Former BBGIRLS Yujeong unveils remake project for Waterbomb Sokcho 2026

Former BBGIRLS Yujeong has launched her first solo remake project, playing a strategic new card for her upcoming 'Waterbomb Sokcho 2026' performance. Rather than relying on hit songs from her group days, her strategy is to establish her presence as a solo artist by reinterpreting famous summer anthems with her own unique color.

On the 18th, Yujeong released her remake single 'Prince of the Sea' through various online music release platforms.

'Prince of the Sea' is a signature summer seasonal song by Park Myeong-su, a track that has long been beloved by the public for its cheerful melody and catchy chorus. While maintaining the pleasant and popular sentiment of the original, Yujeong reconstructed it into a fresh summer track by adding a refreshing house sound and rewriting the lyrics to reflect her own sensibility.

The momentum continues as Yujeong is also scheduled to release a remake of Uhm Jeong-hwa's 'Invitation' on the 22nd, the same day as her 'Waterbomb Sokcho 2026' performance.

While 'Prince of the Sea' targets a refreshing and cheerful summer image, 'Invitation' leans into a more mature and sensual atmosphere. By presenting two songs with vastly different vibes in succession, she aims to showcase her musical spectrum and stage presence simultaneously.

This project is garnering significant attention as it addresses the curiosity surrounding Yujeong's appearance at 'Waterbomb.'

After Yujeong confirmed her appearance at 'Waterbomb Sokcho 2026,' some fans raised questions such as, "She transitioned to acting, so what kind of songs will she sing?", "She doesn't have solo songs, so how will she fill the Waterbomb stage?", and "Since BBGIRLS is currently active, wouldn't it be awkward to sing 'Rollin'?"

Since leaving BBGIRLS in 2024, Yujeong has expanded her career into acting. As BBGIRLS currently operates as a three-member group consisting of Min-yeong, Eunji, and Yuna, interest naturally shifted toward what repertoire Yujeong would choose for her solo stage instead of the group's representative hits.

The answer Yujeong provided was 'remakes.'

By selecting songs already familiar to the public, she ensures audience accessibility while applying her own signature style through new arrangements and performances. Choosing two songs with opposing characters like 'Prince of the Sea' and 'Invitation' is seen as an attempt to build her identity as a solo singer, going beyond simply filling stage time.

Her visuals also appear tailored for the Waterbomb stage.

Recently, Yujeong shared photos on SNS showcasing her toned physique in a crop top and mini skirt. Having previously revealed that she lost 7kg, she emphasized both her healthy beauty and star quality with a much slimmer appearance.

In essence, she has integrated music, performance, and visuals into a single promotional strategy. For Yujeong, who has been focusing on acting since leaving the group, this stage serves as a testing ground to reconfirm her standing as a singer.

As Waterbomb is a festival where intense performance and visual imagery are just as important as the music, there is high anticipation regarding how Yujeong's new remakes will be received on-site.

Yujeong will take the stage at 'Waterbomb Sokcho 2026,' held at the Hanwha Resort Seorak Sorano in Sokcho, Gangwon-do, on the 22nd. All eyes are on how she will leave her mark as she begins this new chapter as both an actress and a solo singer, moving forward from her well-known identity with BBGIRLS.
