Starting in February of 2023, KBS premiered a brand new project: a music talk show called "The Seasons". The program was only set to last one year with a format of rotating hosts. These hosts would act as representatives of various seasons, bringing their own unique flair to the program. It was recently announced that iconic soloist Lee HyoRi would be taking the mantle as the final host for the last installment of "The Seasons".
While audiences are hyped to see Lee HyoRi's version of "The Seasons" come to life, many continue to replay the various scenes of "The Seasons: Long Day, Long Night With AKMU". Led by the sibling duo AKMU, there were countless moments of laughter, joy, and incredible artistry. With its conclusion just a few weeks prior and a new installment of "The Seasons" just on the horizon, it seems right to revisit some parts of the show that have left viewers in constant awe.
Here are some unforgettable performances from "The Seasons: Long Day, Long Night With AKMU".
Note: this list is in no specific order.
1. 'Rewrite The Stars' With EXO's D.O.

Their voices blend together perfectly, creating a harmonious melody that only the two artists are able to produce. It has been a few months since, but fans still cannot get over this short, yet mesmerizing duet.
2. 'MOVE' By SHINee's TaeMin
With the release of 'Guilty' last year, TaeMin topped the charts and proved once more that he's in a tier all on his own.

From dominating the stage to moving out into the crowd, TaeMin truly showed what it means to be a worldwide superstar while continuing to maintain a humble spirit.
3. 'Lee ChanHyuk' By Bang YeDam
Bang YeDam and AKMU go way back, appearing on the same season of SBS' "K-Pop Star".

In a self-written track titled 'Lee ChanHyuk', Bang YeDam pokes fun at his hyung in the most melodic way possible. The lyrics are incredibly witty, hilarious, and oddly addictive all at the same time, a feat made possibly due to the close nature of his relationship with the sibling duo.

Park shows what he's like in peak condition, receiving countless applause and nods of respect from everyone.
