Taiwanese creative girl group "BOOM!" experienced a series of weather-related setbacks during their recent outdoor "BOOM! Music Festival" at Songshan Cultural and Creative Park. Heavy rain repeatedly forced postponements of the event's start times.

Thank you for coming. This place is like a water world, thank you for your hard work. Please be careful.

— Wei Jia-yingDuring a rain delay, Wei Jia-ying addressed fans, acknowledging the difficult conditions.

During one such delay, group member "Xiao V" (Yu Cai-zhen) sang "The Sun and the Earth," a song originally performed by Golden Melody Award winner Crowd Lu, as a plea for clear skies. Miraculously, the rain began to subside shortly after, and by the time the performance was set to begin, the downpour had ceased, giving way to sunshine.

The group, comprised of Lin Yi, Wei Jia-ying, Wen Ni, and Xiao V, performed several new songs from their album "BOOM! Cinema." Wei Jia-ying explained that each song on the album represents a film or different aspect of life, likening it to their song "Looking Towards the Warm Sun," which encourages moving towards the light.

This creative album is named 'BOOM! Cinema,' and each song represents a film or different aspects of life, just like this song says, no matter what, you have to walk towards the sunny side.

In a few more days it will be my 5th debut anniversary. I will have a live broadcast next Monday to announce good news.
