BIBI has officially landed. Last night, the South Korean genre-bending superstar blasted off the North American leg of her 2025 1st WORLD TOUR [EVE] at The Auditorium Theatre in Chicago with the energy of a cosmic storm, and fans are still recovering from the aftershocks.
From the second she stepped onto the stage, BIBI made one thing crystal clear: this isn’t just a tour. This is a moment. A full-bodied, high-octane, story-rich performance that blends sultry intimacy with high-drama spectacle. And yes, it absolutely slapped.
Lights, Camera, Seduction: BIBI Unleashes Her Dual Personas
Backed by a roaring crowd and dazzling visuals, BIBI delivered a near-perfect setlist spanning her discography, with a special focus on her sophomore album EVE: ROMANCE. Fans screamed every lyric to bangers like “Kazino” and “쉬가릿 (She Got It),” but it was the deeper cuts like “BAD SAD AND MAD,” “Sugar Rush,” and the never-seen-before dance renditions of “Meat” and “Apocalypse” that had jaws on the floor.
Her performance of “Best Lover” turned the massive venue into something intimate, almost sacred. It was a soft, moody slow-burn where BIBI connected with her audience as if she were singing to each person one-on-one. She then shifted gears into “Hongdae R&B,” a Broadway-worthy scene of theatrical storytelling, complete with dramatic staging and expressive choreography. BIBI didn’t just sing. She became every lyric.
This Tour Is a Love Letter and a Grand Finale
The EVE tour is more than just BIBI’s first world tour. It’s the climax of her multi-project “Era of Love” series, a two-year epic told through sound, stage, and story. Fans who’ve followed her from Hongdae R&B, Bluebird, Bam Yang Gang, and DERRE know this is BIBI closing a creative chapter, and she’s doing it with fireworks.
The show weaves together her two alter egos, EVE and EVE-1, embodying both the lover and the sinner, the dream and the devastation. In true BIBI fashion, each song feels like a film. Every costume change tells a story. Every eye movement has intention.
And the encore? A euphoric, sweat-soaked mash-up of “PADO” and “Bumpa” that turned the auditorium into a dancefloor. Chicago got baptized in BIBI’s world and loved every second.

Who Is BIBI?
Now you know, if you didn’t already. Born Kim Hyoung-seo, BIBI is the genre-bending singer-songwriter of FeelGhoodMusic renown, renowned for her additively infectious blending of R&B, pop, hip-hop, and pure emotional bedlam.
She debuted in 2019 with the chillingly excellent single “BINU” and since then has dropped viral hits like “BIBI Vengeance,” “The Weekend,” and “Bam Yang Gang,” building a language-and-border-transcending cult following.
With her mesmerizing voice, unorthodox lyrics, and out-there style, BIBI is never shy. She is an artistic force to be named with, a rule-breaker, and a performance conqueror. With her genre-blending albums as well as her award-winning thespian performances, she’s writing her own playbook, and everyone is paying attention.
She Got It
Chicago might have been the first stop, but BIBI is clearly on a mission. If this explosive kickoff is any indication, the rest of the EVE world tour is going to be one for the books. It’s a fever dream of glitter, soul, heartbreak, and power.
To put it simply? Run. Don’t walk. Catch her while you can. BIBI isn’t just performing. She’s possessing the stage. And she’s never looked more alive.
