BamBam Gets Candid Over DAY6 Young K Almost Joining GOT7 as the Rap Ace

In a recent episode of "Bam House," a YouTube show hosted by GOT7 member BAMBAM, an intriguing revelation came to light.

The guest on the show was none other than DAY6's Young K, and during their conversation, BAMBAM disclosed a surprising twist of fate.

BAMBAM began by introducing Young K to the viewers, and then he dropped the bombshell.

He explained that initially, he wasn't part of the pre-debut GOT7 team, and here's where the jaw-dropping revelation unfolded: "Guys, I've said this many times before, but... You know how I wasn't part of the pre-debut GOT7 team at first, right? Let me tell you something that may shock you. Young K was GOT7 before I was."

He went on to draw a parallel between Young K's journey and the experiences of other K-Pop idols, such as 2PM and 2AM members who shifted between groups before their official debuts.

Young K, it turned out, had a similar trajectory, initially assigned to GOT7 and even serving as the rapper for the pre-debut GOT7 team. BAMBAM emphasized that Young K might have debuted as a GOT7 member if things had played out differently.

As Young K reminisced about his almost-forgotten past, he commented, "Oh yeah! All the memories from that period are suddenly popping up in my mind."

BAMBAM, with a smile, probed further, asking Young K about his memories as a trainee at JYP Entertainment.

Young K, slightly blushing, confessed that he wasn't entirely comfortable discussing those days, adding a humorous note to the conversation by revealing that this was why he had initially been apprehensive about appearing on BAMBAM's show, much to the latter's amusement.
