The Waterbomb Water Festival is an annual event that is popular in Korea, but given the current drought situation, this festival is causing controversy because of the waste of water.
This summer, Korea entered a drought since many areas had not received rain in a long time. Faced with this situation, on June 13, actress Lee El spoke out against the Waterbomb music festival, which sparked a heated controversy. The actress criticized the water waste of the Waterbom concert, “I wish 300 tons of water for the Water Bomb Concert were sprayed on the Soyang River.”
Waterbomb is a well-known yearly summer music festival in South Korea. This is the stage where prominent artists perform, together with many exciting and breathtaking water spray shows, to create the most entertaining festival for young Koreans. However, given the current drought, the public is opposed to this festival.
On May 4 on Radio Star, PSY mentioned Soak Show – a summer concert series with a similar theme to Waterbomb: “We don’t just use water. It’s drinkable water. It costs about 300 tons per show. We will mobilize water through sprinkler trucks.”
PSY’s shares have elicited conflicting reactions. The audience, contrary to expectations, criticized PSY: “Amidst this situation, PSY should donate the water he intends to use for the concert for agriculture use”
Before being criticized for wasting drinkable water, Waterbomb was once the dream destination of Kpop fans with top-notch stages and the presence of a series of top idols such as BLACKPINK, HyunA, Sunmi,…
