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 on January 16, 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 parted ways with JYP following the group's contract expiry in January 2021, Mark and BamBam remained visibly close. At BamBam's 2nd Premium Live fanmeeting in Thailand in April 2022, BamBam revealed to fans that he and Mark had recently met up in South Korea and worked out together, confirming their bond remained strong across the solo-career years.

MarkBam is one of GOT7's most popular intra-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.
