On June 30, 2025, BIBI made a significant mark as a global artist by performing live on NBC's 'TODAY Show' during the renowned 'Citi Concert Series.' This appearance is particularly notable as she is the first Korean female solo artist to grace this prestigious platform, which has previously featured international stars like Adele, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, BTS, and Dua Lipa. The 'Citi Concert Series' is not just a music show; it symbolizes the evolution of American pop music, making BIBI's performance a moment of great significance.

Introduced as a 'global superstar,' BIBI captivated the audience with a live rendition of 'Apocalypse,' the title track from her second studio album 'EVE: ROMANCE.' Her unique artistic flair resonated with the crowd, generating an enthusiastic response. Following the broadcast, the performance video was quickly shared on NBC's official YouTube and social media channels, rapidly gaining traction among her global fanbase.

This performance is part of BIBI's debut world tour, '2025 BIBI 1st World Tour [EVE],' which has already seen her perform in 11 major North American cities, including Chicago, Toronto, Boston, New York, Washington, Atlanta, Austin, and Los Angeles throughout June. Starting in August, she will shift her focus to Asia, kicking off with Hong Kong as she continues her tour across 23 cities.

International media reactions have been overwhelmingly positive, with outlets like Forbes and Euphoria praising her performance as an emotional journey that transcended explanation. They highlighted her ability to navigate various personas on stage, showcasing raw charisma and authenticity.

Previously, BIBI made history as the first Korean female solo artist to perform at the Coachella music festival, further solidifying her influence on the global stage. With her debut world tour, BIBI is poised to expand her presence as a global artist even further.
