The "Water Bomb Goddess" Kwon Eun-bi said, "I practiced in the bathtub under the water."
Singer Kwon Eun-bi has drawn attention by revealing her passion and preparation process for the "Water Bomb 2025" stage.
On the 10th, a video titled "The first lesson on Water Bomb by Kwon Eun-bi and Lee Min-hyuk, who devoured Water Bomb" was released on the YouTube channel "Cosmopolitan Korea." In the video, the two artists, Kwon Eun-bi and Lee Min-hyuk, who are at the center of this year's "Water Bomb" discussion, grants candid talks about stage preparation and more.
When asked for tips on Water Bomb, Lee Min-hyuk shared, "If I drink water right before the performance, my stomach bulges, so I hold it in and drink after it ends," sharing the tense moments before going on stage. Kwon Eun-bi empathized with this, revealing her unique rehearsal story from her first appearance in 2023. He stated, "I wasn’t feeling it well, so I went into the bathtub to practice my performance under the water. The stylist sprayed water on me with a showerhead," drawing laughter. Lee Min-hyuk praised Kwon Eun-bi, saying, "That's why it's you. You will definitely kill it again this year."
The video also captured Kwon Eun-bi seriously focusing on stage preparations right up to the rehearsal on the day. In the waiting room, a scene of her sharing the tension with close friend Lee Si-an added warmth. When a staff member said, "You look really pretty today," Kwon Eun-bi humorously responded, "So was I not pretty before?" brightening the atmosphere.
Previously, Kwon Eun-bi took the stage at the "Water Bomb Seoul 2025" event held on Jan. 6 at the Kintex outdoor global stage in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, once again proving her status as the "Water Bomb Goddess." She appeared in a stylish outfit consisting of a white bikini, crop shirt, and hot pants, capturing attention right from the start. She flawlessly delivered live performances of her hit songs, including "Underwater," "Door," "Beautiful Night," and "Hello Stranger," amid heavy water sprays, eliciting explosive reactions.
