"I want to be recognized in Korea"... The infinite charm of 'solo' BamBam you didn't know about

 BamBam, who left JYP Entertainment and group GOT7 to which he was affiliated for a long time and went solo, exuded infinite charm with his debut album.

BamBam held an online media showcase to commemorate the release of her first solo album 'riBBon' at 2 pm on the 15th to tell various stories.

On this day, BamBam presented a stage with intense eyes and facial expressions with the b-side song 'Pandora', a hip-hop song with an impressive repeated humming, while the title song 'riBBon' presented hopeful and bright energy and directed the stage craftsman.

BamBam's first solo album includes the title song 'riBBon', which is easy to sing along with an addictive melody and hopeful lyrics, 'Pandora', which is the complete opposite of the title song and boasts a strong and dark charm, 'Look so fine', which gives comfort to them, 'Air' with a languid and atmospheric melody and BamBam's sweet vocals, and 'Under the Sky', an R&B ballad song that BamBam introduces for the first time is a song about the preciousness and gratitude of the past. ', including the intro song, has a total of 6 songs.

When asked what kind of image he would like to show as a solo artist rather than GOT7's BamBam, BamBam said, "Looking at this album alone, there are a lot of different genres. Many people may be worried about BamBam's music color, but it's a song that can handle all styles well. I think it would be good to become a singer." He said, "All styles are diverse, but the one thing that all songs have in common is that they have to be exciting. I want you to enjoy even the darkest songs. I love concerts so much that I did a lot of world tours, and I definitely like exciting music at concerts. "He said.

When asked what kind of message they wanted to put in the new album, he said, "Hope is the main thing. With Corona 19, the environment changes and everyone gets a lot of stress. I wanted to tell you that there is always hope even in such a difficult situation. I also wanted to compare what was there to Corona 19, and I really wanted to show that BamBam is such a person.”

Regarding his bright and hopeful personality, BamBam said, "I was bright from the time I was a baby, but from the beginning of my debut, there were difficult moments, there were good times, and I felt a lot of emotions. He said, "It was a mindset to solve and not stick to any mistakes. Even if I make a mistake, I learned something from that mistake, so I think it's a good lesson in life. I'm trying to maintain a positive mindset."

BamBam also participated in all the songs in his first solo album. Regarding this, he said, "Honestly, I worked really hard. I worked until morning, and it was difficult, but it was fun. I was able to do the music I wanted to do in the meantime, and it was fun without me knowing. No matter how tired and late it was, working on an album or writing lyrics on the spot was so much fun. It seems," he said.

BamBam, who previously drew attention with an interview saying, 'I want to be properly recognized in Korea'. Although he is already reigning as a top star in Thailand, his personal recognition other than GOT7 in Korea is not yet satisfactory. When asked about the level of recognition in Korea, BamBam said, "Sometimes there are people who recognize me on the road, so it's nice to know. Recognition is important, but more than that, when I announced that I'm making a comeback, many people like me are excited. I hope that I will become a singer who can enjoy and expect music even if I am not a fan, and I feel like I am being recognized. I hope that I will become a BamBam who believes, sees, and listens to."

BamBam, who became a major K-pop artist as a foreigner, said about K-Pop, "It was the first time I fell in love with music. I started dancing with K-Pop, I like singing and rapping with K-Pop, and I dreamed of becoming a singer. A really great music genre I think that it is a great strength that fans from all over the world can gather in one place even if many foreign people speak different languages, with one thing called K-Pop. Also, I think there is a charm that comes from communicating with fans and singers rather than music. I do,” he said frankly.

Lastly, when asked what kind of artist BamBam would like to establish as an artist, he said, "I want to become an artist like your close friend. If you go to college, you have a friend who is loved wherever you go. Even if you are not close, I want to become an artist you like and want to get close to." Showcase finished.

Meanwhile, BamBam's first solo album 'riBBon' will be available on various music sites starting at 6 pm on the same day.
