Got7’s success
Not long after their debut, BamBam and Got7 released the band’s first EP, titled “Got It?”, which topped the Billboard World Albums Chart for the first time. They also reached the second place on the Korean Gaon Music Chart, which measures the popularity of songs and albums in Korea.
Soon, this band attracted people’s attention, especially their live performances. The group emphasizes their performance ability. They can dance B-boy dance and martial arts. Many people compare them with their predecessor, 2 PM, who specializes in acrobatic dance moves.
Their popularity spread to Japan, leading them to sign a contract with Japan’s Sony Music Entertainment, where they often perform in the country. The band also began to release Japanese singles and albums, and achieved success, including their first album “Identify”.
Over the years, they have continued to release extended broadcasts (EP) such as “Mad” and “Just Right”. Their first Japanese studio album, called “Moriagatteyo”, debuted at No. 3 on the Oricon album chart. They have not forgotten their main audience in Korea and released more EPs and their second full album “Flight Log: Turbulence”. Some of their recent releases include “Eyes On You”, “Spinning Top: Between Security & Insecurity” and their 10th EP “Call My Name”.
Other projects and activities
In addition to releasing music with Got7, BamBam often participates in other projects, such as appearing in the variety show “Real Men” and appearing with his band partner Jackson. He also served as the permanent host of the show “M Countdown” with Jinyoung and held that position for one year.
He also ventured into business and created a clothing brand called double. The launch of his business witnessed the release of a limited edition design, and the proceeds will be donated to the Water.org organization, which aims to provide safe drinking water to communities.

Hero and produced a video for Got7’s YouTube channel showing the band’s tour in the United States.
personal life

When his young father died, he liked to go home to visit his mother and three siblings who were good at dancing. In his spare time, he listens to music and has a keen interest in photography. He also has four cats.
