AKMU ‘NEXT EPISODE’ TRAILER:

Watching the trailer, all is definitely as it seems. We first see member Chanhyuk sitting on a sofa at a house party. With everyone partying around him without a care in the world, he sits there stationary, bored out of his mind as if he knows something’s up. This cuts to scenes of a girl left unconscious in a flipped car crash, and member Suhyun, dressed in a classy shade of red, dropping a dollhouse from her hands to crash onto the floor. Kids seem to be cautious around each other in a post-apocalyptical world as the duo wander around the barren landscape. As the video cuts to Chanhyuk freefalling from the sky, behind mountains and into the water, the teaser ends with with him falling to the floor at the house party.

Throughout the teaser, an intense and increasing tempo of a beat plays in the background, giving the teaser a sense of anticipation and rush. Whether this is featured as part of one of the tracks in the album or is simply used for effect is unknown.

At the end of the teaser, we see a list of 7 tracks with their titles and featured artists listed. It was also confirmed that all 7 tracks will have their own music videos. They are as follows:
