The artists at WATERBOMB 2023 brought an explosive burst of energy, leaving a lasting impression even after the festival ended.
WATERBOMB, a summer music festival beloved among the youth, offered an exciting way to beat the heat through water fights.

On June 23rd, artists like Zico, Sunmi, Swings, BTOB, Woo Wonjae, Sik-K, Coogie, HAON, Ash Island, STAYC, and Kwon Eun Bi set the stage on fire. Kwon Eun Bi, in particular, stole the spotlight with her stunning outfits and unforgettable performances of “Underwater” and “Glitch.”
The 24th saw Jay Park, Jessi, Loco, GRAY, Oh My Girl, Kim Yugyeom, pH-1, Zior Park, Leellamarz, and CAMO taking over the stage. Festival icon Jay Park energized the crowd with his hit songs like “All I Wanna Do (K),” “GANADARA,” “If We Fall in Love, It’s Not a Party,” and “MOMMAE,” creating an amazing summer night.
On the 25th, aespa, Simon Dominic, HyunA, DPR LIVE, BamBam, BIBI, BIG Naughty, Lee Young Ji, and Triple S delivered captivating performances. Making their debut appearance at the festival, aespa left a strong impression with their renditions of “Next Level,” “Thirsty,” “Goblin Fire (Illusion),” and “Spicy,” concluding the night on a high note.
