• GOT7's BamBam Opens Up About His Crush on TWICE's Nayeon: "There were fans who criticized me for liking her"

    GOT7's BamBam shared a story about his past crush on TWICE's Nayeon during his trainee days.

    On June 14th, BamBam's channel 'BamHouse' released a video titled 'Isn't It Wrong to Have a Crush on Nayeon?!

    Nayeon, the Guilty One Who Makes Everyone Have a Crush,' featuring TWICE's Nayeon. During their conversation, Nayeon recalled BamBam confessing his crush on her during Jihyo's appearance.

    She reminisced, "Whether at school or anywhere, it's normal to have secret crushes, right? Bam was everyone's source of amusement for liking me. Everyone knew. Whenever I entered the vocal room, they would tease BamBam."

    BamBam explained, "Some fans criticized me for liking her. They even shared my photos from that time, questioning why I liked her. I didn't take it personally; they probably thought I was just a kid."

    Even company staff were aware of BamBam's crush, despite the no-dating policy for trainees. BamBam added, "People found it cute because I was young. I might have mentioned liking Nayeon to Jackson or Mark in the dorms, and soon everyone knew. I was really into her back then."

    However, BamBam confessed, "I never expected anything to happen and didn't hope for it. I was content just having feelings for her quietly," nervously adding, "I can't look at her now. I feel like she might suddenly distance herself."

    Nayeon responded warmly, "Because it felt genuine, I thought it was sweet and made an effort to treat him well," and added, "I thought there was a big age gap between us, but it's only two years."

    Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

    On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.
