Studio," a video titled "BamBam talks about racism and criticism of dance challenge" was uploaded.
When asked if it was difficult for him to adapt to Korea, BamBam replied, "When I was a trainee, it was fine.
When I was living in the dorm, there were other foreigners there and GOT7 members were already there, so I had a good time."
At the same time, he said, "In fact, all of my grades and attitudes in the end-of-month evaluations were good."
"So I made my debut with confidence, but when I actually made my debut, things didn't go as I expected. That was a difficult time," she confided.
BamBam said, "I was too young at the time and my skin wasn't as clear as it is now.
I had fat on my cheeks, and people said things like, 'If it weren't for me, you would have finished,' and 'that Southeast Asian XX guy.' It hurt," she said, drawing a sigh.
BamBam added, "I was very disappointed at the time, but I used it as motivation and worked hard. To be honest, when I perform overseas, I have a lot of fans, but when I perform in Korea, I don't have many fans.
But as soon as I started my solo career, Koreans started to recognize me. It may be because of variety shows, but variety shows have given me a boost in my main career, so recently
I'm happy."
