  • Kwon Eun Bi proudly says “I don’t share income anymore” after becoming a building owner thanks to Waterbomb popularity

    Kwon Eun Bi is living the dream — solo success, tons of ads, and now… a building under her name!

    On April 21, a new episode was uploaded on the Donghaemul and Baekdu Eunhyuk YouTube channel.

    In the video, Kwon Eun Bi opened up about her viral Waterbomb moment, her career boost, and her big investment move.

    The former IZ*ONE member confidently said, “Is there a Waterbomb goddess I feel competitive with? Honestly, not even one. I don’t care. Aren’t I the best?” Eunhyuk backed her up, saying, “The original has a different level. I can’t argue with that.”

    Eun Bi also talked about how nervous she was at the time. “That was my first festival in Seoul. I was alone on such a big stage, and I was so nervous. You never know when success will hit. I didn’t think that performance would blow up,” she said.

    Surprisingly, she didn’t feel the buzz while performing. “I was on stage around 1 PM, and there were still lots of empty seats. I kept thinking, ‘Is this okay? What if it goes badly?’ But when I got home, the reaction just exploded. I was shocked!”

    Eunhyuk asked, “You must’ve gotten a lot of ads after that, right?” She replied with a smile, “Yes, I did a lot of ads after Waterbomb.” KCM chimed in and teased, “You even bought a building with all that money!”

    Eun Bi laughed and admitted, “I was already making money before, but after Waterbomb, the income ratio felt like 3 to 7. I got tons of commercial deals and events. And since I’m working alone now, I don’t need to share my income with group members, so that helped a lot.”

    Netizens are cheering her on, calling her a true queen of the solo era — with business smarts to match her talent!
