Months ago, GOT7's BamBam shared cryptic messages on his private Instagram account, sparking immediate concern about his mental well-being.
Soon after, he reassured fans on his public Instagram, explaining that the initial post stemmed from stress and emotional pressure, and that he would be okay.
Mental health struggles among idols, while not new, remain a sensitive and often taboo topic in the entertainment industry. However, more idols have begun to open up about these challenges in recent years, helping to shift the conversation toward a more empathetic approach to these important issues.
BamBam, like many idols, faces immense criticism and pressure in his career. Beyond the stage persona, BamBam—Kunpimook Bhuwakul—is also a son, brother, and friend, and it's important to remember that idols are humans too.
In a recent and more alarming post, BamBam shared on his Instagram story, "I'll be gone for good. 2025," which caused panic among fans and those close to him.
With his ongoing "AREA 52 World Tour" and the release of his latest album, BAMESIS, BamBam’s packed schedule has fueled further concerns.
His sudden return to his home country, Thailand, for some much-needed time with his family, has garnered a wave of support from fans, who are hoping he takes the time to heal and recover.
- He was doing the butterfly hug. Rest well, BamBam! Please take as much break as you need.
- Take a breath, BamBam. We will always wait for you, please take a rest
- I hope he gets all the healing that he needs. Please be mentally, emotionally, and physically well Bambam. I'll pray for you.
- What happened? Is there any incident causing him to be like this?
- Get all the rest that you need BamBam. Your mental health matters first BamBam! We will wait for you to come back stronger
- BamBam take all the rest you need...turn off all the noises around you and do what's best for you right now...when you know you're ready mentally then return
- Damn, where are his family and friends? The man screams that he needs help and begs for help why is no one saving him
- IT'S OKAY NOT TO BE OKAY BAMBAM SOMETIMES YOU JUST NEED TO TAKE A BREAK FROM EVERYTHING. TAKE AS MUCH REST. YOUR FANS WILL BE WAITING FOR YOU
- He's back home finally, I hope he can rest well with his family.
