Not a big fan of this album. The music is slow and can get boring quickly. Good sound quality, but lacks energy for me.

Riley – Austin, USA – December 19, 2025
Listened to the album while cooking. The sound is crisp and clear, really nice quality for an album like this. ‘Harimseong’ was my favorite track. It sets a good vibe but did take some time to arrive in the mail.

Olivia – Los Angeles, USA – November 5, 2025
I liked the album, especially ‘Harimseong.’ The music has nice flow. Shipping was slow, and some tracks repeat similar themes a bit too much for my taste.
