54-year-old Park Jin-young reveals Waterbomb challenge, "Are you coming?"

"Get wet, make me sweat" Park Jin-young Teases Waterbomb

Singer Park Jin-young, celebrating his 31st anniversary since debut, has teased the heat of the summer festival. Recently, Park Jin-young posted a Waterbomb challenge video on his social media with the phrase "Get wet, make me sweat." In the video, he wore a white sleeveless top and pants, delivering a rhythmic performance alongside dancers. At the end of the video, he expressed the festive atmosphere by shooting a water gun toward the camera.

Previously, Park Jin-young showcased an acting challenge where he expressed the line "You're coming to Waterbomb, right?" through four different emotions: seduction, sadness, anger, and aegyo (cuteness). In particular, the aegyo version, which showcased his signature slyness, spread rapidly online. His sharper silhouette, appearing to have recently lost weight, and his toned physique—defying his age of 54—are the results of his rigorous self-management.

Taking the Stage with TEAM GREEN on the 26th

Park Jin-young will perform on the 'Waterbomb Seoul 2026' TEAM GREEN stage, held at the KINTEX Outdoor Global Stage in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do, on the 26th. This marks his second consecutive year performing at Waterbomb. Last year, he appeared in a hot pink see-through halter neck outfit and vinyl pants. At the time, he devoted himself to preparation, including losing 5kg in two weeks for the performance, and even faced an unexpected situation where his vinyl pants tore during the show.

Park Jin-young sent a message to fans, saying, "Please look forward to this year's outfit as well." The performance on the 26th will feature Zico, Sunmi, RIIZE, Dayoung, and others, with Dutch DJ Medics closing the finale.

Waterbomb Seoul 2026 Three-Day Lineup

'Waterbomb Seoul 2026' will take place for three days from July 24th to 26th. On the first day, the 24th, Taemin, Lee Young-ji, KISS OF LIFE, and Simon Dominic will take the stage. American producer Diplo, a Grammy winner who has collaborated with BTS and BLACKPINK, will also appear. On the 25th, Jay Park, Karina, Loco, Gray, and BIBI will perform, joined by world-renowned DJ Nightmare.

This festival is designed as a complex cultural festival. A 'Sunset Market' featuring street fashion and lifestyle brands will be operated, and the tropical-concept food zone will offer halal and vegan menus. At 'Lemon Balm,' a wellness beverage booth, visitors can taste lemonade. The event is for audiences aged 19 and older.

The Power of a Veteran Performing for Two Consecutive Years

Last year at Waterbomb, Park Jin-young performed his signature hits such as 'Don't Leave Me,' 'She Was Pretty,' 'Honey,' 'Who Is Your Mother,' and 'When We Disco.' The challenge video released by the Waterbomb organizers on their official SNS follows the emotional acting challenge previously showcased by Park Jin-young.
