"BAMBAM WHAT IS THIS BEHAVIOR"— Fans react as the GOT7 member confesses falling for a male contestant on Chuang Asia 2

GOT7's BamBam has gained attention online for his public admiration of a male contestant, Hu Yetao, on Chuang Asia 2. BamBam joined the panel of Chuang Asia 2 judges alongside Thai singer Jeff Satur, SEVENTEEN member THE8, Yaya Urassaya Sperbund, and more.

On February 9, the second episode of the Asian reality show aired on WeTV, showcasing a performance by Hu Yetao. Hu Yetao is a Chinese idol trainee known for his gender-neutral outfits, appearances, and visuals.

After the performance, BamBam complimented the trainee, using a popular pickup line on him:

“One thing I want to say is, Hu Yetao, you actually are ‘nothing" to me... because ‘nothing" lasts forever. This is the first time in my life I feel like (a) man is attractive.”

Furthermore, when Jeff Satur stated that Hu Yetao belonged on the stage, the GOT7 vocalist added:

“No, you belong with me.”

Following Hu Yetao's performance, BamBam went on stage to meet him and stated that he found him even more attractive up close. Additionally, when Jeff Satur mentioned Hu Yetao in his solo interview, BamBam appeared from behind, showing a big heart.

BamBam's sudden confession left the audience and the panel in laughter. Furthermore, fans shared their thoughts on this incident while many showed their interest in watching the show in the future. One netizen on X tweeted:

"Im so sorry but hao’s reaction took me OUT. Homie was holding back his comments so bad that the laugh was full of unsaid things. ALSO BAMBAM WHAT IS THIS BEHAVIOR."

"I’m dying i cannot believe hu yetaos special girlfriend powers worked on BAMBAM," a netizen mentioned.

"Jeff BAMboozled by bambam popping up at the mere mention of the name," a netizen commented.
