After their debut they took 4 years to record their second album The Wind, The Sea, The Rain, which was released on November 5, 2007. Their second album sold about 100,000 copies. It helped them win the R&B award at the 5th Korean Music awards in 2008.[1]

This MV also came in 2 versions: one Black and White, and the other a Colour version.
