Woozi says #FaceTheSun only contains group songs (no unit songs), it was an idea they discussed ahead of time "Units are of course important to SVT but this album was about expressing our inner selves. From the 1st stages, we thought it would be difficult but it turned out great"

Hoshi adds, "It's our first album without unit songs, I really enjoyed that"
