[MALAYSIA] BamBam Returns To Malaysia For An Iconic Fan Meet With Xiaomi

GOT7 member and soloist BamBam returns to Malaysia after 8 months for a special fan meet in conjunction with the release of Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 13 phone series at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur on July 13, 2024!

BamBam was announced as the first ambassador for Xiaomi Southeast Asia during its latest Redmi Note 13 Series launch event in Bangkok, back in January 2024. This was his first official visit to Malaysia as a Xiaomi ambassador, and his first visit since his solo concert back in October 2023.

A number of lucky fans were selected to attend the fan meet by lucky draw when they purchased Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G and Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G. A total of 150 fans were selected to see BamBam in person in a special area near the event stage. Other fans filled up the venue to see their favourite idol in person in a separate area further from the stage.

Iconic Arrival of the Ambassador

BamBam arrived at the fanmeet with loud cheers from the fans as some of them waited since early morning just to see him live. He was then greeted by the event’s emcee, Hani Fadzil who was the same emcee he had during his fansign event in the same mall back in October last year.

When asked about the things he did when visiting Malaysia this time around, BamBam mentioned that he was able to taste some of the local food including bak kut teh (meat bone soup) and Musang King durian, where he had the chance to peel the fruit himself as documented on his Instagram account. The emcee also taught BamBam a new Malay word “anje baby” (so cute my baby) as an alternative to the “sayang” (my love) word commonly used.

As the conversation progressed about the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G, BamBam mentioned that he really loves the new Olive Green colour of the phone as he was immediately reminded of IGOT7s (GOT7’s fandom) as their fandom colour is green too. He also took some beautiful cat photos using the phone’s camera and mentioned that all the commercial promotion photos were all taken using the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G. BamBam can also attest to the durability of the phone as he occasionally dropped the phone and splashed some water during his usage and it came out just fine.

Fan Interactions Aplenty

Before proceeding to the next segment, BamBam was presented with a special VCR prepared by his fans. BamBam was touched and thanked everyone for their love and support and mentioned that he needed the support as he was preparing his next album and he was not getting enough rest.

The next segment was where BamBam read some messages that were submitted by his fans who were in attendance. BamBam was so attentive when responding to the messages submitted by the lucky fans. Selected fans were then gifted with some merchandise from Xiaomi and BamBam.

Another segment is a lucky draw session, where BamBam chose some fans who will receive various gifts such as signed Redmi posters, signed Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G and also photo time with BamBam himself. He even asked the emcee to choose some of the winners to ensure fairness. The event then proceeded with BamBam’s photo time session with the selected fans.

The 1-hour fanmeet flew by and the event finally came to an end with a photo session using the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G. In his closing speech, BamBam thanked all of the fans for attending the fanmeet and promised that there will be more to come for his future releases, as well as his collaboration with Xiaomi.

We hope to see BamBam again in Malaysia soon, whether as the ambassador Xiaomi or artist BamBam! 

We would like to thank Xiaomi Malaysia for the media invite.
