The artist this time is…

LED Apple

LED Apple is an idol rock band like FT Island and CN Blue. While those two bands are under FNC Music, LED Apple is under STARKIM Entertainment.

The “LED” used to stand for “Logic Egoism Delete,”, (which became the title of their first album), but since that didn’t really make any sense, they began referring to it as a LED light, and promoted the tagline “shining as brightly as LED whenever performing” instead. Supposedly, it also pays homage to Led Zepplin, which some of the band members view as a role model, but… I’m kind of skeptical about that haha.
The “Apple” part is just referring to their freshness, since, you know, people consider apples to be fresh.

Their debut was in  October 6, 2010 and instead of coming up with a new song, they remade a popular old one. Baek Ji-young’s “Dash,” had a whole new sound through LED Apple’s rock concept.

Even though they are considered and idol rock group, (they don’t write their own music), they give an indie vibe. This may be attributed to the behind-the-scenes feelings of the recordings of the covers they post on their YouTube for their “Music Note” series.

Their most notable video and song might be “Birthday Killer,” which was intended to address the impact anti-fans have on celebrities.

TRIVIA:

• Along with the amount of members leaving the group, new ones were also brought in. Therefore only two of them have been with LED Apple the whole time, (Young Jun and Kwang Yeon).
• 3rd former leader, Hanbyul, (who gave up leader position because he didn’t like the responsibility), was born in Australia and so, speaks fluent English. He also knows French and Latin. He’s actually a dental student, but auditioned while taking a break from studies.
• For those who like to hear Hanbyul talk, he has a mini series called “Blah Blah” on their official YouTube channel.
• The band had a reality show called “Led Apple Entertainment” where they had a fake company and recruited trainees for it.
