On March 9th, “Sadness” was released through various music portal sites, and since then it has reached #8 on MelOn and #12 on Mnet. A big feat for these boys, considering that they have been underdogs as a rock idol group in the midst of more mainstream, pop idol groups.
This new track was created by one of Korea’s best composers, Cho Young Soo, who has made hit songs like T-ara‘s “Cry Cry” and Huh Gak‘s “Always”. This was LEDApple’s first time collaborating with Cho Young Soo and the composer’s magic touch seems to be taking effect.
LEDApple aims to display a more mature and chic side than before with their new promotion, and they’ve also incorporated the dance that took the world by storm, shuffling.

Since the release of their digital single “Dash” in October 2010, LEDApple has made their mark as a hot, young, and rising indie-style idol rock band. Since their debut, there has been a few member changes, luckily that has not prevented their stable rise in popularity.
On February 18th, LEDapple revealed that it’s already been 500 days since their debut.
They wrote on their me2day, “(Please) Congratulate LEDapple on our 500 day anniversary (^.^) You’ll stay with us till our 5,000 day and (even our) 50,000 day right? If LEDA fans say they will, we will too (^.~)“.
LEDApple also simultaneously released a video thanking LEDA fans and celebrating their anniversary.
In the video Hanbyul replied, “Even though (there were some member changes and) we didn’t continue with our first members, from now on, we’ll actively perform for 5 years, 50 years, 5,000 years, so please root for us“.
Kyumin jokingly warned, “Please like (and support) us to the end, if you change I’ll come after you, even to hell“.

The leader of the group until now has been Hanbyul, who is currently a dental student at the University of Queensland in Australia. Hanbyul will now be passing the baton to Young Jun, who is of the same age.
Young Jun is the guitarist of the band, and he’s taken lessons from Kim Do Kyun as well as Zack Kim, a famous YouTube celebrity amongst guitarists who’s known to play two guitars with both hands simultaneously.
Although there have been member swaps in the past due to issues like mandatory military service, Young Jun has been with the band since the very beginning. He knows how to encourage his groupmates and has consistently shown leadership qualities.
“It’s a lot of responsibility to be the leader, but I will work hard to lead the group to our goal, which is to win an award from a major music program,” said Young Jun. “A lot of our LEDApple members are extremely talented, as they can write their own songs, DJ, rap, and more. With these talents in hand, I would like to greet our fans with one-of-a-kind performances.”
LEDApple will soon be making a comeback with “Time Is Up“, which was produced by Shinsadong Tiger. The song expresses the thoughts of a man who’s disheartened by the fact that the woman he loves needs more time to accept his feelings.
The boys are preparing to make a strong return to the music industry, starting with their comeback performance on Mnet‘s ‘M! Countdown‘ on February 2nd. They will also be performing on KBS‘s ‘Music Bank‘ on the 3rd. Source: allkpop
23 December:
LED Apple‘s long legs are becoming a hot topic of conversation amongst netizens.
A few candid shots of the boys at a recent photo shoot surfaced via an online community site on December 23rd with the caption, “LED Apple looks as though they’ll shoot through the roof.”
Different from their elaborate stage ensembles, the boys were dressed in casual clothing that uniquely expressed each of the member’s fashion tastes.
LED Apple showcased their impressive tall height that collectively averages 180cm (5’11″), and donned chic, charismatic poses that reportedly overwhelmed all the ladies on set.
Netizens who saw the photos left comments such as, “Are these candid shots or pictorials from a photo shoot?”, “How tall are they exactly?”, “They look like models“, “They look like gods“, “They’re about to reach the ceiling“, and more.
Meanwhile, the boys are distinguishing themselves from other idol groups by making themselves known as a ‘performance band’, showcasing their vocal talent with their song “Accidentally Ran Into You“.

