After two electrifying days, Waterbomb Manila 2025 has officially ended with a spectacular closing performance from K-pop star Jessi.

On Sunday, February 24, Jessi graced the stage of the festival at Quirino Grandstand in Rizal Park and treated Filipino fans with her hit songs “What Type of X” and “Gucci”.

She also showed her take on Dynamic Duo's trending track from Street Woman Fighter 2 “Smoke,” her collaboration with #Gun “MiChinNom,” and another Street Woman Fighter classic “Cold Blooded,” “Spirit Animal,” and “Gum.”

Just like her fellow performers, Jessi was overwhelmed with the support of the Filipino crowd and shared her gratitude for welcoming her after taking a break from performing for six months.

“I haven't performed in six months, and I'm like… I was so sad because I wanted to be on stage to be with you guys…” said Jessi during her Waterbomb segment. “For six months, I've been holding in so much anger -- I'm just kidding! But sometimes you've got to let things go and learn… and just do music.”
