GOT7's BamBam recently opened up about a tough time in his life. On the 9th, he appeared in a video on the YouTube channel 'JibDaeseong,' where he talked about nearly quitting the music industry.

BamBam shared, "After leaving JYP, I seriously thought about retiring. I had been working hard for seven years, but I wasn't getting the recognition I wanted in Korea. I thought maybe it was time to move back to Thailand and live with my mom."

He added, "But then Abyss, my current agency, kept reaching out. Unlike other companies that wanted me to focus on Southeast Asia, Abyss asked if I wanted to be recognized in Korea. So, I decided to give it one last shot. During a break, I got the chance to be on 'Transit Love 2.' At first, I thought, 'Why would I join a dating show?' But it ended up changing my life. I'm really glad I didn't retire."

Looking back, BamBam admitted, "I was in a mindset of giving up, so I just said whatever I was thinking. I didn't expect so many people to relate to it. I guess it shows that sometimes it's better not to overthink."

In July, BamBam posted on social media, "I don't want to wake up after falling asleep. That's the only way I can rest." This message, shared right before his August comeback, worried a lot of fans.

He later deleted the post and explained, "I've been pushing myself hard since last year, and there's still a lot to do. I've been dealing with stress and haven't been feeling well physically, which made me emotional." He assured fans, "I'll keep doing my best this year, but I'll also make time to rest. I'm sorry if I caused any concern."

BamBam released his new album 'BAMESIS' in August and is currently promoting it.
