Akdong Musician, the brother-sister duo who won the SBS TV audition program "K-pop Star" in 2013, have released a new single.

Lee Chan-hyuk and Lee Suhyun have been praised for their witty lyrics and innocent charm. The new single is titled "Ga-na-da Together", and celebrates the 569th Hangeul Day or anniversary of the Korean alphabet on Friday.

In spirit, it is similar to an "ABC Song". Chan-hyuk (19) wrote the lyrics, and Lee Suhyun (16) sings along.

The duo went to live in Mongolia in 2008 with their missionary parents, who were so poor that they could not afford to send them to school and had to opt for homeschooling.

The song is the product of a joint project by Akdong Musician's management agency YG Entertainment and the credit card arm of Woori Bank.

Lee Eung-joon at Woori Card, said, "The project started from questioning why there is no Korean alphabet song sung by children. We hope it will lead people to appreciate Hangeul more in everyday life".

Woori Card and YG plan to support projects dedicated to teaching Hangul to the elderly and children of immigrants.
