WONJIN, a singer-songwriter from the alternative K-pop group Balming Tiger, is approaching the public with a new song containing his unique musical colors. According to media reports, WONJIN will release the new digital single 'Candy Comes to Mind' through music platforms worldwide at 6 PM on the 22nd. This new song captures a cheerful imagination where a narrator in love thinks of candy from the partner's smiling corners of the mouth and flushed cheeks, and wanders around the neighborhood corner store to catch that lingering image.

This song, which WONJIN personally wrote and composed, expresses positive energy by comparing it to candy. Centered around a groovy bass, an addictive melody and dreamy guitar sounds harmonize, while the psychedelic arrangement depicts the process of everyday affection expanding into a delusion of love that crosses the boundary between reality and fantasy. The sound, which expands freely over the friendly melody, completes the unique atmosphere of the song.

The live video, released along with the music, was co-directed by Balming Tiger members Jan'Qui and San Yawn. Produced in a one-take format that continues in a single breath from beginning to end, it is expected to visually expand the song's unique humorous perspective and worldview.

This single is a pre-release track for the first solo full-length album 'Record of Delusions', which will be presented on October 20. 'Record of Delusions' is expected to fully contain his musical colors as WONJIN personally took charge of the lyrics and composition for all tracks without any featuring artists. The album records the delusional thoughts blooming in the head, such as anxiety about things that have not happened or self-pity, like a single piece of a comic book. WONJIN is expected to draw deep empathy by unreservedly translating into music the intimate and funny thoughts that exist in everyone but are not easily brought out.
