BamBam and Sandara Park have been really great friends for some time now. After all, the GOT7 member and the 2NE1 rapper have both signed to ABYSS Company since 2021. However, it looks like BamBam made DARA’s move to the agency possible. The Thai idol revealed that he was the reason why the “Festival” singer joined the company in the first place!
Sandara Park Confirms BamBam Influenced Her Into Signing With His New Company
BamBam and Sandara Park made a delightful appearance on the September 8, 2023 episode of SBS Power FM’s “Cultwo Show” where they shared an intriguing anecdote about their friendship and collaboration. During the episode, Sandara recounted the pivotal moment when she decided to sign with ABYSS Company.
When Sandara met with ABYSS Company’s CEO to discuss the contract, she was pleasantly surprised by his companion, BamBam. In a playful and influencer-like manner, BamBam enthusiastically encouraged Sandara to sign, exclaiming, “It’s great. [Sign] it!” His support and conviction played a pivotal role in reassuring Sandara as she put pen to paper.
Their camaraderie has since blossomed into a close friendship. As MCs and guests on various occasions, they grew even closer, sharing moments like enjoying Chinese liquor together. BamBam and Sandara’s connection serves as a testament to the bonds that can form within the entertainment industry, transcending labels and fostering genuine friendships.
Dara debuted with 2NE1 in May 2009. She was the first member of the group to release a solo single “Kiss” (feat. CL) which was used for a Cass Beer promotional campaign. After 2NE1 disbanded in November 2016, Dara signed a solo contract with YG Entertainment. However, she did not release any solo music and later joined ABYSS Company in 2021.
In January 2021, BamBam left JYP Entertainment following the expiration of his contract. He later signed with ABYSS Company, releasing his first solo album ‘Sour & Sweet’ in March 2023.
