The post was a carousel of the K-pop idol's old memories with his band-mates during their world tour. Though everything seemed adorable at first glance, it triggered some people, presumably Ukrainian Ahgases. They slammed the idol for supporting Russia and disappointing them, as one of the pictures showed the idol in the country years before the 2022 Russia-Ukraine conflict. The pictures were from 2018-19, as a fan noted. The Russia-Ukraine war is a sensitive issue, more so with the Russian military offensive continuing for over five months after it began. K-pop idols, in general, never come in or against the support of any political party, irrespective of them being on local or international grounds. Politics is an area where the K-pop industry stays the farthest from. However, a few have fallen into trouble, and BamBam is the latest addition to the list. One of the now-deleted pictures of the Thai rapper angered people as they alleged that the idol was supporting Russia’s action. The hateful comments led him to delete the post, clarify his stance, and showcase his anger on Twitter. He then re-uploaded the pictures without the controversial ones with the original caption, “happy now?” He later changed it to "old days."

His interaction with his fandom, Ahgase, on Twitter is all things fun and serious when need be. In a recent incident, BamBam took to Twitter to express his mind and call out the people who attacked him for allegedly supporting Russia. It began with the K-pop idol posting multiple photos of himself with his members as a shoutout to old memories. The pictures were of the members during their 2018-19 world tour and the Real Thai variety show released in 2019. One of the pictures was from the idol’s time in Russia. Many Ukrainian Ahgases expressed their discomfort and disappointment with the timing of the post. They demanded the idol apologize for the insensitive post. However, a few people criticized him, saying that he supported Russia. ivannadavv@ivannadavv#BAMBAM_APOLOGIZE YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED !!!
