About MarkBam

MarkBam is the fan pairing between GOT7's Mark (Mark Tuan) and BamBam (Kunpimook Bhuwakul). The two have been friends since their trainee days at JYP Entertainment and debuted together with GOT7 in January 2014. Their friendship is one of the most documented within GOT7's membership. Mark and BamBam are known for a casual, brotherly dynamic: they traveled together, kept in contact through solo activities and schedule gaps, and have publicly expressed affection for each other in fan-facing settings. The pairing's authenticity, rooted in a genuine long-term friendship rather than manufactured variety show moments, is frequently cited by fans as what makes MarkBam special. After GOT7 members went their separate ways following the group's departure from JYP in early 2021, Mark and BamBam remained visibly close, reuniting publicly during overlapping schedules in South Korea.

MarkBam is one of GOT7's most popular in-group ships and is notable for being grounded in a friendship the members themselves have openly discussed. The fandom is active on Twitter/X and Tumblr and continues to document Mark and BamBam's interactions across their respective solo activities post-JYP.
