VV's daring performance at 'Waterbomb Seoul 2026' drew mixed reactions online.
VV took the stage at the outdoor global stage at KINTEX in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, on the 25th and delivered her signature intense performance.
That day VV appeared wearing a white jumpsuit that revealed her figure and performed hit songs such as "Bamyanggeng" and "Bad X" in succession, heating up the atmosphere at the venue.
During the performance she unzipped the front zipper of the jumpsuit to reveal a bikini outfit and continued the stage. She then knelt surrounded by male dancers and performed choreography in which she sang toward a microphone positioned at face level.
Immediately after the performance, videos and photos capturing the scene quickly spread on social media and online communities.
Some netizens said the staging evoked sexual acts and reacted, "a performance that crossed the line," "it was too blatant and embarrassing to watch," "as a public performance the level should have been controlled," and "it seems to have crossed the boundary of art."
On the other hand, many defended her, saying, "It was a stage that fit the Waterbomb concept," "It was a VV-like performance," "we should respect freedom of expression," and "her stage presence was overwhelming."
'Waterbomb' is a summer music festival that has drawn attention every year for bold performances and refreshing stages. VV has consistently attracted attention since her debut for her unique musical world and intense performances, so opinions are clashing online between evaluations that this stage was an expression consistent with the concert concept and criticisms that the level was somewhat high.
