Jackson Wang of GOT7 showed support to his bandmate BamBam after the latter recently penned a few alarming posts on social media.

Wang took to X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, Oct. 1, to reply to one of BamBam’s posts, advising him that it’s okay to be “selfish and get things right for himself.”

“People closely around us, [especially] the industry. The only thing they care about is living their life like you are living [yours]. Different intentions. It’s facts; it’s reality. We all go through it, just [in] different aspects,” he expressed.

“Don’t take it negatively. Sometimes you [just have to] be more selfish and get things right for [yourself]. It’s not always a bad thing. We all have choices. Make them bam. Be at a place where you get appreciation. Don’t forget who [you are]. [I] love you for who you are,” added the K-pop star.

The “Feeling Lucky” singer then reminded BamBam that he got fans who love him that other things, such as “agency and labels,” should not matter.

“One more thing, Bam [red heart emoji], [your] audience loves you. [You are the] reason. Not anything else—not the people, team, label, partners, or anyone else,” he said.

BamBam recently sparked concern among his fans after posting about death, with remarks saying that the “people around him are the reason he’s dying” and “he just wants to sleep and doesn’t wake up so he can finally rest.” 

In January 2021, all seven members of GOT7 left JYP Entertainment and are now pursuing their solo careers. 

Last year, Wang and BamBam reunited at Paris Fashion Week. The duo was previously in Manila for a concert with another boy group TREASURE.

Meanwhile, BamBam took his “Area 52” concert to the Philippines just last month.
