Alongside ABYSS Company's official announcement, Bambam himself updated fans through his personal Twitter account, sharing new headshots he took for the company. He also made a simple tweet that reads "#ABYSSCOMPANY".
The idol also shared his official social media accounts with ABYSS Company. His Instagram and Twitter handles are both @BAMBAMxABYSS, while his Facebook account is simply BamBam. All three mentioned social media platforms only feature the official ABYSS Company poster as of press time.
The idol also officially launched a YouTube channel called "BAMBAM SPACE." One video has been uploaded to the channel, titled "BAMBAM X ABYSS," that features Bambam posing for the camera and showing off his visuals. The introductory film makes us of lights, flashes, and VHS-like effects.
Labelmate Sunmi Welcomes Bambam to ABYSS Company
Following the announcement that Bambam is ABYSS Company's latest talent, now-labelmate Sunmi proudly welcomed the Thai idol to the family. Sunmi quote-tweeted ABYSS Company's poster welcoming Bambam to the company and warmly tweeted, "Welcome, #BAMBAM dongsaeng." The phrase dongsaeng literally translates to "younger sibling," as can be used by a non-family member when they are close.
Bambam and Sunmi were previously labelmates under JYP Entertainment. Under JYP Entertainment, Sunmi debuted as a member of the Wonder Girls in 2007 and as a soloist in 2013. Following the Wonder Girls' disbandment in 2017, Sunmi signed with MakeUs Entertainment, which is now known as ABYSS Company.
