phrases, as is common in Korean pop music.

.
Their song "Fighting Spirit" (투지) was also used as another Korean opening to Naruto.
In July 2007 the band officially went on hiatus as four of the band members began to, or had already begun to serve the 26 month mandatory service in the South Korean Army required of all South Korean men. Min Kyung Hoon, the vocalist of the group will proceed in a solo career while the anticipated fourth album is due to be completed once the band complete their duties.

Also, 은인 made it to the top 14 list. There are scandals among fans that in the 2006 winter discography awards in Korea, that their songs were not considered by the officials for they were a group which worked its way to the top, unlike many other singers/groups and that they did not "pay up".
