When many people first here GOT7 BamBam‘s name they assume it’s just his stage name, but in reality, it’s his real name! As every Aghase knows, BamBam has two names, Kunpimook Bhuwakul and the shorter BamBam.

This isn’t all that uncommon in Thailand as parents generally give their children two names because the names are always so long.

BamBam’s siblings’ names are so long that even he has had trouble remembering them! Fans first learned of this during an episode of Knowing Brothers, when BamBam revealed he struggled with memorizing his oldest brother’s full name.

“Honestly, it’s too long. I can’t memorize it. It’s even longer than mine! But, he has a short name as well, it’s Beer.”

— BamBam

So to put it to the test, when GOT7 appeared on Idol Room Defconnand Jung Hyung Don proposed a special challenge for the idol. While each of the members had to face their own unique challenge to move onto the weird showcase, BamBam was tasked with correctly saying his siblings’ full names.

GOT7‘s BamBam is personable, very outgoing, enthusiastic, and has a great sense of humor. Not to mention the fact that he can translate a few different languages. All these qualities seem like they would make him a great tour guide! Unfortunately, the one time he tried it out, it ended up being a bit of a disaster!

A few years back the cast of Where Is My Friend’s Home headed to a Thai village to taste the local coffee, try their hand at farming and cooking, and give a performance.

Being able to speak Thai, BamBam was the obvious choice to help guide and translate for the group. At the time a local was showing the group some of the things that made the village unique and pointed out a swing that is part of the area’s original culture.

While things were going pretty smoothly, they were about to take a dramatic turn. As the villager explained to BamBam that everyone played on the swing during their swing festival…

BamBam turned around and explained it to the rest of the group. The only problem was that he misunderstood what he’d been told…

Which meant that what he told the others wasn’t quite the same story! Actually, it was really, really different from what he had been told!

Of course, his companions were shocked by the sudden horror story that was unfolding before them.

When they wanted to know a little bit more about who or what exactly was being sacrificed to the ghosts, BamBam relayed the news that it was always people.

Jackson was so shocked by the news that he attempted to call BamBam out because he couldn’t believe that such a peaceful village was hiding such a dark tradition.

But BamBam was quick to assure him it was true!

It wasn’t until the local told BamBam that anyone in the village could take part in the swinging that he started to expect something was up. After finding out that the swing wasn’t nearly as sinister as he first thought, he thankfully righted the mistake much to the relief of the entire group!

It’s probably safe to say that BamBam won’t be taking up any tour guide positions any time soon!
