Former Brave Girls Member Nam Yu-jeong to Perform at Waterbomb, Sparks Debate Over Song Choices

Nam Yu-jeong (남유정), a former member of Brave Girls (now BBGIRLS), is set to perform for the first time at South Korea's premier summer music event, Waterbomb, following her transition to acting. However, the news has unexpectedly drawn mixed reactions, with many fans expressing concern over her lack of solo material and wondering, “What will she even sing?” This has also fueled intense discussion about whether she will perform Brave Girls' songs.

Yu-jeong is confirmed to appear at 'WATERBOMB SOKCHO 2026' on August 22, held at Hanwha Resort Seorak Sorano in Sokcho, Gangwon Province. This marks her first invitation to Waterbomb since her debut. Her agency stated that through this performance, she aims to break away from her previous bright and healthy image, appearing on stage as a new 'Summer Muse.'

Yu-jeong has always been beloved by fans for her cheerful and friendly demeanor. This time, in addition to her signature charm, she is expected to showcase a more mature side rarely seen before, leading many to anticipate a different kind of performance.

However, discussions online have been polarized since the performance announcement. Many Brave Girls fans commented, “She's transitioned to acting, so what will she sing?” and “Waterbomb is all about stage performance, but she doesn't have solo songs, so it feels like it'll be hard for her to carry the whole show.” Other comments included, “Can she still sing Brave Girls' songs?” and “'Rollin'' is still BBGIRLS' signature song; wouldn't it be awkward if she sang it?” and “She's already left the group, so if she performs group songs alone, it doesn't seem appropriate.” These comments highlight significant questions about her song choices and stage arrangements.
