BIBI Releases Belated Apology Over University Festival Remark: ‘I Will Be More Careful in the Future'

Last April, the stage at Namseoul University's festival was set ablaze as popular artist BIBI took the spotlight, delivering a performance that stirred both excitement and controversy.

The South Korean singer showcased her hit songs, including "BIBI Vengeance" and "Bam Yang Gang," captivating the audience with her electrifying presence.

However, it was her interaction with the crowd that sparked a heated debate online.

In a moment of spontaneity, BIBI posed provocative questions to the audience.

"Are you having fun at school? Who hates school? Who thinks school is X? If I act like a bad X, you should say 'crazy X'." - BIBI

She then urged the audience to participate by responding with a phrase akin to "crazy X" if she acted out being a "bad X."

Following the event, a video clip of BIBI's performance made rounds on social media, igniting a polarizing discussion among netizens.

Some condemned her choice of language, labeling it as "crossing the line" and "disrespectful" towards the institution of education.

Others, however, came to her defense, arguing that her remarks were within the realm of artistic expression and aligned with the thematic elements of her songs.

Initially silent amidst the brewing controversy, BIBI broke her silence on June 8th, issuing a public apology via social media.

In her statement, she acknowledged her propensity for making edgy remarks to energize the crowd before performing "BIBI Vengeance."

However, she conceded that she may have crossed a boundary in her excitement during the Namseoul University event.

"I always make roguish remarks to hype up the atmosphere before singing 'BIBI Vengeance', but I think I got too excited this time and it came out wrong. I am sorry. I will be more careful in the future. Please look at me kindly. I am always grateful."

Despite the backlash, BIBI continues to be celebrated for her distinctive musical style and unique voice.

Her recent track, "Bam Yang Gang," has garnered widespread acclaim, further solidifying her position as a rising star in the South Korean music scene.

As the debate rages on, BIBI's performance at Namseoul University's festival serves as a reminder of the complexities surrounding artistic expression and the delicate balance between pushing boundaries and respecting societal norms.
