AKMU's live performance of 'Flowering' at 'Akkademy Listening Session 2026' is receiving a warm response from fans. Rather than simply listening to the music, the scenes of the audience moving and laughing together have led to a series of assessments calling it 'healing.'

■ "Suhyun Looks Happy"... Fans Smile at Lee Suhyun's Bright Appearance

The most notable reactions in the comments on the released video concerned Lee Suhyun's bright appearance. One fan wrote, "This is a video that makes me so happy because Suhyun looks happy," and other overseas fans also expressed how glad they were to see Lee Suhyun looking happy.

Praise for Lee Suhyun's voice followed as well. Fans said they felt comforted just from watching her sing. Overseas fans mentioned Lee Suhyun's voice alongside Lee Chanhyuk's musical work, highly praising AKMU's unique color.

■ 'Collective Healing' Everyone Joined In... A Stage Completed by Audience Participation

On this stage, the movements and atmosphere that allowed the audience to participate left a strong impression. One overseas fan described how choreography that everyone in the audience could follow on the spot made the performance feel like a 'collective healing' space. Domestic fans also commented, after watching everyone bouncing with happy faces, that they felt "the power of the song."

Reviews from fans who experienced the event in person also drew attention. One audience member recalled holding hands with people around them, moving and laughing together despite the hot weather, saying they would never forget the happy atmosphere of that moment. They added that the emotions felt on-site were even greater than what appeared in the video.

■ "The Lyrics Are Beautiful Like Poetry"... Praise for the Lyricism of AKMU's Music

Reactions to the lyricism of AKMU's music, including 'Flowering,' continued. One fan said that listening to Lee Chanhyuk's lyrics reminded them of song lyrics from the past that were as beautiful as poetry, describing AKMU's music itself as a form of life 'healing.' Another fan evaluated the listening session stage as warm, free, and fairy-tale-like in atmosphere.

There were also many reactions from overseas fans. Comments included "The music has matured over time, but its distinctive sparkle remains," and "The whole album feels free and healing," with fans from the United States, Indonesia, and other regions mentioning AKMU's stage and atmosphere.

The impression left by the 'Flowering' live stage was closer to moments of laughing, moving, and sharing music together than flashy production. The assessment is that Lee Suhyun's voice, Lee Chanhyuk's music, and the audience's participation overlapped in a single scene, completing the atmosphere of what fans call 'a listening session true to AKMU.'
