As summer heats up, Korea’s WATERBOMB has become a viral sensation in recent years, serving as a grand stage for K-pop and K-hip hop artists. Beyond its unwavering popularity in Korea, WATERBOMB has become a global festival, giving rise to new WATERBOMB MVP rookies each year, making the event even richer. One group to watch in the 2024 WATERBOMB is 82MAJOR.
Debuting last October with a main focus on the hip-hop genre, 82MAJOR has garnered public attention even before their debut through their activities with RAREHOUSE, showcasing their hip-hop style, skills, and talents as artists. 82MAJOR’s debut track “FIRST CLASS” amassed 4.29 million views, marking a bold start. Their recent hip-hop album ‘BEAT by 82,’ released on April 29, features the track “Choke,” which presents a new paradigm of 5th-generation K-pop idols with its ratchet sound and addictive chorus.
Amidst the global Y2K craze, 82MAJOR has been heating up the summer even more with their charm and energy at the WATERBOMB festivals in Hong Kong and Dubai. They received the loudest cheers and shout-outs for their special performance of the iconic Korean female singer Lee Hyori’s debut song “10 Minutes,” which garnered immense audience and fan support.
In their final performance at WATERBOMB, 82MAJOR’s hip-hop remix version of Lee Hyori’s “10 Minutes” captivated the audience with their trendy musical sensibilities and unique take on the song, eliciting surprise and admiration from the crowd. As 82MAJOR rises as a star at WATERBOMB, their future endeavors and the anticipated release of their “10 Minutes” track not just live but also as a digital release is eagerly awaited.
