In the video on the billboard, actor Heo Seong-tae appeared and raised the heat by performing a 'cocaine dance'. Psy opened the door to the 'drenched show' with 'That That'. The audience, dressed in blue and white, the dress code, cheered at the pouring water cannon.

Psy was thrilled with the 'drenched show' without a mask. He said, "If there is a big difference between last year and this year's 'Soaking Show', it is that there is no mask. Last year, I was moved and moved by the cheers that came out through the mask. Seeing all of you screaming without a mask, my heart tingles." revealed In addition, Psy induced responses by age group from young children to middle-aged people. He said, “The pride of ‘Drenched Show’ is that it is with teenagers to middle-aged people,” he said, “I hope you have the happiest day this year.”

Stages such as 'How Would It Be', 'Shake It', 'DADDY', and 'I LUV IT' were enough to excite the audience. The addictive lyrics, humorous choreography, and unrivaled visuals made the audience dance.

While Psy went off the stage for a while, the first guest appeared. It was singer Jessie. From 2019 to last year, Jessi worked for Psy's agency, P Nation. Rumors of a 'discord' circulated with Psy when the contract was not renewed after the expiration of the exclusive contract. However, Jesse appeared as a guest, proving that the discord was just a rumor. Jessie elicited a positive response from the audience, saying, "I love P.Nation. I love Psy and I like it here." Seeing the audience filled with both standing and reserved seats, Jessie exclaimed, "Psy oppa is amazing. Is Psy oppa this good?" Also, he shouted, "I've been a singer since I was 14 years old. This is my 18th year. I've been doing it for a long time. But I will not stop. Everyone, dream big too," eliciting cheers from the audience. Jesse passionately sang 'Some X', 'ZOOM', and 'Nun Sister'. When the request for an encore came out, "Psy oppa told me to do only 3 songs," he said with laughter. Jessie, who was going down the stage, and Psy, who was going up the stage, bumped into each other and hugged each other to show off their friendship.

Psy continued the stage again. The first song of the second part was 'Gentleman'. The audience sang in unison to relieve their stress. Psy also induced responses by age group, from young children to middle-aged people. He said, “The pride of ‘Drenched Show’ is that it is with teenagers to middle-aged people,” he said, “I hope you have the happiest day this year.” The singing of “Father,” “New Face,” “GANJI,” and “Bird” continued.

Psy, who stood on the 'Drenched Show' as a singer, suddenly had to perform the role of P Nation's representative during the performance. He aroused curiosity by saying, "I'm running a small company called P Nation, and I have an important contract right now." The staff brought a table with the P Nation logo onto the stage.

After a while, Hwasa made a surprise appearance as the second guest of 'Drenched Show'. Psy and Hwasa signed the contract on the table. Hwasa, whose exclusive contract with RBW recently expired, joined Psy's P-Nation. After singing 'Maria', Hwasa introduced herself as "Hwasa who joined P Nation a few minutes ago." He continued, "I signed a contract a few minutes ago. It's not a performance, I wrote the contract now. After reviewing the contract, it was finalized today. I was able to share meaningful memories with many people." On this day, Hwasa was rumored to be dating a businessman 12 years her senior, but she did not mention the dating rumor during the performance.

When Hwasa finished her performance, Psy welcomed the new member, saying, "Please give a big round of applause to P-Nation's Hwasa." Psy said, "It's unusual to do something like this. I think it's the first contract in the world to sign at a concert hall."

The sun had completely set, and it was a night when the moon rose clearly. However, the heat of the 'drenched show' became even hotter. Psy, who came out wearing a shiny costume, raised the atmosphere again with 'flap pants'. Psy's energetic stages such as 'Paradise', 'Gangnam Style' and 'Celebrity' made the audience go wild. Following the dance medley and rock medley, energy was also poured into the encore stage that was 'prepared' to 'Champion'. Still, an 'encore' erupted from the audience. Late into the night, Psy's 'Drenched Show' encore continued like that.
