The 6 Thai Wonders Of K-Pop: BamBam, Lisa, Mintty, Nichkhun, Sorn, and Ten

Thailand’s architectural temples and golden Buddhas were the backdrop to these idols’ childhoods before they left for the bright lights of Seoul and became the stars that we all know and love. Especially loved for their close friendships, these 6 talented artists are often seen hanging out together as part of K-Pop’s “Thai Line”!

1. BamBam (GOT7)

BamBam, aka Kunpimook Bhuwakul, has made a name for himself as GOT7‘s rap and dance king. His Thai roots are a big part of his appeal and he remains true to his identity, specializing in rapping in Thai.

If you haven’t already heard his “Seventh Floor of Heaven” verse, check him out rapping on Knowing Bros.

He became a JYP Entertainment trainee in 2010 but, before that, he won 1st place in a “Rain Cover Dance” competition in Thailand back in 2007 and 2nd place in an “LG Entertainer” competition in 2010. He endorsed KFC and Ovaltine in Thailand, too!
