Waterbomb is a representative summer festival in Korea where singers and audiences form teams to enjoy water play and performances simultaneously. Unlike last year, when it was held in five cities, this year it will take place in nine cities starting with Seoul in June, followed by Gwangju, Daejeon, Daegu, and others. Hanwha Hotels & Resorts, which brought Waterbomb to Sokcho City, explained that they focused on securing high-impact singers to help recover the tourism industry in Gangwon Province, which suffered from wildfire damage.

At Waterbomb Sokcho, Jay Park, who crosses the boundaries of hip-hop and R&B with his unique vocal tone, will perform. Jessie, famous for her bold stage productions, will also participate. In addition, a total of nine artists from the hip-hop label AOMG, including Gray, Loco, and Woo Won-jae, will take the stage.

Hanwha Hotels & Resorts also prepared a room package consisting of accommodations (2 nights), Waterpia tickets (up to 4), and Waterbomb admission tickets (up to 4). Detailed information is available on the Hanwha Resort website.

CEO Kim Hyung-jo said, "We are making great efforts to minimize customer inconvenience by collaborating with Sokcho City to deploy additional safety personnel and increase transportation options," adding, "Starting with Waterbomb Sokcho, we plan to actively promote various cultural events that can coexist with the local community."

Hanwha Hotels & Resorts stated that after long preparations, they successfully brought Waterbomb to Seorak Sorano in Sokcho City to revitalize the local economy and tourism. This is the first time Waterbomb will be held in a city with a population under 100,000. Hanwha Hotels & Resorts expects that hosting Waterbomb Sokcho will bring about 10 billion KRW in economic benefits to the region through tourist attraction and employment effects.
