[News] Akdong Musician and Lee Hi Off to Japan for Fun

Akdong Musician and Lee Hi flew off to Japan for the purpose of becoming more comfortable with one another. The man who planned it all? YG's Yang Hyun suk, of course.
He announced via YG's official website 'From YG' that he is currently in Japan with Akdong Musician and Lee Hi.

He added, "Recently, Akdong Musician joked that Lee Hi is one person in YG they are not that comfortable with. And for myself, the three youngsters are the most difficult to get to know because of the age gap. So we used Daesung's Japan concert as an excuse to fly over here to hang out and spend quality time together."

"They went to Disneyland when we first arrived here and I tried to talk with them as much as possible during dinner. Granted they are so much younger than me and there is an undeniable gap, I think it was a fun time for all of us because they are just bright and energetic."

About album plans for Akdong Musician and Lee Hi, Yang told reporters that he will let them know in a few days.
