Ahgases’ concerns were sparked in July when BamBam posted an alarming Instagram post about not wanting to wake up.

I just want to sleep and don’t wake up so I can finally rest.

Shortly after, BamBam attempted to reassure Ahgases with a follow-up post. Still, many were alarmed.

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 has been on his 2024 [BAMESIS] SHOWCASE TOUR this year. During his Manila concert, he gave a heartbreaking speech and confessed to concert-goers that he’d been unhappy.

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.

Still, BamBam asked Ahgases to be happy even when he could not be. He admitted that his fans 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.

Later that month, BamBam shared another update via X (formerly Twitter). He apologized for his recent negative attitude and said at the time that he would take a break to return to his “positive” self.

the past 2weeks i want to say sorry for being so negative and sensitive

i will take sometimes off for myself and will comeback as a positive bambam again

hope everyone reading this post always be happy and surrounded with love

take care

— BamBam

Yet, BamBam continued to post more concerning posts. 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.” 

A couple of days later, he shared Justin Bieber‘s “Changes” via his X and Instagram Stories on his way home to Thailand.

Everyone, from Ahgases to non-fans to celebrity friends, was concerned for BamBam, hoping he would get the rest and help he needed.

Fellow GOT7 member Jackson Wang also reached out to BamBam publicly via X. He called out the industry and reminded BamBam that his fans support him for who he is, not whoever he is surrounded by. Jackson can certainly empathize this.

A few days later, on October 4, BamBam performed his Bamesis Showcase in Chiang Mai. During his ending speech, he thanked Ahgases and Jackson for their encouragement.

Now, leader Jay B also shared an update regarding BamBam.

Jay B was discharged from his mandatory service duties on November 1, KST. Recently, he held a live broadcast via Instagram to connect with Ahgases post-discharge.

Jay B revealed he reached out to BamBam as soon as he saw the alarming posts. When BamBam tried to assure Jay B he was okay, Jay B, like the concerned leader he is, continued to inquire what was going on. Despite his busy schedule at the time, he told BamBam to contact him whenever he needed to.

Did I talk to BamBam when I saw his posts? Yes, right away. I was worried… It immediately worried me, so I called him right away, but he said he was fine. So, I then asked him why he posted something like that, and he said that he wasn’t in his best condition then. And I told him to contact me whenever if he needed.

Ahgases never doubted the GOT7 members, but hearing from Jay B is reassuring. Their bond is unbreakable.
