I checked them out once because the vocalist is handsome, but now I’m listening to their music non-stop. How come I didn't find out about them earlier?
Jang KyungMin was also referred to as the "Cha EunWoo" of the band world, capturing the hearts of the viewers through his visuals.

The latest episode of the band survival program featured the mission for the 2nd round, "Song of the Decade", which was a one-on-one "death match" between the bands. Lacuna represented the 1990s through their new song '1998', which was written and arranged in just one day.
