During the 60th Baeksang Arts Awards held on May 7th, BIBI, known for her work in music and acting under her real name Kim Hyung-seo, experienced a moment of unexpected joy when she was announced as the winner of Best New Actress in the Film category.
BIBI, who was nominated for her roles in “The Words of Evil,” displayed a mix of surprise and excitement as her name was called out. Her wide-eyed expression and trembling hands pointing at herself captured the hearts of attendees and viewers alike.
With the support of senior actor Song Joong-ki and director Kim Chang-hoon, BIBI made her way to the stage, admitting, “I didn’t know I would win an award, so I haven’t prepared anything to say.”
The genuine moment of BIBI’s surprise quickly became a topic of discussion on social media and online communities. Many netizens drew parallels between BIBI’s reaction and Ji Hyun-woo’s legendary meme from the 2021 KBS Drama Awards, where he similarly expressed disbelief upon winning a Daesang.
Following her success in music with the hit song “Bam Yang Gang,” BIBI’s recognition as actress Kim Hyung-seo was solidified with her Baeksang award. She is set to further showcase her talents in the upcoming SBS drama “The Fiery Priest 2,” where she will take on the role of detective Goo Ja-young.
BIBI’s unexpected and heartwarming win continues to resonate with fans, highlighting her journey and achievements in both the music and acting industries.
