After the album's release, Kim Young-hoon left the band while serving in the military.[7][8] They appeared on The EBS space and performed.[9]
In 2016, they released their second studio album Closed Eyes (감은 눈).[5] Yoon Hojoon of Music Y described the album as "Like the masterpieces of this genre, Closed Eyes is an interesting text about the flesh and materialisation of sound and did as well as they did decades ago."[1] Seo Kyeongsoo joined the band as a new drummer, and in 2021, they released their third studio album There is No More Snow on the Television.[4] In 2022, they had a tour in South Korea, and Soumbalgwang supported them.[2]
