A guide to the WATERBOMB SINGAPORE 2025 performing artist lineup (by alphabetical order):
Day 1 (30 August 2025, Saturday)
– Music Performers
EXID (South Korea) – Team Sky
Known for their viral hit “Up & Down”, thanks to the legendary fan-cam of member HANI, K-pop all-girl quintet EXID proved they are not a one-hit wonder with subsequent catchy title songs like “Ah Yeah”, “DDD”, “I Love You”, and more. The group — comprising Solji, Elly, Hani, Hyelin, and Jeonghwa — is known for their catchy hooks, sultry vocals, and confident stage presence. Their music blends K-pop with elements of R&B, hip-hop, and electronic dance, creating a bold and versatile sound.
Their recent music release is the three-song single album ‘X’ with the title track “Fire” (불이나), celebrating their 10th anniversary as a group.
Huta [Minhyuk of BTOB] (South Korea) – Team Pink
Lee Minhyuk of vocal-centric BTOB is a talented all-rounder. As the veteran K-pop boy group’s main rapper, he commands attention with deft delivery of his rhymes, in contrast to the romantic verses helmed by his teammates. As a soloist, Lee is Huta, who composes his own tracks on his debut album Hutazone and sophomore record Boom.
Watch Huta flex engaging raps, pecs, and abs (yes, he’s known to be a defined hunk in the K-pop realm) on stage as he performs his explosive tracks live.
JAM REPUBLIC (Singapore) – Team Sky
Jam Republic is a globally recognised Singapore-based dance crew formed under the talent agency of the same name. They gained widespread attention after competing on the South Korean show Street Woman Fighter 2, where their dynamic performances captivated viewers.
The crew consists of five powerhouse dancers — Kirsten, Latrice, Ling, Audrey, and Emma — each bringing a unique style and impressive résumé from previous experiences, having worked with global icons like Rihanna, Justin Bieber, and BTS. Known for their bold choreography, cultural fusion, and fierce stage presence, witness the quintet execute visually stunning sequences that’ll make you want to bust a move or two.
MINHO of SHINee (South Korea) – Team Pink
The main rapper of legendary K-pop boy group SHINee is a beastly idol. Carrying hard-hitting raps for the genre-bending team, Minho has a soft charm beyond the tanned and muscled exterior.
Minho is the last of the quintet to go solo, via his debut mini-album Chase in December 2022. He followed up with a full-length record with his first studio album, Call Back, in November 2024. Expect a raised temperature as he kicks off his segment, appearing with a hot bod and deep, grounded vocals.
SORN & Seungyeon (Thailand & South Korea) – Team Sky
In a rare appearance as a duo, SORN & Seungyeon will prove why their pairing is the one to watch. Both were groupmates at the now-inactive K-pop girl group CLC. Their fate didn’t end there, as they are currently labelmates at global entertainment company WILD, which represents them as soloists.
Anticipate a WATERBOMB SINGAPORE-only collaboration stage from the pair, who most likely perform a curated setlist of classic CLC hits and their respective solo composition. Of course, there’ll certainly be ‘Rowdy’, a track by SORN that features Seungyeon.
TAEMIN of SHINee (South Korea) – Team Sky
If Minho of SHINee is sexy and beastly, fellow member Taemin dominates the sensual realm. Debuting in 2008 as SHINee’s youngest member and main dancer, he launched his solo career in 2014 with debut EP Ace, showcasing a more mature, experimental sound.
His music blends sultry R&B, synth-pop, and dramatic choreography, with standout tracks like ‘Move’, ‘Criminal’, and ‘Advice’ earning critical acclaim for the songs’ artistry and boldness. The dance machine is also incomparable when he’s commanding the stage. Here’s hoping Minho and Taemin will have a surprise collaboration stage of SHINee songs as a treat to the Generation 2 K-pop fans in the crowd.
Team Bebe (South Korea) – Team Sky
A formidable all-female dance crew from South Korea, Team Bebe first appeared on the scene in 2022 and gained immediate attention after winning the South Korean reality dance competition Street Woman Fighter 2 in 2023.
The ensemble is led by the charismatic and widely respected choreographer Bada Lee and consists of members Lusher, Kyma, Tatter, Minah, Cheche, and Sowon. Although each dancer has their own unique style, they are renowned for their trend-setting choreography, daring stage presence, and razor-sharp synchrony. They have a loyal fan following and have collaborated with well-known K-pop artists like NMIXX (‘Know About Me’), thanks to their performances that combine street flair with high-concept artistry.
