On Friday, December 20, GOT's BamBam released a post on X that seemingly responded to a netizen's accusation of the idol getting lip fillers. On December 19, GOT7 shared a teaser image for their upcoming comeback scheduled for January 20, 2025. One of the retweets of the teaser included a comment about the idol's looks.
The post allegedly stated that the idol had undergone plastic surgery and received lip fillers. It read:
"It’s sad that BamBam’s visuals have downgraded over time, maybe because of his addiction to lip fillers and extensive use of contacts. Youngjae is now more handsome than him."
Soon after, several fans defended the idol, stating that he has had naturally fuller lips since birth. Regardless, the particular retweet went viral and likely reached GOT7's BamBam. While he didn't directly mention the retweet, he made a post on X seemingly addressing his lip filler allegations.
"*Please allow me to use inappropriate language.* When the heck did I even have time to do anything to my face?"
Following the idol's response, many fans and netizens expressed their happiness at seeing him stand up for himself and call out the groundless accusations. One netizen on X tweeted:
"Bam bam really said he has no time to do any plastic surgeries. He’s booked and busy and naturally pretty. King."
