GOT7 leader Jay B first teased their upcoming return at his ‘Tape: Reload’ concert earlier this month, which was also attended by several members of the group. It will be the boyband’s first group release since dropping their self-titled mini-album in May 2022, their first record since leaving longtime agency JYP Entertainment.
Comprising members Jay B, Jinyoung, Jackson Wang, Mark Tuan, BamBam, Youngjae and Yugyeom, GOT7 first debuted in January 2014 with their first mini-album ‘Got It?’. The group went on to release hits like ‘Just Right’, ‘If You Do’ and more. They left JYP Entertainment in 2021, following the expiration of their contracts with the agency.
In other K-pop news, HYBE label ADOR has issued a statement urging the members of girl group NewJeans to continue using their official social media accounts with the agency due to potential legal issues with advertisers. The five-member act launched an independent Instagram account earlier this week amid their contract dispute with the agency.
