'Sorry Bambam': Ahgases apologize for cheating on GOT7 Bambam with his backup dancer

Bambam sends his backup dancer on a vacation after GOT7 fans start simping over the dancer while fans reassure 'we still love you more'

Whatever goes down in the GOT7 fandom is between members and their fans - the Ahgases (iGOT7s) but it seems fans are trying to get on Bambam's every last nerve, just as he would like. Ever since Bambam began touring through Thailand, fans had started taking notice of the rapper and singer's backup dancers. To the rapper's displeasure, it seems like Ahgases went overboard with their jokes but there's more to the story than just that.

Often times in K-pop there have been instances of fans swooning and simping over backup dancers more than the idols themselves. A few such names are Cha Hyun-seung, who shot to fame after dancing as Sunmi's backup dancer or NO:ZE, who made it big after performing with EXO's Kai and SHINee's Key. Not only that but BTS fans were also caught swooning over Noh Kyung-nam, the boy group's backup dancer from 'Permission To Dance on Stage' concerts in Seoul.
