(G)I-DLE Soyeon Performs Bold New Songs at Waterbomb 2026

Water spray filled the air at Hanwha Resort Seorak Sorano as (G)I-DLE leader Soyeon delivered an intense set at Waterbomb Sokcho 2026 on August 22. She debuted 2 unreleased solo tracks during the show, captivating the audience before her upcoming September comeback.

According to KBIZoom, the performer opened the festival showcase with her solo track "icebluerabbit" before diving into group hits such as "Wife," "Queencard," and "TOMBOY." The crowd felt it immediately as she transitioned into her solo single "Is this bad b****** number?" to build explosive energy. She dramatically removed her outer shirt during choreography for the new song "I Hate Vegetables," revealing a black bikini top underneath. Official event footage released on August 23 captured the dramatic routine and the venue atmosphere as her dancers assisted the on-stage transition.

Koreaboo reported that the daring stage routine generated mixed discussions online following clips uploaded to TikTok, with some comparing the styling discourse to other modern girl group stage outfits. According to KBIZoom, Soyeon also premiered another unreleased track titled "STAR," delivering direct lyrics over fast EDM beats ahead of her first solo release in over 5 years. She also released a music video for "I Hate Vegetables" on her YouTube channel "Girl Soyeon Baekseo" shortly after the festival. This marks a daring promotional strategy that signals her growing creative autonomy.

Soyeon and her group now prepare for the 2026 i-dle WORLD TOUR [Syncopation] IN MACAU on August 29 and 30 at Galaxy Arena. The two unreleased songs preview a confident, boundary-pushing solo comeback in early September.
