GOT7’s BamBam Steps Down As Host Of Popular Show, Announces Successor
In January last year, GOT7 BamBam‘s YouTube variety show Bam’s House premiered. The show was set in BamBam’s home, and he would invite celebrity guests, prepare snacks, and interview them.
The show was successful, as many celebrities guested. NCT‘s Ten, SHINee‘s Key, Girls’ Generation‘s Taeyeon, Mark Tuan, and Red Velvet‘s Wendy and Seulgi are just a few notable examples. The last episode was four months ago with TWICE‘s Nayeon.
Now, Bam’s House is coming to an end.
In a newly uploaded video, BamBam announced that he will be stepping down as host of the online series. He explained that he’s been busy with his overseas tour and is currently focusing on his main career as a music artist, so he is unable to continue the show at this time.
I’m on my overseas tour right now. I’m really putting effort into my main job lately. So for Bamboos that is waiting for Bam House it took me so long to say hello. …Although it’s sad, I want to focus more on my main career, music. I’ve decided to step down from Bam House. So many of you have been waiting and sharing this news already makes my heart ache and fills me with sadness. Thank you so much for all the love and support.

Yet, he has found a successor, and they are also Thai!
This might surprise you. Now you’ll have a new host. Instead of me doing it I’ll be passing the job on to someone else.
— BamBam
It’s none other than KISS OF LIFE‘s Natty.
She is… so successful as another ‘Korean Thai’ and working so hard. It’s Natty. I’m passing my role on to her.
— BamBam
BamBam also shared words of support to Natty. He has been cheering for her from afar.
I haven’t seen you since you were a trainee, but I’ve been watching you do so well. It made me happy to see you succeeding. Now it’s no longer Bam House.
— BamBam
While we will miss Bam’s House, we know Natty will do an excellent job!

idols wanted & requested to be on bamhouse, knetz liked the show bc of how soft spoken and carefree bambam is. we lost a good ass show where bam made idols feel comfortable to open up about various topics they brought up themselves. but Im glad bb is putting himself first.
