BamBam’s ‘Area 52’ World Tour announcement comes a handful of months after he released his debut studio album ‘Sour & Sweet’, which was led by its title track of the same name. Prior to its release, BamBam had released two solo mini-albums: ‘B’ in January 2022 and his debut record ‘riBBon’ in June 2021.
The singer embarked on his solo career under Abyss Company after he and his GOT7 bandmates left longtime agency JYP Entertainment in January 2021. The septet released the single ‘Encore’ following their departure from the company, and shared that each of them would be focusing on solo endeavours for the following year.
In May 2022, GOT7 made a comeback with their 12th self-titled mini-album and its lead single ‘Nanana’.
