Singapore, 2025 – Waterbomb Singapore returned with a splash — quite literally — as some of K-pop’s hottest acts set the stage on fire while cooling the crowd with waves of water. From surprise reunions to sizzling solo stages, the night was an unforgettable blend of music, energy, and playful chaos.

The festival kicked off on a nostalgic note with Sorn and Seungyeon, treating fans to a mini CLC reunion. The duo performed fan-favourite hits like No and Helicopter, with the crowd passionately singing along. Adding to the excitement, Sorn gave fans an exclusive preview of her upcoming single Cool Waters, a perfect fit for Waterbomb’s vibe.

The stage exploded with dance power as Team BEBE, winners of Street Woman Fighter 2, joined forces with Jam Republic. Their performance of Smoke and Lisa’s FUTW had the entire crowd captivated, proving why they remain among Korea’s top dance crews.

Minhyuk (HUTA) made his highly anticipated solo stage in Singapore after seven years, and the wait was worth it. From Boom to tracks from his latest release (V, Wet, Bora), he delivered a set that had fans screaming from start to finish.

His playful banter in English — sprinkled with Singlish gems like “buay tahan,” “chiobu,” and “lengzai” — made the audience roar with laughter. He even revived BTOB’s legendary “give up” meme, showing off his A+ fan interaction skills.

But the night hit peak chaos when Minhyuk poured water over himself, tore off his shirt for Bora, and showcased a jaw-dropping dance break, abs and all. Fans went absolutely wild, and even he admitted he needed a moment to catch his breath. Closing with Boom, he promised: “When there is goodbye, definitely there will be a next hello.”

Making their first Waterbomb appearance in Singapore, EXID brought their trademark charisma with DDD, L.I.E, Hot Pink, I Love You, and the iconic Up & Down. The members didn’t just sing — they played. Hye Lin poured water on herself and chased her members, Solji teased the crowd with water guns, and LE and Jeonghwa showered fans with love through both words and actions.

Reminiscing about their last visit in 2018, the group expressed how much they missed their Singapore fans and promised to come back soon if invited again. The crowd’s loud chants of “Hot” in response to “Pink” proved the love was mutual.

Minho set pulses racing with his solo stages from Call Back and Affection to SHINee’s Body Rhythm. The crowd erupted when he shed layers, cheekily covering up with his jacket while flashing abs that had fans screaming for more.

His energy was playful yet heartfelt, pouring water over himself and making cute hearts for the fans. Minho also encouraged cheers for his fellow member Taemin, showing SHINee’s bond runs deep.

If Minho brought cheeky heat, Taemin brought smouldering intensity. Performing Move, Sexy in the Air, Want, Advice, and Guilty, his fluid dance lines and powerful vocals had fans entranced. Taemin charmed with playful crowd banter — asking if they wanted more water, teasing about his jacket, and even wishing happiness and fortune to the fans through the Waterbomb fun.

The highlight? A surprise duet stage with Minho for SHINee’s View. As they sang side-by-side, doused in water, the atmosphere reached fever pitch — a perfect finale that left Shawols and Waterbombers screaming for more.

From nostalgic reunions and legendary girl group stages to shirtless chaos and SHINee magic, Waterbomb Singapore 2025 was a rollercoaster of heat, music, and endless showers. The artists weren’t just performing; they were connecting, laughing, and soaking in the moment with their fans.

If the screams, soaked outfits, and glowing smiles were any indication, Waterbomb didn’t just cool down Singapore’s heat — it made the first night unforgettable!
