[theqoo] ‘CROSSING THE LINE’ BIBI, HEATED DEBATE OVER WATERBOMB’S 19+, OUTRAGEOUS PERFORMANCE

Opinions are sharply divided online over singer BIBI’s bold stage performance at “Waterbomb Seoul 2026.”

On the 25th, BIBI appeared at the “Waterbomb Seoul 2026” event held at the KINTEX Outdoor Global Stage in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, where she performed her hit songs, including “Bam Yanggaeng” and “Bad X.” During the performance, she unzipped her white jumpsuit to reveal a bikini and staged a daring performance by singing while kneeling among male dancers.

This sparked a heated debate on online communities and social media. Some members of the public criticized the staging as overly sensational, expressing negative reactions such as, “It was too explicit,” and “It was a disappointing choice for a public stage.” On the other hand, others defended her, saying, “It was a great performance that fit the festival’s atmosphere,” and “It was simply a performance that highlighted the artist’s unique personality.”
