GOT7's BamBam gets candid about his mental health struggles at his solo concert tour, BAMESIS

BamBam's recent solo concert tour BAMESIS has been making headlines, for the past few months. During this concert, BamBam shared his ongoing struggles with mental health, a topic that first surfaced publicly in July 2024 when he posted a concerning message on Instagram:

“I just want to sleep and don’t wake up so I can finally rest.”

This alarming message worried fans, prompting them to express their concerns and ask if everything was okay. He later reassured them that he was fine, admitting that the pressure had been affecting him and making him more sensitive. He also promised to take better care of himself and strive for balance.

In his Chiang Mai showcase concert, BamBam took the opportunity to openly address his mental health struggles with fans. During a heartfelt moment, he took the stage to express his gratitude for all the love and support he's received.

He started by acknowledging how much the encouragement from his fans, Ahgase, has meant to him over the past week.

He explained that the messages and words of support didn’t just lift his spirits but they actively helped heal his mental health. It was a deeply vulnerable moment for BamBam, who shared that he read each message, feeling comforted by the outpouring of love from both his fandom and others who reached out in solidarity.

BamBam went on to share how he never expected such overwhelming support from multiple fan groups, not just his own. He sincerely thanked them and made a special request,

"For those who can translate, please help me translate this message, because I want to thank them verbally, not just with a few words on social media."

He wanted his appreciation to be more personal, heartfelt, and genuine.

In addressing his mental health, the star was honest about the rollercoaster of emotions he's been going through. While he admitted that he's still having his ups and downs, he’s noticed that he’s on a path to healing. A turning point came when he saw a tweet from his bandmate Jackson Wang, who wrote:

"I don't know what you've been through, but for those who are around you and make you unhappy, cutting them off is not a wrong thing."

BamBam paused to acknowledge how much that tweet meant to him, publicly thanking Jackson on stage:

"Jack, if you're watching this, I want to say thank you, man. I really love you and appreciate you"

The singer reassured his fans, explaining that everyone in his circle now genuinely cares for him, whether they are long-time colleagues or new people in his life. These supportive individuals have played a key role in helping him bounce back.

Looking forward, he expressed his hope that he will continue to be surrounded by people who truly have his best interests at heart. He found comfort in knowing that "his people" were not just those working with him but his fans as well, who have always had his back.

Closing on a positive note, BamBam emphasized that, despite the difficulties he’s faced over the past 10 years, from his trainee days to now, he’s always come through stronger. He encouraged everyone to worry less and focus on the joy and happiness that lie ahead. With renewed energy, he declared:

"Let's start over again!" and thanked everyone for standing by him.

This heartfelt exchange with his fans touched many, turning the concert into a moment of vulnerability and connection.

This period has highlighted not only BamBam's struggles but also the immense love and support he has received from both his fans and fellow band members.
