Singer Bada expressed her enthusiasm for participating in Waterbomb.
The the 5th episode of MBC's variety show 'Radio Star' was themed "Between Fashion and Passion: A Hip Twist~," featuring Choi Won-young, Lee Tae-ran, Bada, and Curtis Martin.
On that day, Bada said, "Thanks to my name, I get invited to many festivals every summer. But the only one I haven't been able to attend is Waterbomb. Does that make sense?"

Continuing, Bada added, "My name is Bada, so not inviting me to Waterbomb feels like just skimming the surface. Where water should be overflowing, shouldn't I show up with a strong presence? Waterbomb has been preparing since its early days in Korea." She spoke passionately about her desire to participate.
Bada stated, "I am the mother of 'Mad' and the mother of K-POP. If there is respect for K-POP, then Waterbomb without Bada cannot be considered a true Waterbomb. Anyone can see that I should be there."
When asked whether her participation in this year's Waterbomb had already been finalized, Bada replied, "My passion will never fade, so it would be fine to invite me next year. Next year is the right time. Even if a huge star arrives late, as a true professional, my pride isn't something I compromise on," drawing laughter from the audience.
