South Korean-American rapper Jessi amazed the fans with her performance at the closing show of the first Waterbomb in Manila last Sunday.
The "ZOOM" hitmaker said she returned to Manila after two years.
In 2022, Jessi had her first concert in the country and also participated in the "Head in the Clouds Manila" festival.
"I came here and had my first concert and.. your energy and everything it was so [...] amazing. I remember that moment," Jessi said.
Jessi also mused on how she sees the Philippines as her "third home," following the United States and South Korea.
"I consider the Philippines like my third home," she said.
Jessi concluded the two-day Waterbomb in Manila at the Quirino Grandstand with a bang, as she performed some of her iconic songs, including "ZOOM," "NUNU NANA," "Cold Blooded," and even did her own rendition of "Smoke" by Dynamicduo.
Jessi told the crowd how she was practicing saying "Mahal Kita" the whole day.
The popular South Korean music festival, Waterbomb, made its debut in the Philippines on February 22 and 23, with a roster of performers including K-pop, K-Hiphop, and EDM artists.
BamBam, Kang Daniel, Hyolyn, Sunmi, and Oh My Girl also performed on the second day of Waterbomb Manila 2025.
