The Freaks is a band formed by old friends, and the album cover image is also a photo at a place in their hometown, Dunchon-dong.[3][4] The band interviewed "We tend to record very slowly anyway, but it takes more time when we do an ensemble. of course we are not satisfied with the overall recording, but we are satisfied with the ensemble" about the record being recorded in the form of an ensemble.[5]

Kim Doheon of IZM reviewed "The music of those who lost their independent direction of life and transferred the reality of young people to a drowsy guitar melody sadly still has strong persuasion."[6] Lee Ijae of Indiepost described the album as "The helpless, depressing sensibilities and honest lyrics of youth, which are not as enjoyable as they are."[1]
