After the 2009 EP 거짓말꽃 (Flower of Lie), Achime worked on their first studio album, describing Hunch and Flower of Lie as "They are albums that talk about emotions felt in the heart through things that are hard to experience in everyday life: the flow of everyday life, the visible, the audible. On the contrary"[2] They recorded for two and a half months in a studio under construction in Sindaebang-dong.[3] The band said "We hope everyone who listens to music can have a 'heart-warming experience'." in an introduction to the album.[4]
Lee Geonsoo of IZM reviewed "Kwon Seonwook's nervous voice with full of irritation, is reminiscent of Shannon Hoon of Blind Melon, who died of drug overdose in 1999."[5] Choi Minwoo of Weiv said "The album is regrettable that their records clearly list their influences, but their originality is not clear. But some moments are thrilling."[6]
