Is it getting hot in here?
Koreaboo
EXO’s Chanyeol just set the internet on fire with his latest festival appearance. The popular K-Pop idol took the stage at Waterbomb Bali, and his performance quickly turned into one of the most talked-about moments online.
Since completing his military service, Chanyeol has been pursuing solo activities while other members continue their enlistments. His second mini album Upside Down dropped on August 25, adding to the string of individual projects EXO members have been focusing on in the absence of full group schedules.
But it was his Waterbomb stage that really grabbed everyone’s attention. The traveling festival, which started in Seoul and now spans multiple Asian cities, is known for wild energy and unforgettable stages. Still, fans and casual viewers alike didn’t expect Chanyeol to bring the kind of shock factor he did.
In one viral clip, the idol was seen drinking straight from a Don Julio bottle in the middle of his set, leaving the crowd cheering.

Other videos captured him showing off his guitar skills — something longtime fans know well, but that surprised newer audiences who weren’t aware of his musical versatility.
