J.Y. Park Seemingly Shades GOT7 After JYPE Departure

J.Y. Park recently shared his sentiments about GOT7 after their JYPE departure in 2021. Interestingly Jinyoung Park opened up about his thoughts on the group’s potential and their time under the company. However, many viewed his comments as being negative towards the boy group.

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. Some fans also attributed certain issues to J.Y. Park, who played a role in the group’s formation and music production.

Luckily, BamBam recently provided some insight into their gatherings during the latest episode of his YouTube program “Bam House.” In a conversation with TXT’s Yeonjun, various topics were discussed, including their friendships with fellow idols.

The discussion turned to Yeonjun’s connections with other idols from the ’99-line,’ which includes Stray Kids’ Changbin, SEVENTEEN’s Dino, and Golden Child’s TAG. BamBam, intrigued by their interactions, asked Yeonjun about the nature of their meetings. He admitted that the 97-Liners typically don’t engage in deep conversations during their gatherings, preferring activities like bowling instead.

Yeonjun, on the other hand, shared that the ’99-line’ often delves into serious topics when they meet. This revelation surprised BamBam, who expressed his amazement by recounting that, when he was their age, the ’97-line’ wasn’t particularly focused on such weighty discussions.
