Singer Sunmi made a surprise appearance on the YouTube channel 'Teo's Salon Drip 2,' sharing candid and humorous behind-the-scenes stories about her recent viral 'Waterbomb' performance.

This honest and humorous perspective perfectly showcases Sunmi's unique charm. Her ability to maintain objectivity about herself while effortlessly weaving in humor is a testament to her years of experience in the entertainment industry.

Recalling the event, Sunmi explained, "It was around the time the 'Waterbomb' festival was just starting to gain traction, and I still had a strong 'maknae' image from Wonder Girls. I debuted a rather daring outfit on that stage for the first time," illustrating her conscious and strategic approach to image transformation.

Her ability to tell engaging stories was further highlighted through detailed explanations of the festival's evolution and amusing anecdotes, such as, "Sometimes, mischievous people would shoot water guns into my mouth while I was singing."
