It’s not every time that we get to see several artists from different agencies in one frame. But Yugyeom just did that! And to the delight of fans, these artists also come from different fields in the South Korean entertainment industry.
On February 20, Yugyeom of the K-pop boy group GOT7 hosted a listening party for his first full-length album Trust Me. To fans’ surprise, a number of familiar faces in the industry came in to support the singer.
After the event, the youngest GOT7 member treated the fans by showing a glimpse of the party through a series of photos. Notably, the guest list included SEVENTEEN members DK, Mingyu, The8, Woozi and Vernon, NCT members Johnny and Jaehyun, and fellow GOT7 member Bambam.
Moreover, ATEEZ’s Mingi, BtoB’s Peniel, iKON’s Donghyuk, and Pentagon’s Kino and Hui were also among the boy group members who went to celebrate with Yugyeom.

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
