Bongjeingan is a supergroup consisting of Chiyoonhae (the member of Parasol and Sultan of the Disco), Lim Hyeonje (the member of Hyukoh), and Jeon Iljoon (the member of Kiha & The Faces).[3] The discussions on the formation began when they accidentally joined the ensemble. The band was officially formed in May 2022 when they supported the concert of Hyodo & Bass.[2] They performed at the Pentaport Rock Festival and the DMZ Peace Train Music Festival shortly after their formation, and gained popularity with their distinctive style.[4]
They released a single in December 2022 consisting of two tracks, Gaekkum and Good, of which they released a music video for Good.[5] Kim Byeongwoo of Music Y described the song as "It's a single that shines fresh with a comeback that flashes like a spark while the half-cut lyrics and music sparkle and then disappears."[6] They released their first studio album 12 Languages (12가지 말들) in 2023.[1] [2]
