BamBam Kunpimook Bhuwakul is a Thai singer, dancer, model, and member of GOT7 (갓세븐). He graduated from Pramoch Wittaya Ramindra School. Before debuting, he became a trainee at JYP Entertainment (JYP엔터테인먼트) in 2010. He appeared in many Thai commercials before moving to South Korea. He won first place in a “Rain Cover Dance” competition in Thailand back in 2007 and finished in second place in the “LG Entertainer” competition in 2010. He was also part of the dance crew WE ZAA COOL alongside his childhood friend Lisa of BLACKPINK and even appeared in a minor role in the 2012 Hong Kong film "Fairy Tale Killer". He made his debut in January 2014 as GOT7's sub-rapper with their first EP, "Got It?". The group gained attention almost immediately thanks to their live performances and the inclusion of complicated martial arts tricking (a combination of kicks with flips and twists) and street dancing. Months later, they debuted in Japan with the single "Around the World" and began expanding their market to Southeast Asia and the United States. In January 2021, he decided not to renew his contract with JYP and left the agency. He then signed with Abyss Company (어비스컴퍼니) and made his debut as a solo artist in June 2021 with the single "Ribbon". He is a brand ambassador for several products in Thailand. JYP agreed to let them keep the GOT7 name, and while they are currently without management, the group's music is distributed by Kakao Entertainment (카카오엔터테인먼트). They reunited for several fan events in 2022 and released a new album titled "Winter Heptagon" in January 2025. On February 6, 2025, Abyss Company announced that BamBam had parted ways with the agency. HALO Corporation announced on April 29, 2025, that they signed an exclusive contract with BamBam.
