BamBam kicked things off with a heartfelt nod to his Filipino fans by performing Raining in Manila, the hit song by local band Lola Amour. The choice was a perfect blend of his signature charm and a tribute to the Philippines, a country he’s often expressed his love for. As the crowd sang along, it was clear that the connection between BamBam and his Aghases was stronger than ever. The rainy vibes of the track paired perfectly with the festival’s water-soaked atmosphere, making it a moment to remember.
“Shot Puno” Steals the Show
No BamBam performance would be complete without his iconic “shot puno” moment, and he didn’t disappoint. Mid-set, he flashed the familiar hand gesture that’s become a fan favorite. But this time, he added a playful twist—instead of reaching for a bottle of beer, he invited the crowd to douse him with water. The fans happily obliged, turning the moment into a splashy celebration that had everyone laughing and cheering. It was peak BamBam: spontaneous, fun, and dripping with charisma.

BamBam wasn’t the only K-pop star making waves on day two. The lineup also featured powerhouse vocalist Hyolyn, along with girl groups Viviz and OHMYGIRL, each bringing their own flair to the festival. Held at the iconic Quirino Grandstand in Rizal Park, Waterbomb Manila 2025 is a summer extravaganza that combines electrifying performances with a water battle royale—think water guns, hoses, and a whole lot of fun. It’s a concept that started in Seoul from July 5 to 7 and has since taken its splashy spectacle on a world tour, hitting cities like Hong Kong, Dubai, Japan, Singapore, and Bangkok.
