SINGAPORE – South Korean rapper CL is the latest addition to Waterbomb Singapore’s performing line-up, reuniting her with fellow headliner Sandara Park. Both were members of K-pop girl group 2NE1, which disbanded in 2016.
The popular summer music festival will be held in Singapore for the first time at Sentosa’s Siloso Beach on Aug 24 and 25.
CL, 33, whose real name is Lee Chae-rin, was the leader of 2NE1 before she embarked on a solo career in 2013, churning out hits such as The Baddest Female (2013), Hello B****es (2015), Lifted (2016) and Spicy (2021).
Apart from CL and Park, other artistes performing at the inaugural K-pop music extravaganza include Got7’s BamBam, 2NE1’s Sandara Park, rapper Bibi, singer Kwon Eunbi, girl group Viviz and dance crew Team Bebe.
Thai singer Sorn and Singaporean musicians lullaboy, Alyph and Haven are also among the acts. Organisers expect 20,000 people to attend.
