Life and career

Early life

His stage name and nickname is named after Bamm-Bamm Rubble of The Flintstones. As a child he was part of the dance crew "We Zaa Cool" with Lisa of Black Pink.[2]

2014: Debut as GOT7

He trained under JYP Entertainment for about three and a half years before his debut in Got7. His first pre-debut appearance was on an episode of Mnet's reality-survival program WIN: Who Is Next, which aired on September 6, 2013. Bambam alongside Mark, Jackson and Yugyeom were competing against the YG Entertainment trainees: Team A and Team B (that are now known as WINNER (Team A) and iKON (Team B)). Bam Bam revealed that JYP was reluctant for him to join the show and debut at first due to his age, but it was Yang Hyun Suk that changed his mind.[3]

Got7's debut song, "Girls Girls Girls" and the music video for the track were released on January 14, 2014.[4]
