Sibling duo AKMU's Lee Chan-hyuk and Lee Su-hyun are delighting fans with a video guiding them through concert fan chants. Rather than simply pointing out the parts to sing along to, the video combines a unique narrative structure with retro-style production, making the fan chant guide itself a piece of entertaining content.

The video, titled 'How to Really Enjoy an AKMU Concert,' contains various fan chants that audiences can participate in during the concert. After its release, viewers expressed surprise at the unexpected format and direction, while responding that it is content showcasing AKMU's signature personality.

■ "Feels like an elementary school educational video"... 480p retro vibe becomes a talking point

What caught fans' attention was the video's distinctive atmosphere. Some viewers said it reminded them of educational videos they watched at school as children or old foreign programs. The video's resolution, dubbing style, and even the actors' performances were seen as elements creating a nostalgic feel, with some saying it evoked a 1990s vibe. One viewer commented, "It feels like an educational video from elementary school English class," while another expressed fondness, saying it reminded them of the voices from foreign programs they encountered as children.

The fact that the video's maximum resolution is shown as 480p also became a topic. A comment mentioning this received around 1,800 likes, and other viewers also cited the 480p resolution as a fun characteristic. However, it has not been confirmed whether this resolution setting was an intentional choice by the production team.

Interest in the dubbing also continued. Comments repeatedly identified the voice of voice actor Nam Do-hyung. One viewer mentioned with amusement that Lee Chan-hyuk's dubbed voice was Nam Do-hyung's, and another viewer said they too recognized the identity of the familiar voice.

■ Fan chants told through a story..."I thought it was a fan-made video"

The way the fan chants were explained was also seen as differentiating the video from typical concert guide videos. Viewers said they expected a simple introduction of sing-along sections but found unexpected enjoyment in the story-driven format. One viewer said they were surprised because they thought it would be a video explaining fan chants, only to find a connected narrative, while another commented that they were curious about the video's planning proposal.

Some viewers left comments saying they thought it was a fan-made video and were surprised to learn it was official content. One viewer said it was unexpected that the video was released on the official account, and another responded that the video was more elaborate than expected.

Detailed observations of Lee Chan-hyuk and Lee Su-hyun in the video also stood out. One viewer found it amusing, mentioning Lee Chan-hyuk's reaction around the 4-minute-14-second mark related to Lee Su-hyun's solo part, while another praised the actors' performances. The expressions that repeatedly appeared in the comments were laughter, bewilderment, and affection.

■ From 'Paradise of Rumors' to 'Blemish'... A full rundown of fan chants by song

The fan chants featured in the video are also diverse. According to viewers' summaries, they include how to learn the choreography for 'Paradise of Rumors,' as well as audience participation sections in various songs such as 'Fall,' 'Sunlight Bless You,' 'Freedom,' 'Fry's Dream,' 'Bug,' and 'Blemish.' For 'Fall,' making sounds at specific moments was introduced, and for 'Freedom,' singing along to the repeated lyrics was the method. An audience participation section was also mentioned for 'Fry's Dream,' and for 'Blemish,' a fan chant using the lyrics in the latter part of the song drew attention.

One viewer summarized seven fan chants by song and commented that there was a lot to prepare, and the comment received around 1,000 likes, resonating with other fans. It is also notable that fans are treating the fan chants not merely as viewing instructions but as a way to actively participate in the performance.

However, some expressed concern about whether they could properly follow the fan chants at the actual concert venue. One viewer humorously described the possibility of participating alone, saying the fan chants are only fun when everyone joins in, and comments also appeared asking what introverted audience members should do. Conversely, one viewer who introduced themselves as a fan in their 50s responded positively, calling it a guide for audiences unfamiliar with concerts, saying that knowing the fan chants in advance would help them prepare for the show. This shows that fan chant videos can be meaningful not only for existing fans but also for audiences with little concert experience.

■ 14th place in the October Netizens' Awards Best Group category... Attention on ranking variables

AKMU, which displays originality not only in music but also in content planning, is also making its name in the October Netizens' Awards amid steady fan interest. As of the afternoon of the 23rd, AKMU is ranked 14th in the Best Group category. With various groups competing, it remains to be seen what ranking changes AKMU will show in the remaining period.

In particular, AKMU is a duo that has built its own domain based on the distinct personalities and musical harmony of its two members, Lee Chan-hyuk and Lee Su-hyun. The signature playfulness and creativity evident in this fan chant video are cited as one of the reasons fans love AKMU, and attention is focused on whether this charm will translate into fan support in the Netizens' Awards. As the October voting is still underway, the rankings could change depending on fan participation.

Attention is focused on AKMU's October moves — on how the enthusiasm of fans who sing together and bond at concerts will manifest in the Netizens' Awards, and on a duo that even weaves a unique story into something as simple as a fan chant guide.
