BIBI is officially done pretending. The singer-actress confessed on the October 10 episode of Yoo Jae-suk’s YouTube show Pinggyego that she “lost control” of her diet and gained weight after her Waterbomb performances — and she wasn’t even a little sorry about it.
According to Sports Kyunghyang, the episode — uploaded to the DdeunDdeun channel — caught BIBI mid-pizza mukbang. Watching her devour a slice, Yoo Jae-suk teased, “Hyungseo’s appetite has exploded lately,” using her real name Kim Hyung-seo.
BIBI fired right back: “I can’t control myself. Everyone, don’t diet — your appetite will just explode,” she joked, powering through the pizza. Go Kyung-pyo added that she had greeted him that morning lamenting how much weight she’d gained. Her comeback to Yoo Jae-suk’s reassurance — “My personality got much better too” — sent the whole set laughing.
Talk turned to the tvN variety show Sixth Sense: B-Side, which started filming during Waterbomb season. Yoo Jae-suk revealed BIBI had been “really sensitive” during the first ten episodes. She denied it at first, but eventually admitted it: “I was nervous back then. Now I’m comfortable with the seniors, and I’m eating well like this, so I’ve become much more relaxed.”
With year-end award shows on the horizon, she stopped at one slice, declaring, “I really need to get back into dieting now.” Asked about next year’s Waterbomb, she laughed it off: “Next year is next year’s business.” Her parting wisdom: when your face looks round and radiant, your body is in its off-season — and vice versa.
