Meanwhile, Ahgases, GOT7’s fanbase, also shared their excitement on social media as they showered the artist with praises. One wrote: “The album is insane honestly. Yugyeom deserves all of this.”
So far this is the most iconic comeback of a GOT7 member for me. The album is great, so far the promotion of the management is good, not to mention how a lot of KPOP, KRNB and even K-Actors are showing support to Yugyeom. This album is insane honestly Yugyeom deserves all of this
