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 lessโฆ 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.”

Despite his personal battles, BamBam encouraged his fans to find happiness even if he couldnโt. 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 yโall can be happy more. So, Ahgase, please, at least for me, please be happy for me, all right? And then someday โฆ maybe when I need that energy, please, yโall can cheer me up and be there for me, so thank you. Not gonna cry, not gonna cry. โฆI 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 โฆ so the stage is like a playground for me right now. When Iโm by myself, I kinda think a lot, so I appreciate you guys come out here and have a good time for me.

Addressing Fansโ Concerns
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.”

Yet, BamBam has posted more alarmingย posts recently that have made everyone more concerned. On September 29, he shared an Instagram story saying he would be โgone for goodโ in 2025.
BamBam also posted on X, saying, โI hope you had good night.โ Ah Ahgase commented on the post, expressing their concern, to which he replied, โPeople around me is the reason iโm dying.โ
A few days ago, BamBam shared Justin Bieberโs โChangesโ via his X and Instagram Stories on his way back home to Thailand.
Ahgases have been hoping BamBam would get the rest and help he needs, as his recent posts are concerning everyone, including non-fans and his celebrity friends.

On October 4, during his showcase in Chiang Mai, BamBam acknowledged the supportive messages he had received. He addressed his fansโ concerns, as well as Jackson’s kind words.
