Waterbomb Festival is returning to Hong Kong this summer, and going to Macau for the first time
We've been itching to go to a music festival soon, and Waterbomb has finally answered our prayers, announcing confirmation of their Hong Kong dates this year. This festival originates from South Korea, and is well-known for being a water party with liberal use of water guns on top of a music festival, so be prepared to get soaked. Mark your calendars for October 4 and 5, as Waterbomb will be taking over the Central Harbourfront. The 2025 lineup has yet to be confirmed, but last year saw major Korean artists like Rain, Jay Park, Loco, Gray, Jessi, StayC, PH-1, and more perform on our stage, so this edition is bound to be pretty stellar as well. If you're planning on going, log onto their Instagram and comment who you'd like to see at the festival in their artist wishlist post – and hopefully with enough fan support, you'll get to see your favourite musicians live in Hong Kong. This year also marks the first time ever that the Waterbomb Festival is going to Macau. The precise venue hasn't been confirmed yet, but the dates are coming up soon next month, on August 9 to 10. Ticket information for both events will be released soon, so check this space. We're keeping our fingers crossed that this year the festival's queues will be managed better – and also praying that we won't be hit by a typhoon during the event again!

She said that this was a priority for her and that she wanted to give back to her family before spending money on herself or anything else. In April 2025, news had surfaced that she bought a 2.4 billion KRW (approximately 1.8 million USD) standalone house in Songjeong-dong, Seoul. Many assumed this was a result of her Waterbomb fame. However, Eun Bi clarified that although she did buy the house, her parents came first. She had already bought them the car before making the real estate investment, showing her gratitude and love for her family.
