TWICE's Nayeon Shocks GOT7’s BamBam With Just How Many People Knew Of His Crush On Her

TWICE‘s Nayeon was the newest guest on a special episode of Bam House, the YouTube show hosted by GOT7‘s BamBam. The friendship between the two goes back over a decade, with them being friends when they were trainees at JYP Entertainment starting 2010.

At one point, they brought up the fact that BamBam had a very public crush on Nayeon when they were trainees. It was the kind of lighthearted thing that “everyone knew about.”

If you like someone at school or somewhere, you usually like them secretly, right? But that wasn’t the feeling with me. That BamBam liked me was kind of a funny thing for everyone. Everyone knew about it. When I went into the vocal room, everyone nudged [him]. Those actions were kind of like our entertainment back then.

BamBam, however, did not realize just how many people were aware of his crush. He thought only the male trainees were in on his secret.

Nayeon broke his bubble and told him that even the employees knew.

Nayeon: Liking or dating someone was forbidden for trainees. But yours was totally public. Even all the company employees knew!

BamBam: Really?!

Nayeon: You didn’t know?

BamBam: No! I didn’t know.

He began thinking back on who could have told everyone. He remembered mentioning it to either Jackson or Mark, two other foreign members of GOT7.

But I’m sure I told someone very seriously, ‘I think.. I like Nayeon.’ Like this. I’m sure I said this to the foreigners at the dorms. It had to be Jackson or Mark. I’m sure of it!

He added that it could have also been BTOB‘s Peniel. He realized belatedly that the latter was the tattletale who broadcasted his crush on Nayeon to seemingly everyone in the company.

If not, I think it was [Peniel hyung]. I think it was Peniel hyung. He thought I was adorable and just told everyone. I didn’t know though. So everyone was amused by it.
