YG Entertainment announced AKMU’s 10th Anniversary Project. In doing so, AKMU’s official fandom name was revealed for the first time in 10 years since their debut! AKMU’s fandom is called “AKKADEMY,” a combination of the two words “AKMU” and “ACADEMY.”

Their fandom name means an organization that is at the center of art. Similarly, the vintage concept of the posters included an emblem that resembled the imagery we see in schools.

While AKMU debuted on April 7, 2014, with the first full-length album, PLAY, after winning SBS K-pop Star 2, the duo did not have an official fandom name until now.

AKMU’s global fan club membership is available through Weverse Shop, from March 21 at 2 p.m. KST until April 4.
