Latest Updates About GOT7 Member BamBam
Braving his way to South Korea, Kunpimook Bhuwakul, popularly known as BamBam, made his debut in 2014 as a member of the South Korean boy group formed by JYP Entertainment, GOT7. In 2021, he made his solo debut with the mini album riBBon, followed by the release of his first studio album, Sour & Sweet, released last year.
BamBam then kicked off his first solo world tour, AREA 52, in Asia last year, with shows in Seoul, Manila, Macau, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Osaka, and Yokohama. He is scheduled to perform in the U.S. this month, but the shows from February 10 to 24 were inevitably canceled due to the worsening of his ankle injury. “I’m sorry for letting you down. All I want is to bring a new special gift to surprise everyone with my new song. I should’ve cared about my health more. And I know how you guys support ‘AREA52’ in every way. I’m sorry, Bammies.”
In 2021, despite not renewing their contract with JYP Entertainment, GOT7 assured their fans that they were not disbanding. They’ve signed with Warner Music Korea and are gearing up to celebrate their 10th anniversary this year.
Despite the many challenges that came along the way, BamBam’s unique style and musical talent have won him a dedicated following, solidifying his role as the new face of Louis Vuitton. His standout presence at the brand’s Fall/Winter 2024 show in Paris earned him widespread acclaim, with the #BamBamXLVFW24 hashtag reaching over 2.1 million social media posts. In the words of the French fashion house: “Louis Vuitton is delighted to begin an exciting collaborative journey ahead with BamBam.”
