Lee Young Ji's plea to avoid water at Waterbomb Festival fails hilariously

Singer Lee Young Ji made a special request to the audience to protect her meticulously prepared stage outfit, but she couldn't escape the water splashes that define the Waterbomb Festival, drawing laughter from fans.

On the 24th, Lee posted a selfie on her SNS story with the message, "I like my face today, so could you please not spray water? Is there any way?"

In the released photo, Lee boasted a more mature look with nude-tone makeup and glamorous blonde hair. She perfectly pulled off her stage outfit adorned with various accessories, showcasing a different charm from her usual playful persona.

Seemingly satisfied with her styling that day, Lee left a desperate plea to her fans before the performance. Given the nature of the Waterbomb Festival, where getting splashed is the core concept, her style was bound to be ruined, but it appeared she wanted to maintain her look for as long as possible.

However, her wish did not last long.

A few hours later, Lee revealed her soaking wet self with the caption, "No way." In the photo, she looked at the camera completely drenched from head to toe, her resigned expression providing great comedic relief.

Her "no water" request ultimately failed at the venue. However, rather than taking it unpleasantly, Lee showed her signature cheerful charm by embracing it as part of the performance.

The Waterbomb Festival is a signature summer music festival where artists and audiences enjoy splashing water on one another, making the water shower a key element of the fun. Lee also embraced the atmosphere on stage, actively engaging with the crowd.

Lee is set to appear on the tvN variety program "Space Rice Cake Shop," which premieres on the 31st at 8:35 PM. "Space Rice Cake Shop" is a spin-off of "Earth Arcade" and will showcase the new chemistry between Lee Eun-ji, Mimi, Lee Young Ji, and An Yu Jin set against the backdrop of a rice cake shop.
