Singer Sunmi told the behind-the-scenes story of the “Waterbomb” stage, which drew explosive attention.
On the 9th, Sunmi appeared as a guest on the YouTube channel “TEO” web entertainment Salon Drip 2. On this day, Jang Do-yeon asked, “I heard that there are more than 15 million views of shorts. Do you know?” and Sunmi laughed, “Oh, ‘Waterbomb'”.
The 15 million views are more than double the 7 million views of singer Kwon Eun-bi, who has recently emerged as the main character of the “Waterbomb” craze.
“It was time for me to think of a festival called Waterbomb,” Sunmi said. “I still had a strong image as the youngest member of Wonder Girls. But I thought the view was not to see me, but to see Cha Hyun-seung next to me.”
Jang Do-yeon joked, “It would be all right. If a person has narrow vision, only Sunmi would see it, but since there is a viewing angle, I can see Hyunseung too.”
Jang Do-yeon also asked, “If you say ‘Waterbomb,’ don’t you just spray water on your own? Isn’t that related to the popularity scale?” In response, Sunmi said, “The Waterbomb method changed. In the early days, water guns were a measure of popularity. However, repeated episodes changed to a mechanical system, and singers sprayed water on the audience.”
She said, “Sometimes there are people who are mischievous. When I was singing, he fired a water gun into my mouth,” which drew laughter.
