On July 25, BIBI took the stage at the Global Outdoor Stage at KINTEX in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, as part of WATERBOMB Seoul 2026.
For the performance, BIBI wore a form-fitting white jumpsuit and delivered a string of her hit songs, including Bam Yang Gang and BIBI Vengeance. Her bold and sensual stage presence quickly captured the audience’s attention.
During the performance, BIBI unzipped the front of her jumpsuit to reveal a bikini outfit underneath. She also performed a choreographed segment in which she knelt in front of male dancers and sang into microphones they were holding, creating one of the event’s most talked-about moments.
WATERBOMB has become known each year for performances that highlight the bold and sexy concepts of female artists such as Kwon Eun Bi. This year was no different, with many viewers praising BIBI’s daring stage, saying that she “perfectly elevated the festival atmosphere” and that it was “a performance that only BIBI could pull off.”
However, not everyone reacted positively. Some netizens criticized the performance, commenting, “It feels like self-sexualization,” “I’m worried children might see this,” “Regardless of gender, this kind of staging goes too far,” and “It was so explicit that it made me uncomfortable.”
Since her debut, BIBI has built a reputation for pushing boundaries through her unique musical style and performances, often dividing public opinion. Her WATERBOMB stage has once again sparked heated discussion online, with some arguing that it should be viewed as artistic expression, while others believe that a public festival performance should have exercised greater restraint.
Meanwhile, BIBI continues to stay active across music, acting, and variety entertainment. She recently released her new single, “BUMPA.”
