GOT7‘s BamBam has been increasingly concerning fans as he shares cryptic messages.
In July, BamBam posted an ominous update via Instagram. He revealed that he was unduly fatigued.
I just want to sleep and don’t wake up so I can finally rest.

He attempted to reassure fans with a follow-up post. Still, many Ahgases (also known as iGOT7, GOT7 fans) were extremely worried about BamBam after.
Is been a long run from last year till now and still long way to go.
It was a lot of pressure and stress and since my body not really feel so well for a long time now.
Sometimes I’m getting sensitive and emotional.
I’ll do my best on this year and will find my time to rest.
I’ll be okay.
Sorry if I caused any worry.
Have a good day.
— BamBam
The concerns didn’t end there either. BamBam has recently been on his 2024 [BAMESIS] SHOWCASE TOUR. During his Manila concert last month, BamBam gave a speech to Ahgases that left them heartbroken. He confessed that he has been increasingly unhappy these days.
I feel like the more you grow up, the happy days … keep getting less … I’m gonna say I feel unhappy more than I feel happy these days … I just wanna be honest because you guys are the only people that I can talk to. You guys are the only people that I can lean to. So, that’s why I really wanted to express my feelings to you.
— BamBam
Still, BamBam asked Ahgases to be happy even when he could not be. He recognized that he has had a lot on his mind, and Ahgases help cheer him up.
If this world (is) not gonna allow me to be so happy, at least I want to give my energy to you guys so y’all can be happy more. So, Ahgase, please, at least for me, please be happy for me, all right? And then someday … maybe when I need that energy, please, y’all can cheer me up and be there for me, so thank you. Not gonna cry, not gonna cry. …I have a lot of things going on in my mind right now, but then every time, the only place that I feel free and I feel like happy these days is meeting you guys on stage … so the stage is like a playground for me right now. When I’m by myself, I kinda think a lot, so I appreciate you guys come out here and have a good time for me.

At the time, Ahgases believe BamBam would soon go on hiatus. Yet, his latest posts have Ahgases more concerned. On September 29, he shared an Instagram story saying he would be “gone for good” in 2025.
BamBam also posted on X, saying, “I hope you had good night.” Ah Ahgase commented on the post, expressing their concern, to which he replied, “People around me is the reason i’m dying.”

Lately, BamBam shared Justin Bieber‘s “Changes” via his X and Instagram Stories on his way back home to Thailand.
“I just wanna be the best of me even though sometimes I forget to breathe, so that I can be the best for you, that’s all I wanna do”
Oh Bammie. I hope you know that you being the best for us means you being happy with yourself, with a healthy, peaceful state of mind & wellbeing. https://t.co/1HhFsh4GDE

Ahgases are hoping BamBam will get the rest and help he needs, as his recent posts are concerning everyone, including non-fans.

Not EXO related but calling EXOLs to go leave happy and warm comments for Bambam on X and Instagram.

bambam shouldn’t be afraid of changing of company or friends and atp he truly needs professional help, he shouldn’t be suffering like this

Some of BamBam’s friends in the industry have also shared messages of support. Fly to the Sky‘s Brian Joo, a fellow variety idol, variety TV star, and self-proclaimed “cleaning freak,” shared an Instagram Story with BamBam, expressing best wishes for the younger idol.
Soloist Jessi, who previously guested on BamBam’s online interview series Bam House, reached out to him publicly via Instagram. She was among the many Ahgases who left messages of support on his last Instagram post. She commented, “We love you bambam,” with three heart emojis.

Ahgases were relieved to see some of BamBam’s friends reaching out to him.

Now that BamBam has returned to Thailand, Ahgases are more hopeful that he is surrounded by those who care about him the most, his family.
