Since Jungkook first introduced Bam in the reality show In the SOOP 2, the dog quickly captured the hearts of fans with his adorable appearance, big round eyes, and close bond with his dad. From then on, Bam became an important member of the extended BTS family, receiving as much love and attention from fans as Jungkook himself and the other members.
However, it has been quite a while since ARMY received any updates about Bam. The last time Jungkook mentioned his dog was right before he enlisted. At that time, he sweetly sent a message to Bam, saying that he would come back soon.
Then, fans have had no further information about Bam’s condition because his dad was in the military. Bam’s social media accounts, such as Instagram and YouTube, were also left inactive. That’s why ARMYs had been eagerly waiting for the day Jungkook would be discharged, bring Bam home, and share new updates about him.
Fortunately, even without a formal appearance, fans got a fresh little glimpse of Bam during Jungkook’s live broadcast on the 28th. Specifically, some fans noticed that Bam seemed to make his presence known in the very beginning of the live, before Jungkook appeared in the kitchen frame.
When the idol first started the livestream, the camera only showed the dining table, chairs, and a window. But the sound that followed instantly melted ARMYs’ hearts: Jungkook’s voice could be heard saying, “Bam Bam… Wait… wait!” along with a clattering noise, as if the dog was moving around on the floor. This sign strongly suggested that Bam had indeed returned home with Jungkook!
The news made the ARMY community erupt with joy. After such a long separation due to Jungkook’s military service and his busy schedules immediately afterward, he was finally reunited with his beloved “son.”
Previously, it had been revealed that Jungkook sent Bam to a dog training center during his extended absence. His intention was to ensure Bam would receive the best care, proper training, and have other pets to play with. Bam was seen going through training sessions, swimming exercises, and even spending holidays like New Year’s and Christmas happily with other dogs.
But now that Jungkook is back, fans believe nothing makes the two of them happier than being together again. Everyone knows just how much Jungkook loves Bam. In In the SOOP, Jungkook was often seen doting on him—whether taking him for walks, playing together, or simply gazing at him fondly while calling, “Bam-ah.”
In return, Bam has also shown his deep affection for his dad. In past episodes, whenever Jungkook left, Bam would anxiously search for him, sometimes not taking his eyes off him even with other people around.
Social media was soon filled with emotional comments from ARMY. Some fans even admitted to shedding tears when they heard Jungkook calling Bam during the livestream, saying it gave them a heartwarming and comforting feeling:
