Background
In an episode of We Got Married he revealed to his virtual wife that he was working on a song about her. 'Banmal' is the informal form of speech in the Korean language. Seohyun is known to have difficulty dropping honorifics with those who are older than her, and the song is inspired by Yonghwa's desire to hear her speak to him in 'Banmal'.
The song was released as a single on January 14, 2011 and upon its release, topped various South Korean music charts such as Bugs, Daum, Soribada and Naver Music. The song debuted at #12 on the Gaon Singles Chart, climbing up to the #1 spot in the following week and stayed there for two consecutive weeks.
