Named after the ancient Asian herbal ointment, South Korean collective Balming Tiger(@balmingtiger) is turning K-pop upside down with their sonic panacea—a fizzy mash-up of hip-hop, chiptune electronics, synthesized R&B and homespun K-pop that’s rhythmic, bouncy, and always restorative.
From Tiger Balm nostalgia to Hong Kong love stories, spontaneous studio moments to mountain songwriting camps—dive into our conversation with the internet collective that‘s actively subverting K-pop’s preened foundations. Click the link in bio to discover how a producer‘s cough became ”Kolo Kolo,“ why Stephen Chow movies shaped their HK dreams, and what ”alternative K-pop“ really means to them.
Catch them live in Hong Kong on July 14th at Kitty Woo Stadium! 🇭🇰🎤
