GOT7’s BamBam & (G)I-DLE’s Minnie Reminisce First Meeting Through BLACKPINK’s Lisa

BamBam and Minnie have once again proven their remarkable friendship. The GOT7 member invited the (G)I-DLE main vocalist to a “Bam House” episode to chat about their first meeting. Interestingly, the idols’ first interaction involved Thai superstar BLACKPINK’s Lisa!

BamBam Welcomes Minnie For Final Episode of ‘Bam House’

In the latest episode of “Bam House”, BamBam welcomed Minnie who arrived with cake and a gift for the GOT7 rapper’s birthday. The (G)I-DLE singer was happy to be the guest for the show’s final episode. She also pointed out that she hasn’t visited the “Ribbon” singer’s house since Lunar New Year in 2022.

BamBam couldn’t remember Minnie’s last visit but he asked if she recalled their first meeting. “Wasn’t it at KCON?” she wondered, but he said that was incorrect.

“No, no. It was when you didn’t have bangs,” BamBam said. He then pointed out that BLACKPINK’s Lisa was present during the interaction.

“Lisa asked me if I knew who you were, and I said I did,” he stated.

Minnie then remembered the moment. “That must have been when I went bowling with Lisa. Did we meet up with you after bowling? That was the year I debuted.”

BamBam pointed out, “I thought I knew you since before your debut, but it turns out, that’s not the case.”

Although there is some confusion about how they first met, Minnie clearly remembers her first impression of BamBam. She revealed that she had seen the rapper before her debut because of the vicinity of their dorms.

“Before I debuted, we lived in a dorm that was across the street from GOT7’s dorm,” Minnie revealed. “One day, I was on my way to the company, and I saw you walking in front of me,” she said to BamBam.

“You were wearing very pointy boots and super skinny jeans. In my head, I thought, ‘Why is he so thin?’. That was my first impression of him,” Minnie said.

“Bam House” is expected to get a second season when BamBam moves to a new house. (G)I-DLE is currently promoting their sixth mini album ‘I Feel’ with the title track “Queencard”.
