GOT7’s BamBam Responds To Hate Comments Made By Event Staff
GOT7‘s BamBam recently responded to hate comments, causing an uproar among iGOT7s (Ahgases).
BamBam posted a cryptic tweet in Thai. In his post, he wondered publicly what “bad” thing he had done to warrant so much hate.
In the context of BamBam’s tweet, he recently performed at the 2023 countdown event in Pattaya, Thailand. He performed alongside other K-Pop artists, such as 2NE1‘s Dara (also known as Sandara Park) and Sunmi.

He made sacrifices so he would be able to perform at the countdown festival, which is a free concert for the public to attend. So, as always, he chose with the fans’ best interest in mind.
BamBam was offered another schedule and if he chose that one, he won’t be able to come to Thailand and attend Pattaya countdown festival. But he chose the free concert for us😭🫶🏻@BamBam1A #BamBam #뱀뱀

However, some netizens still found reasons to hate on him. Notably, a staff member of the event organizers posted on TikTok.
The person commented about BamBam, saying that although there were so many people due to his appearance, he would not be invited back. He claimed that BamBam was only invited in the first place due to nepotism (his brother, Bank, also known as Chindanai Bhuwakul, is a famous hip-hop dance choreographer).
if you’re not sure what happened with bam I’m here to explain:

BamBam brought in a huge crowd by performing in Pattaya. Many who attended were there for him, as evident by the green sea as Ahgases brought their lightsticks.

Ahgases (fans of GOT7, also known as iGOT7) responded to the negative comments made by the TikTok user. They pointed out the hypocrisy and tagged the event organizer Mono Entertain and BamBam’s brother.
What he said is “next year wont invite bambam cuz there’re many ppl” like what’s wrong with it? Didn’t your goal was to have many audiences? I dont care cuz BB is so busy, idc about your concert or your staff but you have no RIGHT to disrespect him @MonoEntertain

I genuinely don't understand how anyone could hate that boy. BamBam does nothing but try to entertain us, make us laugh, show he cares & thinks about us & loves us & his members 🥺 he doesn't deserve to be the butt of your jokes or your punching bag https://t.co/x40jA10juj

The OP (Original Poster) who made offensive comments about BamBam has since turned off commenting on his TikTok videos (not his Stories, though). He has since also shared a few posts to his Stories, apologizing for his past comments.
