Booking Balming Tiger

Balming Tiger is a South Korean alternative K-pop and hip-hop collective known for their eclectic sound, avant-garde visuals, and fearless experimentation. Formed in Seoul, the group describes itself as a “multinational alternative K-pop band,” reflecting its mission to represent Asian youth culture beyond traditional genre and industry boundaries. The collective includes rappers, producers, singers, and visual artists — among them Omega Sapien, sogumm, Mudd the Student, bj wnjn, Leesuho, and San Yawn.

Since their debut in 2018 with I’m Sick, Balming Tiger have become one of the most original and globally recognized creative collectives in Asia. Their music combines experimental hip-hop, electronic, and pop influences, often paired with surreal videos and visual art. The breakout single Armadillo introduced their unique blend of humor, chaos, and depth, while Sexy Nukim (featuring RM of BTS) propelled them onto the international stage, earning millions of views and critical praise for its daring production and fluid creativity.

Balming Tiger’s art extends far beyond music — they curate visuals, direct videos, and collaborate with fashion brands and artists across disciplines. Their approach rejects mainstream formulas, instead embracing authenticity, diversity, and youthful rebellion. Each member brings a distinct background and personality, making the group a constantly evolving creative ecosystem.

Their live performances are a whirlwind of sound and color — part concert, part art installation. They’ve appeared at major festivals like SXSW, Primavera Sound, and Summersonic Japan, captivating audiences with their high-energy, genre-defying shows.

Balming Tiger are redefining what K-pop and Asian music can be — global, inclusive, and boundaryless. Their sound speaks to a generation unafraid of experimentation, representing the spirit of modern creativity in its purest form.
