J.Y. Park (54), the oldest active dance singer in the industry, is fully prepared to meet his fans as he gears up for his appearance at "Waterbomb Seoul 2026" with a bold dance challenge.

The "Waterbomb" organizers recently released a challenge video of J.Y. Park on their official social media channels, accompanied by the caption, "Get wet, make me sweat."

In the video, J.Y. Park appears wearing a white sleeveless T-shirt and pants. Looking noticeably leaner—as if he has recently lost weight—he caught viewers' attention with a lively performance alongside male and female dancers. He wrapped up the clip by firing a water gun at the camera, heightening anticipation for his upcoming stage.

Prior to this, J.Y. Park built even more excitement with an acting challenge. He showcased various emotions, including temptation, sadness, aegyo (cuteness), and anger, while asking, "Are you coming to Waterbomb?" His signature aegyo version, in particular, drew significant attention.

Celebrating his 31st anniversary since debut, the veteran singer has received an enthusiastic response from fans for his willingness to fearlessly take on new challenges. This marks his second consecutive year performing at the Waterbomb festival.

Last year, J.Y. Park made headlines by performing his hit songs while wearing a hot pink see-through halter neck outfit and plastic pants.

J.Y. Park is scheduled to take the stage for TEAM GREEN at "Waterbomb Seoul 2026", which will be held at the outdoor Global Stage at KINTEX in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do, on July 26.
