GOT7’s Bambam recently shared the genuine reason behind his decision to unfollow Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon on Instagram, a move that had left fans buzzing with curiosity and speculation.
In the latest episode of Bambam’s YouTube show “Bam House,” released on June 14, 2024, TWICE’s Nayeon joined him as a guest. While enjoying Thai food, the conversation took an interesting turn when the staff asked Bambam why he had unfollowed Taeyeon.
Bambam candidly explained that he made the choice to help him concentrate on his tour. He admitted that he often found himself browsing Taeyeon’s social media, especially since she began participating in TikTok challenges. Realizing how frequently he checked her account, Bambam decided to unfollow her to maintain his focus.
Nayeon, taken aback by his confession, exclaimed, “What the?!” She then speculated that Taeyeon must be Bambam’s ideal type for him to go to such lengths. However, Bambam clarified that while Taeyeon is not his ideal type, she has become a “standard” for him.
Following the episode’s release, the clip of Bambam’s explanation quickly went viral on social media and South Korean online community forums.
A popular tweet humorously asked, “Kids, do you also unfollow your bias when you need to concentrate during exam period? Bambam said that he had to focus on his tour, so he unfollowed Taeyeon on Instagram.”
The topic also gained traction on TheQoo, a well-known South Korean online community forum. Commenters found Bambam’s reason amusing, with some noting that his admiration for Taeyeon seemed even greater than that of typical K-pop fans.
They joked about his apparent one-sided love for the Girls’ Generation member, adding another layer of charm to his candid revelation.
