On July 26, AKMU held an online showcase for the duo's new album 'NEXT EPISODE'.

Lee Su-hyun said, "After the song was made, we thought about the best way to deliver our message to the public. We wanted the song to reach their hearts."
She continued, "As many awaited for AKMU and IU's collaboration as well, we believed this was the right time to ask IU if we could finally work together. She said yes right away."

Lee Su-hyun said, "My brother is really strict with me when we record songs. When directing me, he turns pretty scary."
She resumed, "But when he was recording IU's parts, he was smiling, raising his thumb up to IU and stuff."
With a bitter smile, she added, "Well, I felt kind of sad about it, but I know how great she is so I understood why he treated us so differently."

He went on, "That's why I left all the interpretations of the lyrics to them, and let them express their emotions as they wanted to. That made it easy to work together."
