While we wait for GOT7’s reunion which is closer than ever, Ahgases (GOT7’s fandom) have helped chart Bambam’s ‘B’ in celebration of its release. The Thai-born idol was the first GOT7 member to drop a solo first album in June 2021 after the K-pop group left their company JYPE. Following its smashing success, he is back in seven months with his second mini-album ‘B’ which he released on January 18, 2022.

Bambam ended the year with a bang as he dropped the pre-release ‘Who Are You’ featuring Red Velvet’s Seulgi which had fans dubbing it the ‘collaboration of the year’. He also hinted at a partnership with Pink Sweat$ and later revealed that the American R&B singer had indeed co-written the title track ‘Slow Mo’ with him. And to hype it up, GOT7 fans helped the album top charts like iTunes.
