Bibi on her own terms as a multifaceted creative force

It is early morning in Korea, but you wouldn’t know from the exuberant “hi” from Bibi. She radiates energy, and seems enthused about the interview. To call her a K-Pop star is pejorative because she is more than a young woman placed on a pop-culture pedestal, instead she is an artist with a creative focus that is constantly innovating.

Bibi may be best known for her ability to rap in English and Korean, but over the years, she has proven to be a strong vocal artist with the uncanny power to entrance the audience. Her ability to draw a crowd is because of her dedication to visuals and storytelling. She is a huge fan of movies, regardless of language, genre, and era. She is a student of film, and her latest album is a foray into this world. During our discussion, we learned that the album and music videos are intertwined and were the brainchild of Bibi; not some record executive with an agenda to push.
