Pre-Release Offers Glimpse into Second Solo Album's Narrative 

AKMU's Lee Chanhyuk surprised fans on July 11th with the unexpected release of the music video for "Crazy" (돌아버렸어), offering a preview of the narrative from his upcoming second solo album "EROS." According to YG Entertainment on July 12th, "Crazy" serves as the second track on the album and features an appealing progression of bright glockenspiel over 1980s-90s synthesizers and band sounds. 

The song showcases Chanhyuk's characteristic wit through onomatopoeia, expressing both a crazy world and his own state of mind, creating another point of connection with listeners. 

Artistic Music Video with Deep Symbolism 

The music video fully captures the song's message with film-like completion that invites repeated contemplation. Chanhyuk appears trapped among unique objects including a lone peacock in a tunnel, giant air hoses, aquariums, boxes, and densely packed buildings, constantly rotating to stimulate the imagination. 

Chanhyuk's immersive performance of hollow lyrics like "spinning round and round," "just went crazy," and "a clown who lost his way" proves particularly striking. His eyes filled with anguish and confusion, along with tangled, agitated movements, maintain a precarious atmosphere until the end, leaving a profound impression.

Innovative Direction and Artistic Excellence 

The video represents perfect synergy between Chanhyuk's original artistry and fresh directorial techniques. While intuitive, the unconventional scene arrangements—including credits that flow during the development like breaking existing grammar—and the dreamlike visual aesthetics make it impossible to look away, while building anticipation for the title track "Vivid La La Love" music video. 

Album Details and Release Information 

Lee Chanhyuk's second solo album "EROS" will be released on July 14th at 6 PM. The album contains nine tracks in sequence: "SINNY SINNY," "Crazy," title track "Vivid La La Love," "TV Show," "Endangered Love," "Eve," "Andrew," "Tail," and "Shining World." 

While his previous album "ERROR" examined life through "my death," "EROS" reportedly begins its story from "the death of others," promising an expanded musical universe that fans eagerly anticipate.
