Girl group H1-KEY has confirmed an appearance at ‘Waterbomb Seoul 2026’, showcasing their ‘Summer Queen’ prowess for a second straight year.

H1-KEY (Seoi, Riina, Hwiseo, Yel) has confirmed its appearance at ‘Waterbomb Seoul 2026(WATERBOMB SEOUL 2026)’ (hereinafter, ‘Waterbomb’), which will take place on July 26 at the KINTEX Outdoor Global Stage (KINTEX Exhibition Hall 2).

‘Waterbomb’ is a flagship Korean global festival IP, and this year it will unfold as a world tour starting in Seoul and connecting multiple overseas cities. As an icon embodying the event’s blazing energy and identity, H1-KEY joins the Seoul lineup, heightening anticipation among K-culture fans.

Last summer, H1-KEY actively promoted the title track ‘It Was Summer’ from its 4th mini album ‘Lovestruck(Lovestruck)’, emerging as a new ‘Summer Queen’. Through this year’s ‘Waterbomb’ stage, the group is set to cement its ‘Summer Queen’ status for a second consecutive year.

H1-KEY has earned great affection for its unrivaled live performance skills and wide-ranging concept versatility. Accordingly, attention is turning to the group’s new stage as well.

Meanwhile, in March this year, H1-KEY showcased a new ‘high-teen romance’ sensibility with the title track ‘To My First Love’ from its 5th mini album ‘LOVECHAPTER(LOVECHAPTER)’, carrying out diverse activities. The group has since been crisscrossing various university festivals and events, meeting fans through a variety of live stages.

Most recently, to commemorate the 2026 International Year of Volunteers, the group joined composer Yoon Il-sang on a remake track of ‘I Am Happy’, evoking warmth.
