# Bibi (singer)

Kim Hyeong-seo (Korean: 김형서, born September 27, 1998), known professionally as Bibi (Korean: 비비), is a South Korean singer, rapper, songwriter, and actress. In 2018, she appeared on the SBS program The Fan and was the runner-up of the show. In 2022, she released her first studio album Lowlife Princess: Noir. As an actress, Bibi is well-known for her lead roles in the film Hopeless (2023) and television series such as The Worst of Evil (2023).

## Early life

Kim Hyeong-seo was born in Ulsan and spent her teenage years in Changwon. She felt awkward talking to people, so she began to write lyrics about not being able to say what she wanted to say when she was 15.
Bibi has a younger sister, Kim Na-kyoung, who debuted with the girl group TripleS through one of its sub-units Acid Angel from Asia on October 28, 2022.

## Career

In 2017, Bibi signed with Feel Ghood Music after Yoon Mi-rae discovered her self-produced songs on SoundCloud. In 2018, Bibi appeared as a contestant in SBS competition show The Fan, where she eventually finished in second place. She made her official debut with the single "Binu" on May 15, 2019.
In April 2021, Bibi released her second extended play Life is a Bi.... In October, she released a collaboration single "The Weekend" with 88rising. It later peaked at 29 on the Mediabase Top 40 chart, making Bibi the first Korean female soloist to do so. In December, she signed a global promotion deal with 88rising. On November 18, 2022, she released her first studio album Lowlife Princess: Noir.
On February 13, 2024, Bibi released a single titled "Bam Yang Gang". It peaked at number 1 on the Circle Digital Chart, making it her first song ever to do so. Following the single's release and instant success due to a viral singing challenge of users singing the song while eating bamyanggaeng (chestnut jelly) boosted by popular singers like Lee Hyori, sales of it also increased by 40% in South Korea.
On March 13, 2025, Feel Ghood Music announced that Bibi would be embarking on her first world tour, Eve, kicking off in Seoul from May 16 to 18 at the Olympic Hall.
