ITZY’s Ryujin goes viral for her unexpected Waterbomb Festival outfit
Ryujin shocked fans with a modest, athletic look instead of the usual revealing stage outfits at the 2025 Waterbomb Festival in Seoul. Known for flashy performances and skimpy clothes due to the water cannon theme, Ryujin stood out by wearing a long-sleeve white rash guard by BARREL and distressed denim shorts.
Her outfit choice is gaining huge praise online, especially on X (formerly Twitter). Fans applaud her for enjoying the festival and performing without wearing overly revealing clothes.
One fan wrote:

Honestly, you can enjoy the music and get splashed without needing to wear super revealing clothes.
Ryujin’s look even reminded some of Rumi from KPop Demon Hunters.
She kinda reminds me of Rumi from KPop Demon Hunters.
