Alternative K-pop group Balming Tiger has raised anticipation for its upcoming full-length album by releasing an advance single.

Balming Tiger released the advance single 'Home' on the 28th ahead of the May 19 release of its second full album 'Gongbu (Gongbu)'.

'Home' is the first advance track, offering a glimpse into the direction of the second full album 'Gongbu', blending psychedelic and retro band sounds with the unique mood characteristic of Korea and East Asia. Balming Tiger members BJ Won-jin (BJ wnjn), Sogum (sogumm), Mudd the student, Lee Su-ho (Leesuho), and San Yawn (San Yawn) transformed the concept of 'home' into music, interpreting it through their individual perspectives.

The second full album 'Gongbu' is planned as a project where sound design, visuals, identity, music video direction, and live performance are consistently connected within a single worldview, going beyond a simple album. The narrative unfolds centered on the story of observing and recording human dreams and the subconscious through experimental technology at a fictional research institute called 'Gongbu Korea'.

The album cover for 'Home' features the former main building of Jeju National University, a work by the late architect Kim Jung-eop, who represents modern Korean architecture. Although the building has since been demolished, it is reinterpreted as the 'Gongbu Korea' research institute within the album's worldview, drawing attention.

The music video is presented in a black comedy format inspired by the Korean traditional wedding culture 'Haminabi', with Balming Tiger members Jan' Qui and San Yawn serving as co-directors. Set against the backdrop of Sogum, a test subject of 'Gongbu Korea', the video intuitively reveals the album's core keyword, 'dream'. By unveiling for the first time the space and characters that serve as the starting point of the worldview, the video has garnered a strong response from music fans.

Meanwhile, Balming Tiger, which unveiled the unique worldview of 'Gongbu Korea' through the release of the 'Home' digital single and music video on the 28th, is set to continue generating interest with the May 19 release of its second full album 'Gongbu'.
