The most talked about musicians on the most popular audition show in South Korea are also its youngest at just 13, (Bang Yedam) and a combined 29 for the two members of Akdong Musician, brother and sister, Lee Chan-hyeok and Lee Su-hyeon, who had been living in Mongolia when they joined the show:
Short-statured and long-haired Bang Yedam, has already been dubbed the Korean Justin Bieber by fans, while the first performance from Akdong Musician has attracted over 3.3 million views on Youtube, more than any other artist’s performance. Akdong Musician is also currently number 8 on Billboard’s K-Pop chart.
Bang Yedam and Akdong Musician had a popular combined performance in early January, during which Yedam practiced to sound like a young Michael Jackson:
And here is a translation of Akdong Musician’s most popular song, written and performed by themselves, ‘Don’t Cross Your Legs’:
From YouTube:
Akdong Musician – Don’t Cross Your Legs
Don’t cross your legs, don’t don’t cross them
Don’t cross your legs, don’t don’t cross them
Don’t cross your legs, don’t don’t cross them
(Lee Chan-hyeok sings)
You showed me your style and really got to me
You didn’t hide yourself, just lifted one leg and put it on the other
You crossed your legs, yes you did
Now my legs are falling asleep, feeling those pins and needles
(Lee Su-hyeon sings)
You showed me arrogance and really got to me
Made a tight fist, hit the desk with all you had
You crossed your legs, one on top the other
Now I’m losing all sensation, starting with my toes
Walking away with your nose in the air (Lee Chan-hyeok sings)
But I’m right, I can see it in your eyes(Lee Su-hyeon sings)
I know it’s useless to fight you, so I stretched out my legs but you kept yours crossed (Lee Chan-hyeok sings)
Go out in the city and you can see them
dresses and pants of every shape and color
In every one are a pair of irresistible legs
I see you sitting alone on a park bench with your legs crossed
looks like you’re waiting impatiently
But that’s not it
You’ve let your legs fall asleep
Don’t cross your legs, don’t don’t cross them
Don’t cross your legs, don’t don’t cross them
Don’t cross your legs, don’t don’t cross them
