Jang Kiha and the Faces explained why they decided to disband.
On November 15, Jang Kiha and the Faces guested on SBS Power FM's 'Cultwo Show.' The band recently released their final album 'mono' as they will be disbanding in December.
The DJ asked, "You guys announced the disbandment before the album release. How was this decided?" Jang Kiha explained, "This might sound weird but we thought this album sounds too good, so we decided to stop."
Narsha asked, "Are you guys trying to leave when you are being applauded?" Jang Kiha replied, "Yes, I feel like we did everything we wanted to do in the past 10 years and everything we could do with this 6 members in this album. It seems like it'll be hard for us to release the 6th album, so instead of showing us going down, we decided to end it while we are at the top."
Another member Lee Jong Min commented, "You know the saying that you're dying happy. I'll appreciate it if you can think of it as us dying happily because of the great album."
This article needs a second translation, from the bands bullshit to what they really mean. "This might sound weird but we thought this album sounds too good, so we decided to stop." = "This album is probably our worst and after listening to it, our fans will realize that we are out of ideas. So Jang Kiha has decided to disband the group to do his own thing since he is the only one of the group who is remotely famous, and the rest of us will have to figure out what do to now."
