BIBI Once Went Behind Her Company’s Back To Help Out A Middle School Fan With Their Homework

A fan belatedly shared a touching story about BIBI. The story soon went viral on X with over 4 million views.

According to the fan, they had been in middle school when they were given homework about interviewing their role model. They have been fans of BIBI since then and had boldly DMed BIBI, asking her to help out. Little did they know that BIBI would reply.

Early in the semester, we had to interview a role model for our graded work and I didn’t want to do something normal. I thought to myself, let’s interview BIBI, whom I was a fan of. I made that bold decision and sent BIBI unnie a DM. Although she doesn’t read DMs often now, back then, she often communicated with fans through it. I thought she wouldn’t read it as she’s a celebrity, so I kind of sent it half-jokingly, half-sincerely, but she read it! And she agreed. That’s how I came to meet my bias.

The fan went to meet BIBI at a cafe in Uijeongbu. BIBI came in looking a little dishevelled due to having stayed up to work on a song all night. She studiously participated in the interview and even gave the fan some advice. This happened in 2019.

I can tell the tale now. Let me submit a story of praise about BIBI unnie. It was from 2019, when I was in middle school. I met BIBI unine through an interview about someone we respected. To be honest, it was an interview even her CEO did not know about. I’m sorry, Tiger JK CEO. I’m telling everyone now. She said that originally she shouldn’t, but she came to see me secretly.

The fan also gifted BIBI with a gift, leading the two to exchange brief DMs.

• BIBI: “You’re truly a genius at giving gifts! Such a present that makes me happy…”
• Fan: “Sobs, unnie, thanks for taking the gift. The interview today was great. Thank you so much.”

What a heartwarming tale!
