The situation
J.Y. Park is making a comeback with his new single "WET" on the 23rd, which will be the main theme song for the "Waterbomb 2026" summer festival. This is his first summer song in about six years, following his 2020 release "When We Disco (Duet with Sunmi)". Park will perform at the Seoul and Busan stages of "Waterbomb" this year, and has already teased an upgraded level of radicalism in his outfit and performance.
What the internet did with it
- Netizens are anticipating the song's success, with some commenting on the simple yet eye-catching choreography of the "WET" challenge, which has already been joined by artists like WJSN's Dayoung and 82MAJOR.
- Theqoo users seem unbothered but mildly intrigued by Park's confident remarks, such as "I am the protagonist of 'Waterbomb' again this year", with one user saying — "he's really going all out this year, I'm lowkey excited to see what he does".
- TXT's Yeonjun has also participated in the "WET" dance challenge, further heating up the atmosphere and raising expectations for the song's release.
The open question
The exact details of Park's performance at "Waterbomb 2026" are still unclear, including the specifics of his outfit and the extent to which he will incorporate the "WET" challenge into his set.
