Background

The name of the album was influenced by Chilgasal, the seven punishment types that the Heroic Corps regulated as a part of the independence movement and the liquidation of pro-Japanese group during the Japanese occupation.[5] The track in the album Infectious Gest (손 (損)) is a song about the COVID-19 pandemic, which depicts the COVID-19 as a guest who has damaged everything.[6]

Critical reception

The selection committee for the Korean Music Awards Kim Seongdae described the album as "the album that digs into the dark and humid social aspects of Korea and accuses them by music", and nominated the album to the 2022 Best Rock Album.[3]
