On the 5th, Jaurim’s Kim Yoon-ah sparked a discussion with her candid remarks about the Waterbomb Festival. Appearing on MBC’s ‘Radio Star,’ she addressed the title ‘Original Waterbomb Goddess’ by stating, “Honestly, isn’t the Waterbomb Festival not really a music festival?” Her unexpected comment garnered significant attention.
Netizens reacted with various opinions: “It’s a performance aimed at the younger generation rather than just about music,” “She’s right,” “I don’t think she meant it negatively,” and “It’s a festival, not just a concert.”
‘Waterbomb’ is the largest summer music festival in Korea, where attendees can enjoy water activities and performances simultaneously. After a three-year hiatus due to the pandemic, the festival resumed in 2022, receiving an explosive response.
Last year, singer Kwon Eun-bi made her debut at Waterbomb, attracting a lot of attention. Her performance in a revealing outfit became a hot topic, garnering millions of views. Her song ‘Underwater’ even experienced a resurgence on various music charts.
Furthermore, it was reported that on March 12, Kwon Eun-bi signed a contract to purchase a detached house near the cafe street in Songjeong-dong, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, for 2.4 billion KRW.
Kwon Eun-bi, who transitioned from a backup dancer to an idol with IOI and then to a solo artist, has become a property owner worth 2.4 billion KRW. As she successfully turned her life around, there is growing anticipation for the emergence of a second Kwon Eun-bi, the new ‘Waterbomb Goddess.’
In the past, groups like BLACKPINK, Sunmi, Hyolyn, Hyuna, and Chungha have graced the Waterbomb stage, showcasing their sexy appeal.
The lineup for ‘Waterbomb Seoul 2024’ (hereafter ‘Waterbomb’) has been revealed, raising high expectations.
The event in Seoul will be held from July 5th (Friday) to July 7th (Sunday). Following this, it will take place in nine cities across the country, including Jeju, Daegu, Busan, Incheon, and Daejeon.
The three-day Waterbomb Seoul will feature Zico, Crush, Hwasa, Baekho, Chungha, fromis_9, Woo Won-jae, and Coogie on the first day, July 5th. On the second day, July 6th, Park Jae-bum, Changmo, Sunmi, Minho, Kwon Eun-bi, Lee Young-ji, and Kiss of Life will perform. The final day, July 7th, will include Simon Dominic, Taemin, Nayeon, Jessi, Loco, Gray, pH-1, BIBI, YooA, and 82MAJOR, among others. More lineup announcements are expected to follow.
Netizens are excited, with comments like “This is a real opportunity,” “It’s going to be hot,” “They’re already doing great,” and “I’m looking forward to it.”
With the public eagerly anticipating whether a ‘second Kwon Eun-bi’ will emerge, the excitement builds around the artists set to showcase their explosive energy.
