Ko Young-wook, formerly of the group Rula, criticized singer B.I's controversial 'Waterbomb' performance.

On the 27th, Ko shared an article about B.I's 'Waterbomb,' which sparked controversy over its sexual content, on his SNS, stating, "I may not be familiar with it since I live in the countryside, but isn't Waterbomb just a competition among singers to see who undresses more?"

He added, "Thinking of Africa, where water is scarce, I feel deeply ashamed."

Previously, B.I became the center of controversy on the 25th during a performance at 'Waterbomb Seoul 2026' held at KINTEX in Ilsanseo-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, where he delivered a performance reminiscent of sexual acts.

He knelt surrounded by male dancers, unzipped his jumpsuit, and sang while holding a microphone held by a male dancer. After the performance, the video spread, triggering allegations of inappropriate content.

However, he was indicted in 2013 for multiple instances of sexual assault and forced indecency against minors, sentenced to two years and six months in prison by the Supreme Court, served his sentence, and was released in 2015.
