Netizens and fans express growing concern for the GOT7 member’s well-being.
Netizens have recently expressed worry over GOT7’s BamBam and his mental health. This concern began in July when BamBam posted an alarming message on Instagram, where he revealed feeling overwhelmed.
“I just want to sleep and don’t wake up so I can finally rest.” — BamBam

“It’s been a long run from last year till now and still a long way to go… It was a lot of pressure and stress… Sometimes I’m getting sensitive and emotional… I’ll be okay. Sorry if I caused any worry.” — BamBam
Recent Tour and Emotional Speech
BamBam is currently on his 2024 BAMESIS Showcase Tour. During his concert in Manila last month, he gave a heartfelt speech, confessing his ongoing struggles with happiness.
“I feel like the more you grow up, the happy days keep getting less… I feel unhappy more than I feel happy these days. I just want to be honest because you guys are the only people that I can talk to.” — BamBam
Despite his personal battles, BamBam encouraged his fans to find happiness even if he couldn’t. He credited their energy as a source of comfort, especially during his performances.
If this world (is) not gonna allow me to be so happy, at least I want to give my energy to you guys so y’all can be happy more. So, Ahgase, please, at least for me, please be happy for me, all right? And then someday … maybe when I need that energy, please, y’all can cheer me up and be there for me, so thank you. Not gonna cry, not gonna cry. …I have a lot of things going on in my mind right now, but then every time, the only place that I feel free and I feel like happy these days is meeting you guys on stage … so the stage is like a playground for me right now. When I’m by myself, I kinda think a lot, so I appreciate you guys come out here and have a good time for me.

Then he apologized on X (formerly Twitter) for his negativity, promising to take a break and come back more positive.
“The past 2 weeks I want to say sorry for being so negative and sensitive. I will take some time off for myself and will come back as a positive BamBam again.” — BamBam

Yet, BamBam has posted more alarming posts recently that have made everyone more concerned. On September 29, he shared an Instagram story saying he would be “gone for good” in 2025.
BamBam also posted on X, saying, “I hope you had good night.” Ah Ahgase commented on the post, expressing their concern, to which he replied, “People around me is the reason i’m dying.”
A few days ago, BamBam shared Justin Bieber‘s “Changes” via his X and Instagram Stories on his way back home to Thailand.
"I just wanna be the best of me even though sometimes I forget to breathe, so that I can be the best for you, that's all I wanna do"
Oh Bammie. I hope you know that you being the best for us means you being happy with yourself, with a healthy, peaceful state of mind & wellbeing. https://t.co/1HhFsh4GDE
