Chuang Asia: Season 2 contestant Hu Yetao created a buzz with his interaction with the show's judge, GOT7’s BamBam. In episode 3, which aired on February 15, 2025, on WeTV, before Hu Yetao’s trainee group began their introductions, he introduced himself as a 'princess' and playfully asked who wanted to be his 'prince.'
The rest of the trainees eagerly responded by raising their hands, but BamBam stole the spotlight by raising his hand and a foot, making Yetao laugh. Yetao then chose BamBam, leading to a misunderstanding among the trainees. When fellow contestant and trainee WhyLucas excitedly asked, "Oh, me?" Yetao clarified:
"I choose you, Bambam, not you (WhyLucas)."
The exchange quickly gained traction online. Many joked that Chuang Asia: Season 2 was turning into a dating reality show, comparing the scene to Singles Inferno. One viewer commented on X:

BamBam's flirty admiration for Hu Yetao on Chuang Asia: Season 2 sparks attention
This isn't the first time BamBam and Hu Yetao have displayed their fondness for each other. Previously, GOT7’s BamBam made waves online for openly expressing admiration for Chuang Asia 2 contestant Hu Yetao.
Episode 2 of Chuang Asia: Season 2, which aired on February 9 via WeTV, featured a standout performance by the Chinese idol trainee recognized for his androgynous style and striking visuals. After watching the performance, BamBam praised Hu Yetao and playfully flirted with him using a famous pickup line:
"Hu Yetao, to me, you’re ‘nothing’... because ‘nothing’ lasts forever." He then added, "This is the first time in my life I’ve found a man attractive."
When Jeff Satur remarked that Hu Yetao belonged on the stage and nowhere else, BamBam quickly interjected saying:
"No, you belong with me."
Later, when Jeff Satur brought up Hu Yetao in a solo interview, BamBam made a surprise appearance from behind, flashing finger hearts and calling Yetao's name.
Beyond words, BamBam has also shown his support in other ways. Hu Yetao was recently spotted wearing a jacket with a handwritten note from Bambam that read:
"My boy Hu Yetao, you will win."
