BamBam confessed to racism for 10 years, saying, 'Dongnam, take out XX.'



Singer BamBam confessed that he received racist malicious comments after his debut.

Recently, a video titled 'BamBam, Racial Discrimination Story, and Criticism of Dance Challenges' was posted on YouTube content 'Larity Show'.

BamBam from Thailand said "I was okay when I was a trainee. When we lived in the accommodation, we were all foreigners, and we had a few GOT7 members already, so we got along well. The company loved it, and the results of the monthly evaluation and attitude were also good. So I made my debut to go with confidence, but it didn't work out as I thought. It was difficult at this time."



BamBam said "I was too young at the time to swear, and my skin was not as bright as it is now. He has cheek fat and his voice. People would say, "If it wasn't for him, it would have been completed." They would say, "Take out that Southeast Asian XX." It hurt me a lot"Surprised Lia Kim and Amy by revealing.

BamBam said "I was disappointed at the time, but I used it as a driving force and worked hard. I think it's gotten better, but when I perform abroad, there are a lot of my fans. When I have a concert in Korea, there aren't many fans. Rather, after I became a soloist, Koreans recognized it at some point." "Maybe it's because of entertainment, but I like it these days because my main job has gained momentum thanks to entertainment." It was a difficult 10 years before it was recognized."



In response, Lia Kim "I never thought of such words. He said, "Isn't there a lot of idols from Thailand who are loved in Korea?" "All the members from Thailand are so good at dancing," he said, while BamBam said, "Lisa and I used to be on the same dance team. We worked together, and I was cast in JYP and Lisa was cast in YG."

BamBam said "There was a time when dance culture was hotter than singing in Thailand. There are a lot of dance competitions. So many people would have chosen to dance first."
