some online sites show this single's 2nd track as an instrumental of track 1

• • Note that the digital single "Renaissance (2007)" that includes a song named "미운오리 새끼" is not actually an album by M.C the Max, although it is said to be so. There was a dispute between the original M.C the Max and their previous agency regarding the use of their band name, and the agency, You & I Entertainment Co., tried to make another team of M.C the Max (the 2nd) debut. The "미운오리새끼" is the song by the M.C the Max the 2nd, not by the authentic M.C the Max. Currently, only the authentic M.C the Max is active on mass media.
