Kunpimook Bhuwakul, a.k.a BamBam, under the watchful gaze of The Flintstones’ Bamm-Bamm Rubble, is not just a rapper and singer but a walking, talking dynamo based in South Korea as well as his native country of Thailand.

BamBam’s journey into Korean culture started with his mom, the ultimate Rain fan, dragging him to concerts. Little did he know, those K-pop beats would be the soundtrack to his future career as a K-pop idol. At the age of 10, he was already busting moves, a dancing sensation in the making, and winning the Thailand Rain Cover Dance Competition at 13 was just the beginning.

BamBam’s appearance on Mnet’s Who Is Next shaped him into the artist that he is now. He survived the showdown and, alongside fellow members, debuted in Got7 with the track Girls Girls Girls in 2014. Without a doubt, BamBam is the real deal behind the scenes. He’s produced lyric videos, dropped singles like Make It Right, and even thanked fans with a self-directed video titled My Year 2018. Talk about a true triple threat.

In 2021, BamBam spread his wings, leaving JYP Entertainment for ABYSS company, where he continues to shine. His solo debut EP, Ribbon, took South Korea by storm. Apart from music, BamBam dipped his toes into acting as the MC for the Thai version of Simply K-Pop Con-Tour. Versatility at its finest!

2022 was the year of BamBam, featuring a digital single, Who Are You, with Red Velvet’s Seulgi, a second EP, B, and even a digital single under the new kid on the block, Golden State Entertainment. But that’s not all – he dropped his first studio album, Sour & Sweet, in March 2023, followed by the Area 52 World Tour, where he conquered stages across Asia.

After the Asian leg of his world tour, BamBam is heading to the US, South America as well as Europe. The journey will begin in Oakland, CA, on February 10, 2024, and will end in Frankfurt, Germany, on March 26, 2024. The three European stops are Paris, London, and the aforementioned Frankfurt. 

With Onion Production taking care of the European leg of the world tour, fans can purchase tickets to BamBam’s shows from January 5th, 2024.
