Kwon Eun-bi Breaks Silence on 'Waterbomb' Outfit Controversy: 'Why Blame Me?'

Singer Kwon Eun-bi has finally addressed the controversy surrounding her bold Waterbomb performance outfit.

On the episode of MBC's variety show The Manager (Jeonji Jeok Chamgyeon Sijeom) aired on the 23rd, the 'Waterbomb Goddess' Kwon Eun-bi made a special appearance.

Host Jun Hyun-moo commented, "You really made headlines this time," referencing the 'Waterbomb Seoul 2025' festival. Kwon Eun-bi responded, "I wanted to show a new side of myself on stage, and the reaction was amazing," expressing her satisfaction.

However, Kwon Eun-bi revealed that she had to cancel her 'Waterbomb Busan 2025' performance and pause her schedule due to unexpected health issues.

Updating fans on her current condition, she shared, "I'm okay now. I worked really hard on my diet to prepare for the stage and probably pushed myself too much. I usually weigh around 47–48kg, but now I'm down to 41–42kg. I lost a lot of weight."



Kwon Eun-bi also met with Lee Si-an, a contestant from Single's Inferno 4 and her fellow Waterbomb stage performer.

Lee Si-an recalled, "You came to do a Waterbomb outfit rehearsal. Watching your outfit made me think about how much I need to work out. But the day before, you definitely wore a white sleeveless shirt."



Explaining the change in her outfit, Kwon Eun-bi said, "I showed a photo of my stage outfit. It's fine on stage, but wearing it alone in the practice room felt awkward. I didn't realize how different it would look in person compared to the photo."

When Lee Si-an joked, "You have to be prepared to stand next to you. Why did you wear that?" Kwon Eun-bi responded, "This is how my mom made me, what can I do? Why are you blaming me? You wouldn't say that to my mom," expressing her frustration at the criticism.
