BamBam of GOT7 looked chic as he showed off his new look complete with a pair of oversized of tinted glasses, a turtleneck top and white purple hair.

“Hi guys, double B’s here. Long time no see,” the singer said kicking off the livestream as he promised to stay live for some time.

In place of the group’s canceled fan meeting event, the singer explained he came online to help fans fall asleep.

“Before we have a good time, I want everyone watching right now, please don’t care about this pimple please.”

The multilingual singer skillfully switched between Korean, English and Thai as he talked to fans.

While the singer said he’s working on new music and practicing, he also shared his love for the new drama series “Itaewon Class.”

“I don’t know if it’s because it’s not a conventional love story or because I’ve been a fan of the webtoon series, but it’s so much fun.”

The GOT7 member also praised the choice of actors and actresses for the show.

Minhyuk appeared wearing a mask, given the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.

The livestream was entitled “Here’s a White Day Gift” as it was White Day on Saturday in Korea where men give sweets to women as a gift to show their love, as opposed to Valentine’s Day where the roles are reversed.

The Monsta X member also quickly answered a number of questions including “Doesn’t your arm hurt?” as he was holding the phone, as well as “Can you show us the palm of your hand?”

When asked about which film he’s watched recently, he answered, “The Greatest Showman.”

The member said he came after working out with fellow bandmate Yuto.

“I debated whether to just do a voice-only show,” the singer said as he expressed his dissatisfaction with how he looked, compared to when he appeared on a music program.

Sporting a pair of lensless glasses, the singer sent regards to viewers in English as well while the clock was ticking at 2:47 a.m.

During the nearly 50-minute-long stream, he also talked about promoting their song “Shower of Rain.”

While he loves the track, he added it’s unfortunate that TV networks that are usually open on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are now closed temporarily, which means that there was no live music program this week.

He also praised fellow bandmate Yuto’s rap skills
