Kwon Eun-bi’s Waterbomb Bikini Receives Mixed Reactions, Agency Announces Legal Action Against Sexual Harassment
As the Waterbomb season has come, interest in “Waterbomb Goddess” Kwon Eun-bi is increasing explosively again
On July 6th, Kwon Eun-bi performed at Waterbomb Seoul 2024 held at KINTEX Outdoor Global Stage in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do.
Earning the title “Waterbomb Goddess” for her perfect stage and beautiful body figure at the festival last year, Kwon Eun-bi once again excited the audience with another spectacular performance this year.
Last year, she made headlines with her bikini fashion. Therefore, fans and netizens had high expectations for her stage costume this year. However, many are paying excessive attention to the artists’ light and revealing outfits due to the nature of the Waterbomb festival where people shoot water at each other.
At the 2024 Waterbomb, Kwon Eun-bi matched a white top with a blue bikini. After the performance, her look aroused divided opinions from netizens. Some said, “No matter how popular the event is, her clothes are too revealing”, “This outfit is not very suitable to wear to perform with dance”, etc. On the other hand, others commented, “I expect something like a swimsuit. It was a little disappointing that it was just a normal stage costume for music broadcasts”, “I was looking forward to something colorful like her costumes at Waterbomb last year”, etc.
Seeing the public paying too much attention to Kwon Eun-bi’s stage outfit, fans have expressed frustration.
On July 5th, a day before Kwon Eun-bi’s Waterbomb performance, Woollim Entertainment stated, “After collecting numerous reports about criminal acts, such as indiscriminate defamation, sexual harassment, the spread of false information, slander and malicious postings editing the artist’s face into obscene pictures and distributing such inappropriate content, we already filed the first complaint and the police are investigating”.
Kwon Eun-bi’s side said, “Based on the collected evidence, we will take strong legal action without leniency for criminal acts, such as insults, under the Criminal Act and violations of the Information and Communication Network Act.”
Ever since Kwon Eun-bi gained huge popularity for her sexy charms at Waterbomb, she has faced sexual harassment and insults due to edited obscene photos. However, controversy arose as the agency announced notice of their legal action, causing many people to feel frustrated.
In the meantime, fans are pouring compliments on Kwon Eun-bi’s visual at Waterbomb, saying “This is the best outfit to show the coolness of summer and Waterbomb while still protecting the artist well”. As her agency has announced legal action, attention is on whether they would get rid of defamation and insulting postings about Kwon Eun-bi completely.
