- Actor Lee Seo-jin revealed he was unfamiliar with singer Bibi's popular song 'Bam Yang Gang.'
- The confession occurred during an SBS entertainment program where Lee Seo-jin was acting as Bibi's temporary manager.
- Lee Seo-jin attributed his lack of knowledge to his preference for listening only to older pop music.
Actor Lee Seo-jin found himself in a humorous situation during a recent appearance on the SBS TV entertainment program 'What Would You Do, Ji-Seo-jin,' when he admitted to being completely unfamiliar with the hit song 'Bam Yang Gang' by popular singer Bibi.
I don't really know singers and songs. I only listen to pop.
The revelation came as Lee Seo-jin, alongside comedian Kim Gwang-gyu, was serving as Bibi's temporary manager ahead of her performance at the Waterbomb festival. Bibi, discussing her setlist, noted that 'Bam Yang Gang' was the only song suitable for broadcast among the seven she planned to perform.
Kim Gwang-gyu then pointed out Lee Seo-jin's lack of awareness, prompting a surprised reaction from Bibi. "You didn't know 'Bam Yang Gang'?" she asked, half-jokingly questioning if he ever listened to music. Lee Seo-jin explained his musical preferences, stating, "I don't really know singers and songs. I only listen to pop."
That's a bit unlucky...
Bibi playfully responded with "That's a bit unlucky..." which elicited laughter from those present. Lee Seo-jin further elaborated on his musical taste, clarifying that his exposure to pop music stopped during his student days. "I'm stuck in that era. I listen to old pop, not current pop," he explained, highlighting a generational gap in musical knowledge that led to the amusing exchange.
When I was a student, only pop music was playing. I'm stuck in that era. I listen to old pop, not current pop.
