MANILA — A long-time K-Pop fan had her own moment in the spotlight while at the Waterbomb Manila 2025, after a video of her shampooing her hair during the festival went viral on social media.Marj shared that she purposely brought shampoo and conditioner sachets to the music festival &quot;just to take a picture with them.&quot;She, however, did not plan the act itself of washing her hair.&quot;There were DJs who had a long set. The waterbomb times were in increased and intensified frequency, so I felt like it was the perfect time to experiment,&quot; Marj told ABS-CBN News in a text message.<div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/events/2025/2/26/waterbomb-s-manila-debut-brings-unique-fan-interaction-with-korean-artists-1217">Waterbomb&#x27;s Manila debut brings &#x27;unique interaction&#x27; with Korean artists</a></div>&quot;When my hair started to really lather up, I was slightly worried it wouldn&#x27;t wash off properly. At some point, I wanted to accept that I might go home with improperly washed hair,&quot; she added.She was then able to rinse the shampoo off properly after a few more instances of artists performing with the water guns and the water blasts from the stage itself.Asked on whether she would do it again, Marj said that &quot;it depends.&quot;&quot;For tradition&#x27;s sake. If Minhyuk from BTOB (Born To Beat) is in Waterbomb Manila 2026, I will surely do it again. No second thoughts. I will also use conditioner and soap,&quot; she said.Marj said she attended the 2-day festival to support female artists in the lineup, including soloists Jessi and Kwon Eunbi, and girl groups Stayc, Oh My Girl, and Viviz.The video of Marj shampooing her hair was uploaded by TikTok user Grace (@wyviiiv) which racked up 1.2 million views as of writing.Meanwhile, Marj&#x27;s TikTok post (@marjtoday) where she only initially planned to take a video with the hygiene products has gotten nearly 600,000 views as of writing.The posts were also met with a positive feedback from netizens, wherein several others played along with Marj&#x27;s gimmick.&quot;At this point, nakakahiya na maging Pinoy. Just imagine, kung ikaw &#x27;yung idol sa stage, syempre maiinis ka kasi wala man lang nag-abot ng conditioner or sabon eh kitang may naliligo,&quot; a social media user joked.&quot;Sige noted, &#x27;pag may Waterbomb ulit dito, yes to hygiene tayo,&quot; another netizen said.The Waterbomb Manila 2025 took place on February 22 and 23 at the Quirino Grandstand.

Marj, a 28-year-old fan, shared that she purposely brought shampoo and conditioner sachets to the music festival "just to take a picture with them."
