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.