WHYLUCAS (Singapore) – Team Pink
A rising talent to watch, Lucas Wang, widely known by his stage name WHYLUCAS, is known to charm audience with his heartfelt lyrics and guitar-driven pop sound. The singer-songwriter began his music career by producing music which blends classical influences with modern pop.
WHYLUCAS represented Singapore as the only local contestant on Chuang Asia Season 2, where he achieved a spot in the Top 9 during the early stages and later placed 18th overall. With tracks like ‘Oh, Krissy Baby!’ and ‘Where’d It Go?’, the next wave of Singaporean talents is gaining recognition on the global scene, thanks to WHYLUCAS.

2NE1 (South Korea) – Team Pink
Y’all asked for it and got your wish. 2NE1 doesn’t need an introduction. As global superstars they are, the legendary K-pop quartet broke records and even made headlines when they reunited on the Coachella stage for a surprise performance of ‘I Am The Best’ during CL’s performance slot during the 88Rising ‘Head in the Clouds Forever’ set.
They are the hitmakers of iconic tunes like ‘Fire’, ‘I Love You’, and ‘Come Back Home’. Two of 2NE1 are no strangers to the WATERBOMB SINGAPORE stage as members CL and Sandara Park performed as soloists for WATERBOMB SINGAPORE 2024. The group most recently performed in Singapore in December 2024 for a sold-out two-day headlining comeback concert.
Anson Lo (Hong Kong) – Team Sky
Many may know Anson Lo as a member of Hong Kong’s popular boy group MIRROR. But he has since carved a name for himself as a multifaceted performer — as a singer, dancer, and actor (especially for the Hong Kong remake of popular BL Ossan’s Love). After debuting with the group in 2018, he has launched a successful solo career marked by emotionally resonant Cantopop tracks like ‘A Lifelong Mission’, ‘Megahit’, and ‘King Kong’.
Lo’s music often blends heartfelt storytelling with sleek choreography and bold visuals, reflecting both vulnerability and confidence. Thus, his charisma and dedication have made him a cultural icon in Hong Kong’s entertainment scene, inspiring a new wave of contemporary Canto-pop appreciation.
Ash Island (South Korea) – Team Sky
Rising to prominence after placing fourth on the South Korean reality competition series High School Rapper 2, ASH ISLAND (born Yoon Jin-young) found ground with his staunch followers for his emotionally raw lyrics and moody, melodic hip-hop sound. The 25-year-old South Korean rapper and singer quickly gained a following with his introspective debut album Ash.
ASH ISLAND’s music often explores themes of heartbreak, identity, and inner turmoil, blending atmospheric beats with a distinctive vocal tone. With standout tracks like ‘Paranoid’, ‘Melody’, and ‘Error’, the charismatic rapper has carved out a unique space in the Korean hip-hop scene, balancing vulnerability with swagger.
Estelle Fly (Singapore) – Team Pink
For the uninitiated, Estelle Fly has an interesting music career trajectory who has carved out a unique space in Singapore’s music and entertainment scene.

Beyond music, Estelle is also active as an actress (Alienated) and engaging content creator, reflecting her versatility and creative drive.
Jay B (South Korea)- Team Sky
Known as the leader of K-pop group GOT7, JAY B has since emerged as a versatile solo artist who appeals with his introspective lyrics and progressive sound. He made his solo debut in 2021, experimenting with genres like R&B, rock, and pop influences across projects like SOMO:Fume, Be Yourself, and his first full-length album Archive 1: [Road Runner]. The latter record, released in 2024, features tracks like ‘Crash’ and ‘Cloud Nine’, showcasing both high-energy performance and smooth vocal delivery.
JAY B’s solo work reflects his artistic evolution and personal storytelling, offering fans a deeper look into his creative identity beyond the group dynamic.
JUNNY (South Korea) – Team Pink
You’ve probably heard JUNNY’s viral ‘Invitation’ making its rounds on TikTok before. Born Kim Hyung-jun, JUNNY is a Korean-Canadian singer-songwriter known for his smooth vocals and emotionally rich R&B sound. He debuted in 2017 with the EP record Monochrome and has since built a reputation both as a solo artist and a sought-after songwriter for K-pop acts like EXO, IU, and NCT.
