GOT7 Bambam Sparks Concerns for Suspected Mental Health Issues
The brilliant and sexy rapper-dancer of GOT7 has reportedly been suffering from suspected mental health issues. Throughout this year, the successful Thai celebrity has been giving out hints and signals that he was feeling unbearably fatigued and overwhelmed.
In July, Bambam posted Instagram updates that sparked immense concerns from the public.
“I just want to sleep and don’t wake up so I can finally rest.
Is been a long run from last year till now, and still a long way to go.
It was a lot of pressure and stress and since my body not really feel so well for a long time now.
Sometimes, I’m getting sensitive and emotional.
I’ll do my best on this year and will find my time to rest.
I’ll be okay.
Sorry if I caused any worry.
Have a good day.”

Repeated Messages of Being Unhappy – What Happened?
Not only that, but the concerns grew deeper during his “2024 [BAMESIS] SHOWCASE TOUR”. At his Manila concert in September 2024, BamBam delivered a heartfelt speech to Ahgases.
The messages left fans heartbroken as he confessed to feeling increasingly unhappy these days. They were then left in a mix of worry and support as the beloved idol opened up about his struggles.
Bambam’s Speech on Stage
“I feel like the more you grow up, the happy days keep getting less.
I’m gonna say I feel unhappy more than I feel happy these days. I just wanna be honest because you guys are the only people that I can talk to.
You guys are the only people that I can lean to. That’s why I really wanted to express my feelings to you guys.
But if this world (is) not gonna allow me to be so happy, at least I want to give my energy to you guys so you all can be happy more.
So Ahgase, please, at least for me, please be happy for me, all right?
Yeah, and then someday, maybe when I need that energy, please, you all can cheer me up & 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 & I feel like happy these days is meeting you guys on stage. So, you know, 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 & have a good time for me. Y’all energy today means so much to me so I appreciate you guys.
Thank you so much. Please be happy. Too fast to live, too young to die. Past is history. Future is mystery. Today is (a) gift. Live today like (it’s) your last.”

? I feel like the more you grow up, the happy days keep getting less… I'm gonna say I feel unhappy more than I feel happy these days. I just wanna be honest because you guys are the only people that I can talk to.
