“Is it really that popular?” — that’s the question currently dividing K-pop fans after GOT7’s BamBam released his latest music video, “AMAZED.”
The MV for the song, which features a surprising kiss scene at the end, quickly went viral. Within just 14 hours of release, the video amassed a staggering 15 million views, sparking heated discussions over whether the numbers were entirely organic.
As the topic spread online, one user pointed out the unusually rapid increase, wondering whether BamBam’s global popularity alone could explain such massive engagement. Many netizens echoed this sentiment, claiming that although BamBam is indeed a well-known idol, his view count seemed unusually high, even compared to videos from major artists like BLACKPINK.
Others, however, came to BamBam’s defense. They highlighted her overwhelming influence in Thailand, where she is one of the most beloved celebrities. According to supporters, the explosive audience is not surprising, especially considering the buzz around the romantic ending that caught fans off guard.
Some observers have taken a more balanced view, suggesting that while BamBam’s fame likely drove much of the traffic, promotional ads may also have contributed to the rapid rise.
Starting October 13, the “AMAZED” MV has surpassed 41 million views, continuing to attract attention and fueling the ongoing debate about advertising versus organic views in the K-pop world.
