Trivia
- Despite her stage name being BIBI, it is the shortened version of her full stage name 'nakedbibi' (later stylized as 'Naked BIBI', which refers to the innocence and pureness of a naked baby.[2] Much later, she associated the hanja 飛 with bi (비) to give her stage name a deeper meaning; the hanja itself means "to fly", hence in full it is 飛飛. Thus in Chinese, she is occasionally referred to as Fēifēi (飛飛).
- She draws two trademark moles under her right eye to remind herself to be calm because she can be excessively hyped and upbeat on stage which can lead to mistakes.[2]
- She was scouted by Yoonmirae who wanted to her to join Feel GHood Music as a topline songwriter but after they met, she was signed as an artist.[2]
- She is "free-spirited" when it comes to dating and relationships.[2]
- She has a father-daughter-like relationship with Tiger JK.[2]
- Her hobby is songwriting.[2]
- She draws inspiration for her music from personal experience.[20]
