It has been a decade since K-pop boy group GOT7 made their debut. And to celebrate their 10th anniversary, the members penned heartfelt letters for the fans!

To note, the hitmakers behind the tracks “Hard Carry,” “Just Right,” “NANANA,” and many more made their official debut on January 16, 2014. As a way of commemorating their 10 years in the industry this 2024, the group’s official X account posted photos of the members in polaroid shots with the hashtag #GOT7FOREVER and #ADecadeWithGOT7.

Although all members left JYP Entertainment in 2020, each member — Mark, JAY B, Jackson, Jinyoung, Youngjae, BamBam, and Yugyeom – have been vocal on how they’d still want to do group activities as GOT7.

GOT7 members’ message for the fans

On their personal social media accounts, the members also shared their gratitude for having achieved the milestone. Jackson Wang, the group’s main rapper, took the chance to look back on their journey and thank the people who have been part of it. 

“I love you all, the time you all spent with us was precious,” Jackson said. Moreover, he also emphasized how much he puts importance on their supporters. “I’ve always wanted to make our fandom and crowd proud, as a team, and also as an individual.” In his letter, he said that GOT7 wouldn’t be where they are today without the group’s fanbase, Ahgases. 

On the other hand, Park Jinyoung, who is currently performing his mandatory service, also took the time to celebrate the group’s anniversary with the fans. 

In his handwritten letter, Jinyoung said that the 10 years did not seem like a long time and he feels like they could go on even longer. Furthermore, the singer promised to return healthily from the military.

 

Meanwhile, JAY B, the group’s leader who is also in the military, stated that he treasures all the moments they had in the past. “We GOT7, will work hard so we become artists you can have pride in. Thank you for trusting and loving GOT7,” he shared. 

 

For his part, Mark Tuan mentioned in his note that despite not having group activities for a year and a half now, the members would like to get together and perform as a septet on stage soon. With this, he then asked fans to patiently wait for their comeback.

 

Message from the maknae line

The group’s youngest member, Yugyeom, also penned a message for the anniversary. In here, the maknae said that he wants to become a person Ahgases can be proud of which is why he worked hard making new music. Notably, he announced in the same letter that he will be dropping his first solo studio album Trust Me, slated for release on February 21.

On his radio show, Youngjae also opened up about how meaningful it is to celebrate a decade in their industry. “We were very considerate towards each other, and we thought of each other a lot.” 

 

While the rest of the members shared emotional posts, Bambam greeted the group and the fans lightly by posting memes. Showing a glimpse of the boys’ bond, the “Slow Mo” singer uploaded funny pictures and clips of the members both on his Instagram and X accounts. “We’ve been through a lot and that’s what makes us strong and special,” Bambam said.

Aside from the heartwarming messages, all the members wished for the fans’ happiness and good health as well, showing their genuine love for their supporters. Ahgases, in return, responded with a promise to stay with the boy group for a long, long time.

Congratulations on your 10th anniversary, GOT7!

GOT7’s BamBam Airs Frustration Over Bad Experience in Seoul Music Awards

The 33rd Seoul Music Awards (SMA) held on Tuesday, January 2 was supposed to be a celebration of achievements. However, several artists and attendees, including GOT7’s BamBam, were left disappointed due to the poor execution show.

Held in Bangkok, Thailand, the SMA was hosted by GOT7 members BamBam and Youngjae, Girls’ Generation’s Tiffany Young and actor Lee Seung-Gi. 

Several K-Pop groups in the likes of NCT Dream, ZEROBASEONE, Riize, STAYC, and Nmixx were in attendance. Soloists Kang Daniel, Sandara Park, and trot singer Young Tak also made an appearance in the show. 

However, despite the star-studded lineup of performers, the event drew attention with the events’ mishaps being exposed on social media.

In his personal X (formerly Twitter) account, BamBam, who was both an MC and a performer at the SMA, expressed his frustration over the experience. Furthermore, he directly called the event as “the WORST sound system” of his life.

In the same social media platform, several clips of BamBam’s performance surfaced with the idol seemingly challenged with the played music. One clip also showed the audio being completely cut off for a few seconds.

Moreover, some attendees echoed the singer’s criticism, as well as chiming the numerous setbacks they’ve experienced at the event. Among these complaints include a brief and late soundcheck, disorganized flow, and prolonged delays including its online broadcast. 

When one X user shared his thoughts about the mishap saying that they feel sorry for the artists involved, the Thai idol had another candid response. “They just want to make money from us. I’ll never go to awards shows again,” he declared. 

Fans applaud the professionalism of BamBam

Despite the poor management of the event, BamBam was still showered with positive remarks. After sharing his disappointment, fans immediately reassured the idol that he did a great job in handling the situation.

“You performed like a true and very skilled professional,” one fan wrote. Meanwhile another stated that given all their hard work and preparations, BamBam and the other artists did great during the event. “We are so proud of you,” a number of fans told the singer.

Other fans also took the opportunity to thank BamBam for speaking out. As it is not a common sight to see idols share their honest remarks about certain issues, K-pop fans were shocked to read his posts.

“This is revolutionary. Thank you for always being one of the few artists who stood up to talk about things that should be addressed,” one fan said.

As of writing, the organizers and management of SMA has yet to address BamBam’s post.

J.Y. Park Shares Thoughts on GOT7’s JYPE Departure

J.Y. Park recently appeared on GOT7 member BamBam’s “Bam House” program, where the two artists engaged in a conversation about their past association. Towards the end of the episode, BamBam posed a final question, asking J.Y. Park, “What kind of singer was GOT7 to you?” In response, J.Y. Park expressed that he believed the group had yet to reveal their full potential to the public.

While acknowledging that GOT7 had performed well, J.Y. Park stated, “Compared to what you guys have, I’m still not satisfied.” He went on to suggest that he believed the group had “more special things” to showcase.

While this statement might be interpreted as J.Y. Park expressing that he sees untapped potential in the group, it stirred mixed reactions among fans. Some fans appreciated the encouragement, interpreting it as a belief in the group’s capabilities. However, others, given the past grievances and criticisms directed at JYP and J.Y. Park, found the comment somewhat unsatisfactory, questioning the extent to which the group’s potential may have been constrained under the company.

The statement serves as a reflection of the complex dynamics between artists and their management in the K-pop industry, where fans closely scrutinize the interactions and comments made by both parties. GOT7’s journey post-JYP continues to be closely followed by their dedicated fanbase AHGASEs who are eager to see the group flourish in new endeavors while reflecting on their experiences under JYP Entertainment.

GOT7, originally debuting under JYP Entertainment in 2014, chose to part ways with the company in 2021 as their contracts expired. The JYPE departure marked a significant moment for the group, who continued their journey together, even releasing an album and navigating individual pursuits as members began their military enlistments.

Towards the end of their tenure at JYP, fans expressed various grievances, including concerns about mismanagement of schedules, both in Korea and internationally, a perceived lack of social media engagement, and the company’s handling of stalker fan situations.
