GOT7‘s BamBam is going viral in the Philippines!
On October 21, Filipino fans of the Thai singer were amazed when he posted a photo of his snack of the day on social media. It was none other than the local delicacy called balut.

Although it looks like a simple hard boiled egg on the outside, it is actually a fertilized duck egg made up of the egg yolk, the egg white, the soup, and the baby duck itself.
Balut | How Stuff Works
A few days after sharing this photo, BamBam uploaded the full video of himself trying the egg for the first time. It opened with him cracking the shell on a hard surface.

… a number of them couldn’t help but laugh at the pun that he created. GOT7’s fandom is called Ahgase (also known as IGOT7) which means “baby bird” in Korean. As such, BamBam was experiencing eating the Filipino ahgase—balut! He even said before putting the egg in his mouth that he’s “eating Ahgase for the first time.”

Last month BamBam shared in his press conference that he would like to “taste” his fans. He finally got to do so by eating balut!
I wanna experience eating my own fandom.
