Lee Joo-han says, “Normally, jazz musicians have some time off in the winter, so we formed a band with the idea of only acting as a project group that performed in the winter. That’s why we took on the name ‘Winterplay.’”
They got together and began making music without a music label, but they were able to complete the recording and mixing on their album with the aid of their now-label (Fluxus) president (who’s also Lee Joo-han’s friend). Upon hearing their music, he invited them to sign with him immediately to form not a project group but an official band.
In 2008, through performances, advertisements, movies, music, drama soundtracks for various activities in the field by the musicians at home and abroad brought recognition and attention. In October 2008 they have even been known as a jazz power held by the Japanese "Tokyo Asia Music Market", set foot on the success of overseas music market.

hot sauce
WINTERPLAY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Working like a dirty rag
Hot sauce that's what I need
Saving up to buy a house
Understatement of the year
Hot sauce splash it on me
Giving, spending, tired of having nothing for me
Big holes, in my life, now, that is what I'm
Want to be the queen of earth
Rule the world and take it all
Hot sauce, naughty red sauce
Giving, spending, tired of having nothing for me
Big holes, in my life, now, that is what I'm
talking about
Happy stories don't comply
Not for me nor not for you
Hot sauce that's what you need
Love affairs are dream come true
Really not for anyone
Get that hot sauce on you
Put that hot sauce on me
Get that hot sauce on you
Get that hot sauce on me
The lyrics to Winterplay's "Hot Sauce" seem to be discussing the various stresses and challenges of life, as well as the singer's desires and aspirations. The opening lines, "Driving through my life insane / Working like a dirty rag" indicate a feeling of being overwhelmed and overworked, struggling to maintain balance and control in their life. The repeated phrase "Hot sauce that's what I need / Get that hot sauce on you / Put that hot sauce on me" seems to act as a sort of refrain, interrupting the flow of the verses to emphasize an urgent desire for something - although it's unclear what precisely that something is.
The following lines point towards potential goals - "Saving up to buy a house / Want to be the queen of earth / Rule the world and take it all" - but these seem almost exaggerated to the point of absurdity, as though the singer is frustrated with their current life and is reaching for grandiose fantasies to escape from it. The repetition of "Giving, spending, tired of having nothing for me / Big holes in my life, now, that is what I'm talking about" also suggests a sense of dissatisfaction and aimlessness, with the singer feeling as though they've given too much to others and have been left with nothing in return.
