her health journey to a strict exercise routine and healthy lifestyle habits. Unsurprisingly, her incredibly supportive—yet strict—brother Chanhyuk was there to guide her every step of the way.
A New Era: Leaving YG for Independence
AKMU’s upcoming return marks a massive shift in their career trajectory. In December, the beloved duo officially parted ways with YG Entertainment to take control of their own artistic destiny. Joining a growing industry trend, they established their very own independent label named Center of Inspiration.
This bold move gives the musical siblings complete creative freedom. It perfectly sets the stage for their highly anticipated next chapter as independent K-pop artists.
Prepare for ‘FLOWERING’
The wait for new AKMU music is almost over! The duo is set to release their fourth studio album, FLOWERING, on February 23. Incredibly, this marks their first full-length project in seven years.
- Album Title: FLOWERING
