Seo In-young proves stage presence with 13-song medley ahead of Waterbomb Festival

Singer Seo In-young has once again proven her status as an "original stage powerhouse," performing 13 of her signature hits in a single stretch ahead of her 20th debut anniversary.

On the 12th, via her YouTube channel "Gaegwacheonseon Seo In-young," Seo presented a live medley of her hits to prepare for her upcoming Waterbomb Festival stage. Rather than a simple trip down memory lane, the performance served as a condensed showcase of her 20-year musical career.

At the start of the video, Seo admitted, "I am approaching my 20th anniversary soon. It is my first time singing this many songs at once, so I feel a bit of pressure. Please don't skip the video and enjoy it with me until the end."

The medley kicked off with "Cinderella" and flowed seamlessly through 13 tracks, including "Into the Rhythm," "High Heels," "OH MY GOSH," "Bad Woman," "Let's Break Up," "Love Me," "BUBBLE LOVE," "Written as Love, Called Pain," "I Want You," "Teach Me," "Goodbye Romance," and "ANYMORE."

After finishing the medley, a breathless Seo confessed, "I'm so out of breath. I think this is truly the first time I've sung this many songs." The live session functioned as more than just digital content; it was a rigorous "practical rehearsal" for her upcoming live appearance.

The milestone highlights her two-decade career. Since her days with the group Jewelry, Seo has established herself as a solo powerhouse with numerous hits, including "Cinderella." This medley acted as a mini-concert, summarizing her entire musical trajectory.

"I am so happy to be given this time to sing like this again," Seo remarked. "If people want more, I will make another one. Please listen to my songs once more—from beginning to end."

- Lost 4kg for Waterbomb... "I even reinvested my appearance fee into the stage"

The performance is drawing extra attention as Seo prepares for the Waterbomb Festival in Sokcho on the 22nd.

She recently revealed her intense preparation, including strict dieting and exercise, noting she lost 4kg over the past month to reach approximately 46kg. Given the high expectations for costumes and performance at Waterbomb, her determination to return to a major stage is evident.

Seo even drew headlines by revealing she underwent arm liposuction to perfect her look for the show. She also explained that she reinvested her appearance fee back into stage preparations, signaling her intent to deliver a performance worthy of her reputation rather than just making a cameo.

Closing the video with a burst of confidence, she declared, "Kwon Eun-bi, BIBI, move aside. Seo In-young is coming."

Ultimately, the 13-song marathon proves her words are no mere bravado. For Seo, her 20th anniversary is not just a celebration of past glory, but a demonstration of her ongoing capability on stage.

Singing from "Cinderella" to "ANYMORE" was both a summary of her musical history and a declaration of intent for the Waterbomb Festival. While 20 years have passed, her competitive spirit for the stage remains as sharp as ever.
