Singer Bada appeared on 'Radio Star' and revealed the story of her impromptu performance of 'MAD' at a K-pop party, which was not on the schedule. Cheerfully referring to herself as the "Mother of K-Pop," she shared footage from that time when she enjoyed the stage so much she didn't even notice the bruises on her knees, and sent an open love call to Waterbomb for still not calling her. She also revealed her unique passion for filming impromptu reels with citizens she first met on the street.
The the 5th broadcast of MBC's 'Radio Star' (planned by Choi Yoon-jeong; directed by Yoon Hye-jin, Hwang Yun-sang, and Byun Da-hee) features an episode titled "Between Fashion and Passion: Cancer Shot Hip~" with Choi Won-young, Lee Tae-ran, Bada, and Martin.
Bada recently revealed the story of her impromptu appearance on stage to perform 'MAD' at a large-scale K-pop party held recently. She stated that she went on stage to give strength to those attending the party, and footage of her pouring out explosive energy was released, leaving everyone in awe.

Watching the video, Bada made a self-confession, saying, "Even I think I wasn't in my right mind back then," bringing laughter to the studio. Although she enjoyed the stage so much that her knees were bruised, she revealed that she didn't even know about the bruises until the performance ended, surprising everyone. She cites that day's performance as one she will never forget. She further expressed pride by noting that 'MAD' does more than just being a hit song—it serves a special function in relieving people's stress.
In fact, playing 'MAD' at awkward gatherings or dull settings instantly changes people's expressions. The studio erupted in laughter upon hearing stories that 'MAD' is also used as a killer move to liven up dinner parties.
Bada, who receives love calls from various festivals every summer, mentioned Waterbomb as the only festival she has yet to attend. She said, "My name is Bada (sea), so not calling me for Waterbomb is like skimming the surface of a watermelon," openly expressing her regret.
Bada then introduced herself as "the mother of 'MAD,' the mother of idols, and the mother of K-Pop," showing strong confidence in performing at Waterbomb. Her bold appeal emphasizing that she, who has been part of K-pop history, is an essential presence for Waterbomb filled the studio with laughter.
Bada also showcased a special stage dedicated to Waterbomb organizers. From the start, she emitted explosive energy, instantly turning the studio into a performance venue and demonstrating the presence befitting the "Mother of K-Pop." Interest grows in what her sincere and passionate stage for Waterbomb will look like.
The program also revealed stories about Bada's recent deep dive into filming reels. Although she has been loved since her S.E.S. days, she stated that she actively films reels to maintain a fresh sense of style and stay connected with the current era.
Bada revealed that when she meets citizens on the street who recognize her, she immediately starts a reel dance on the spot. Citizens who were initially flustered end up dancing along with Bada's passion, creating unexpected scenes.
Bada added that not everyone welcomes filming, so if someone seems uncomfortable, she stops immediately and greets them as a gesture of consideration. Recently, requests have even come in asking her to visit their neighborhoods. She is now publicly recruiting new reel filming locations by asking people to recommend neighborhoods with beautiful streets via DM.
