Given that the idol has not released any other Thai songs other than the OST for the Thai film, The Con-Heartist, he explained why he chose to release a full Thai album. Here's what he stated:"Last year, on my way to Rajamangala Stadium for the encore show of my solo tour ‘AREA 52’, I happened to pass by the area where I was born. It’s actually the only route to the venue, but I hadn’t taken that road in years, so I never realized it. That moment felt so meaningful — it was like everything suddenly clicked. I knew what I wanted to do next. And from that moment on, I already knew the album would be called HOMETOWN."BamBam also added that one of his intentions for creating the album was to provide a more realistic perspective of Thai people to his fans. Additionally, the idol also talked about three collaborations in the album, all featuring Thai artists. He explained that he personally chose all the artists who worked on the album with the intention of working with people who had similar mindsets."TIMETHAI, who’s featured on the pre-release single “Dancing by myself( feat. TIMETHAI), is just really good. He can sing, he can dance — he’s got it all. Jeff Satur, who joined me on “More Than Friend(Feat.Jeff Satur)”, is often called the ‘gifted’ in Thailand."He added,"He can handle so many different genres, and from what I know, he even does his own mixing and mastering — plus, he acts too. And he’s just really handsome. [Laughs] INK WARUNTORN, who’s featured on “Greenlight,” is one of the most beloved female singers in Thailand. She has that pure Thai-pop charm that I really wanted to capture on this album."The idol also talked about the reason behind creating a Thai album after spending years in the K-pop industry. He expressed that since he had achieved most things he aimed for in the K-pop industry, such as solo debut, world tour, variety show experiences, etc., he felt that the Thai album was naturally the next step.Therefore, fans and netizens have been cheering and praising the idol for his latest album release, HOMETOWN.
