BIOGRAPHY

Got7 (Korean: 갓세븐) is a South Korean boy band from Seoul that debuted in January 2014 with the EP Got It?, released on 20 January. The group worked under JYP Entertainment until 2021 and has operated independently since, with a partnership through Kakao Entertainment.

The seven members are Mark, Jay B, Jackson, Jinyoung, Youngjae, BamBam and Yugyeom. Choi Young-jae, who performs as Youngjae, also works as an actor and holds a profile of his own in this catalogue.

The group reformed in 2022 after the members left their original label and continues to release together alongside individual projects.

Got7 toured heavily through their JYP Entertainment years, with the Fly tour in 2016, Eyes on You in 2018 and Keep Spinning in 2019, which took them to twelve countries and brought the first Today show performance by a K-pop group. In Japan they recorded for Sony Music Entertainment Japan from late 2014. The members left JYP Entertainment in January 2021 and kept the group name and music rights, releasing the EP Got7 in May 2022 while pursuing solo careers at different labels. A reunion album, Winter Heptagon, arrived on 20 January 2025, followed by Nestfest shows in Seoul and at Rajamangala Stadium in Bangkok, where 85,000 tickets sold on the first day.
