Kim Hyung-seo (Korean김형서, born September 27, 1998),[2] better known by the stage name Bibi (Korean비비; stylised in all caps), is a South Korean singer-songwriter. In 2017, she signed with Feel Ghood Music after Yoon Mi-rae discovered her self-produced songs on SoundCloud.[3]

She appeared as a contestant in SBS competition show The Fan, where she eventually finished in second place.[4] She made her official debut with the single "Binu" on May 15, 2019.[5]


Stage name

edit

Bibi was also known as "Nakedbibi" on SoundCloud. The name's meaning came from "baby" sounding like "bibi" when pronounced quickly, and that newborn babies don't wear any clothes and have a natural appearance that isn't affected by anything.[6] Her current stage name is said to be one that defines her want to show her honest self.[7]

Music style

edit

Bibi pursues freewheeling and out-of-the-box music. Her music features various genres, including R&B, soul, hip hop, and ballad. Rather than focusing on dealing with beautiful things beautifully, it is a style of music that focuses on beautifully sublimating beautiful sorrows and pains that are alienated and hidden from the world.[8]


Appearance

edit

Bibi is known for her two red dots under her eyes that was variously described as moles or dots. The dots are her makeup style that were inspired from her grandpa's roseola that was caused by his fevers, which he died from, and a tribute to her grandpa who was a role model to her.[9]
