Girls' Generation's Yuri Calls Herself BIBI's "Total Fan" on Sixth Sense: B-Side, Praising Her Swearing

Yuri of Girls' Generation stressed more than once that she is a "total fan" of singer BIBI, and then added that she had found BIBI's swearing "so cool." The unexpected confession set the studio laughing.

From featuring credit to fan confession

Yuri and fellow Girls' Generation member HYOYEON appeared in episode 5 of the tvN variety show Sixth Sense: B-Side, which aired on the 18th. BIBI greeted the two warmly and shared her history with them and her admiration for them. She said she had worked with HYOYEON: "I worked with HYOYEON sunbae. It was a featuring." HYOYEON said BIBI not only featured on her song but also helped with the lyrics. "BIBI did the featuring and wrote lyrics too, so the song shone even more," she said, looking back on a connection formed through music.

"Put in the footage"

BIBI, mentioning the Girls' Generation members' activities, said it was "so cool" when, on YouTube, they told a music-show PD to watch his language. She said she was drawn to the fearless attitude they showed in comedy sketches. Yuri then opened up about her own fandom, as if she had been waiting for the cue. "I've seen BIBI swear a lot, too. She was so cool then," Yuri said, drawing laughter from the cast.

Hong Hyun-hee asked the production team to "put in some footage." BIBI responded by covering her mouth with a finger, in a gesture that seemed to ask for discretion. It was a witty comeback to talk about her unfiltered words and behavior, and the studio grew even more cheerful at a reaction typical of BIBI, who has drawn attention for her candid charm.

Similar vibes

Yuri did not hide her affection for BIBI. HYOYEON saw a resemblance between the two. "I feel like Yuri and BIBI have a similar vibe. Free-spirited," she said, pointing to what they have in common.

The conversation began as a meeting between senior and junior artists and was lightened by frank compliments and surprise fan confessions. With Yuri saying she found BIBI's fearless side cool, the pair's free-spirited charm and playful chemistry drew viewers' attention.