22 December:
Inspired by the revolutionary development of a smartphone, LEDApple expressed that they wanted to showcase continual growth with their music. With smartphones, each new update creates an irresistible desire amongst users to upgrade to the next level. Likewise, LEDApple wants every new release to further entice the public to listen to their music.
The band debuted back in October of 2010, but they’ve gone through several member changes since then so they consider themselves a ‘middle-aged rookie group’. The frequent member changes don’t seem to worry them, as they considered it as a rite of passage.
Youngjun and Kwangyeon expressed, “The member switchups gave the overall group a different feel. We feel that compared to the past, we’ve become a lot more sturdy and complete.”
Commenting on their growing popularity, the band said, “We have a lot of new fans tell us they became our fans after watching us perform when they originally went to see another artist. We’re not that high on the public recognition scale, but we’re going to work hard to make more people think that we’re an okay group.”

In response, LED Apple’s managing company, Startory made an official statement on June 17th through a press release regarding the plagiarism issue.

Many people have been patiently waiting for the return of rookie rock band LED Apple. The band comprised of Jaehoon (vocal), Kyumin (vocal, rap), Youngjun (guitar), Kwangyeon (bass), andHyosuk (drums), teased us earlier in the week with a teaser for “Who Do You Think You Are” and now the official Startory Youtube Channel has been updated with the MV of “Who Do You Think You Are”! They label it “english version,” because the Youtube page contains the translated lyrics.
Despite some controversy for the teaser, the MV itself doesn’t seem inappropriate at all. Check out the MV Below!
14 June:
It seems idol group LED Apple is running into a minor obstacle right before their comeback, thanks to the controversial content in their teaser for their new single, “Who Do You Think You Are“.
Some viewers felt that the clip was inappropriate for minors, since it revolved around the members enjoying clubs and alcohol. Three of the members are minors themselves, and so the complaints stem from LED Apple being bad examples for youth.
LED Apple’s agency stated, “‘Who Do You Think You Are’ is about not holding onto a woman who’s leaving, and so we made the concept that way.”
LED Apple will be making their comeback on ‘Music Bank‘ later on this week.
On June 13th, rookie rock band LED Apple finally released the teaser for their comeback track, “Who Do You Think You Are“!
The band is comprised of Jaehoon (vocal), Kyumin (vocal, rap), Youngjun (guitar), Kwangyeon(bass), and Hyosuk (drums).
As seen in the teaser, the boys have shed their pretty boy looks for a rebellious change in order to better the suit the message of their song. Their title track is about a man who confidently accepts a break-up without any of the sorrow and longing that love songs normally depict.
LED Apple will be kicking off their comeback activities with the release of the full MV on June 16th.
11 June:
Kim recently tweeted, “The most anticipated band of Startory, ‘LED Apple’ daebak!!!!!! I genuinely congratulate the creation of your album; it’s one that I can feel your every sweat and passion melted into it. I hope that you will be able to create history in the idol market~~ ‘Who Do You Think You Are’ fire!!!!!!”
Unfortunately, the band seems to have come under a bit of attack, as they recently posted up a video proving their live performance skills on their official YouTube channel.
The boys wrote, “Haters against bands. Who do you think you are to hate on bands? Don’t go on a witch hunt with knowledge you have none of.”
The video explains what hand-syncing is and proves their haters wrong by giving a close up of each of the individual members playing their parts live.
Various hateful comments left by netizens also scroll across the screen.
The boys end the video with a message to the haters that reads:
“Haters, yes, we are a band. We aren’t holding these instruments just for show. You said we were manipulating the media for getting so many headlines, right? If we don’t promote ourselves, how else will you learn about us? Don’t hate on us for pathetic things like that. Do we look like we’re in an idol band for fun? We’ve been working for this through all obstacles, and are still putting our lives on the line for this.We’re a band, but we’re also going to dance. Shocking, isn’t it? If you’re going to continue hating us for having no talent, then we’ll just work harder. Haters, thanks for taking an interest in us. We’ll work harder to become the best band for you guys.But what are you going to do? We practice live, but we’re going to meet you hand-syncing on music programs.On June 16th, with ‘Who Do You Think You Are’.”
Stay tuned for their teaser release on June 13th!
