Background

Before her solo debut, Minhwi Lee was famous under the name of Mukimukimanmansu's Mansu. In an interview with Indiepost, she said about Borrwed Tongue, "I did not recorded on various topics like during Mukimukimanmansu's music style, but rather made them with one theme."[2]

Critical reception

Kim Banya of IZM said, "All of this in Borrowed Tongue blooms with an atypical beauty in a minimal order.".[3] Seong Hyosun of Weiv reviewed the album as "Borrowed Tongue will be a good stimulus and direction for those who face all kinds of absurdities in the world every day and suffer frustration and despair, but speak only with borrowed tongue or remain silent", and named it the second in the best Korean albums of 2016.[4]
