[PHILIPPINES] Experience the Thrills of Waterbomb Manila: Day 2 Top Highlights

If there’s one thing Waterbomb Manila 2025 proved, it’s that this festival isn’t just about the music—it’s about the experience. It wasn’t just another night of performances; it was a rollercoaster of nostalgia, raw energy, and moments that left the crowd screaming for more.


1. Hyolyn’s Nostalgic Summer Anthems Took Everyone Back in Time

The second Hyolyn hit the stage, it was like being transported straight to a summer K-pop playlist from the 2010s. Fans lost it when she performed SISTAR’s classics Shake It, Ma Boy, and Touch My Body, turning the festival into a full-blown beach party. The energy in the crowd was unmatched—fans were jumping, singing, and waving their hands in sync. It was a moment that reminded everyone why SISTAR was the ultimate summer queen group, and Hyolyn? She still owns that title.


2. Jessi Being Jessi: Loud, Unfiltered, and Unapologetically Herself

If there was an award for the best fan interactions, Jessi would definitely win! She didn’t just perform—she completely owned the stage with her big, fun personality.

From the very beginning, she got everyone excited, telling jokes and making sure the crowd felt like they were all part of the show. Then came the funny moment when a fan asked her a cheeky question, and instead of getting awkward, Jessi laughed it off and turned it into a hilarious moment, showing why she’s one of the most down-to-earth stars around.

She even got a little emotional, sharing that the Philippines is like her third home, after the US and Korea. The crowd cheered loudly, and you could really feel the love between Jessi and her Filipino fans. To top it all off, she gave an amazing performance with songs like Zoom and Nunu Nana, making sure her set was the perfect mix of excitement, laughter, and superstar energy.

3. Kang Daniel’s Long-Awaited Manila Comeback

For Kang Daniel fans, this night was something special. It had been nearly three years since he last performed in Manila, and his return was nothing short of spectacular. His set may have had more chill vibes compared to the festival’s high-energy acts, but that didn’t stop him from owning the stage with his smooth vocals and effortless charisma. Even though his songs leaned on the more laid-back side, his visuals were screaming—no doubt about it. His angelic face and voice captivated the crowd, making every moment feel intimate and special. Whether he was flashing that signature smile or effortlessly gliding across the stage, he had everyone in a trance. And with every note he sang, it was clear—Kang Daniel doesn’t need to be loud to leave a lasting impact.

4. Sunmi’s Hypnotic Stage Presence

There’s something about Sunmi that just pulls you in. Whether it’s her hypnotic moves or the way she commands the stage with just a glance, she had the entire crowd hanging onto every beat. Her performances of 24 Hours and Gashina were nothing short of mesmerizing, and her elegant yet fierce energy was a highlight of the night. She didn’t need flashy gimmicks—her presence alone was enough to leave the audience spellbound.

A Night That Fans Won’t Forget

Waterbomb Manila Day 2 was pure magic. The energy, the connection between artists and fans, and the feeling of being part of something unforgettable—that’s what made this night special. One thing’s for sure: when Waterbomb Manila returns, fans will be lining up to experience it all over again—bigger, better, and wilder.
