K-pop singer Bibi to hold first concert in Singapore in August
SINGAPORE - Come August, South Korean rapper-singer-actress Bibi will be holding her first solo concert in Singapore.
The 26-year-old, whose real name is Kim Hyeong-seo, will play at The Star Theatre on Aug 23 as part of her first world tour titled Eve. She previously performed in here in August 2024 as part of the K-pop music festival Waterbomb Singapore held at Siloso Beach in Sentosa.
Tickets to her solo concert range from $148 to $308 and go on general sale on May 21 at 10am via Ticketmaster.
There will be three rounds of pre-sales via Ticketmaster prior to general sales opening.
Members of Bibi's Weverse – a South Korean-based international platform for fans – will be able to access a pre-sale on May 19 from 10am to 2pm, though sign-ups for the membership pre-sale closed on May 11.
Mastercard cardholders will also enjoy a priority sale from May 19, 4pm to May 20, 10am, while Live Nation members' pre-sale runs from noon to midnight on May 20.
VIP tickets range from $268 to $308 and ticket holders will enjoy benefits such as entry to a soundcheck party held hours prior to the actual show, and will receive a postcard with a message from Bibi.
Bibi made her official debut with the single Binu in 2019, after appearing in the South Korean competition show The Fan (2018 to 2019), where celebrities introduce prospective stars they talent spotted and pit them against each other. Bibi was introduced by South Korean singer Yoon Mi-rae.
Since then, she has released hit songs like Bibi Vengeance (2022) and Bam Yang Gang (2024). The latter means 'chestnut jelly' in Korean and sparked a viral dance challenge in its home country.
She has also been nicknamed of 'dark IU', a reference to fellow South Korean soloist IU. Both debuted as solo female singers and have acting credits to their name – Bibi starred in series like The Worst Of Evil (2023) and season two of The Fiery Priest (2024), while IU played major roles in highly acclaimed works like film Broker (2022) and TV series When Life Gives You Tangerines (2025).
But where IU's discography is bright, vibrant, sweet and hopeful, Bibi's skews darker, edgier and more provocative in her music, with one track titled Cigarette And Condom (2020).
In the music video for Bibi Vengeance, she is shown kidnapping, torturing then burying a man alive. In the music video for another song titled Animal Farm (2022), she is seen decapitating a man in slow motion.
