GOT7: A top-class boy group like no other and their Legacy

"Seven or never," "seven or nothing," since GOT7 is reportedly coming back in a few weeks, let's take a little look back at this legendary K-Pop idol group who forged paths and conquered the world with their world-class, multifaceted talents — and will continue to do so in the future. After over years of spending time together in the industry, GOT7 is still here, even after ending their contracts with JYP Entertainment.Despite the fact that the members are managed by different agencies, GOT7 has not disbanded and continues to work together to create one-of-a-kind music for fans. Finally, the time has come for them to fly freely with their creativity, embark on a new artistic journey, and showcase long-term growth in the industry. When GOT7 returns to the scene, they not only sweep Ahgases' (GOT7's fandom name) hearts but also the global charts. 

On January 16 of 2014, GOT7 made their official debut and immediately piqued everyone's attention with their debut single, "Girls Girls Girls," kicking off their journey and taking the K-Pop world by storm. GOT7, comprising BamBam, Jackson, Jay B, Jinyoung, Mark, Youngjae, and Yugyeom — who are all all-rounders with a world-class level of talents, has been able to top charts all over the world since the beginning of their career. 'Got It?,' their first mini-album, which was released on January 20, 2014, shot to No. 1 on Billboard's World Albums Chart, marking the first power move by the group as they became the first K-Pop group to have their debut album at #1 on the chart. GOT7 also made history by becoming the first K-Pop group to ever enter Billboard's 'Artist 100' chart. With hundreds of millions of views for their music videos, millions of albums sold, and sold-out concerts, the seven-piece group already holds a slew of all-time records under their name. Looking back on what they have accomplished, I'm sure those who have followed them ever since the group's career began, especially Ahgases, are extremely proud of how far they have come. 

The seven-piece band, who captivated us at first sight, created their own music color that all of us could identify in the first few listens. When it comes to vocal prowess, the members have their own distinct styles that would blend well together whenever they record a track, proving how uniquely their voices mesh together and why they truly are destined to be in GOT7. One of the main reasons the group stands out in the industry is the members' beautiful singing voices. GOT7 is loved by many for a variety of reasons, one of which is their diverse discography. Listeners will be thoroughly impressed by how diverse the group's music is. Everyone who knows their title tracks should also listen to their B-side tracks, from their debut album to their most recently released album, because there is still a lot to discover. They do it differently, they do it like GOT7. The septet will provide you with music in a variety of styles that will please your ears.

Listening to GOT7's flawless discography is an all-encompassing experience. Each song is timeless, and you can hear and feel how they have grown through their music. The electronic dance track with a groovy beat, "Stop Stop It," the pop melody track "Just Right," which you may have already heard of, or perhaps the song that got you into K-Pop, the super catchy and hard-sounding song "Hard Carry," the R&B flavored dance-pop track "If You Do" that will make you sing the line "Niga hamyeon da manneun mari dwae," the track "Not By The Moon" that makes you dance to the beat, the track "Last Piece" to bless your ears, the group's soul-soothing track "Encore," I'm sure if you were asked to rank your favorite songs by GOT7, it would be difficult to place any of their songs at the bottom. From hard-hitting sounds to ballads that pull at your heartstrings, GOT7's discography is diverse enough that you're bound to find at least one song that appeals to your musical tastes.

GOT7 members are deserving of praise for their abilities not only in singing and rapping but also in dancing, as evidenced by their synchronized movements and impressive dance skills. GOT7 members are top performers with strong stage presence and stage control who always deliver high-class, out-of-this-world performances to the audience, in addition to their stable vocals and top-notch performance level, not to mention the level of aura they exude every time they step onto the stage. There have been far too many iconic and jaw-dropping performances by the group for us to count. Songwriting and producing abilities? GOT7 is also in possession of it. All members have already contributed to some of their previously released songs. Aside from their pure talents, the members have breathtaking visuals that will make you even fall in love more with the group. You name it, they have it. From the bottom of the industry to the top, GOT7 has now cemented their legacy and built their own trademark as a full-fledged group. Every member has proven to be an ace. GOT7 is undeniably one of the industry's true gems, releasing beautifully penned lyrics and timeless music.

We're only halfway through 2022, but Ahgases are already being spoon-fed a lot of content by all of the members. GOT7 kicked off 2022 with a bang, as most members returned with new solo material; BamBam with his second mini-album 'B,' his very first Korean-language OST "Melting," and his new single "Wheels Up" featuring Oakland-based artist Mayzin in collaboration with Golden State Warriors. Mark Tuan's soul-soothing tracks "My Life," "Lonely," and "Save Me." Jay B's six-track extended play titled 'Love,' released under his moniker Def., his collaboration single "Hello 2.0 (Legends Only)" with James Reid and Transparent Arts, and his OST "Dive into you." Jackson Wang's self-titled single "王嘉尔," his eight-track English-language mixtape 'LOST & FOUND,' and his latest English single "Blow." Yugyeom's collaboration single "Take You Down" with Coogie and his newest track "Lights." Though Jinyoung and Youngjae did not release any solo music this year yet, Jinyoung continues to pursue his acting career while Youngjae has been recently chosen as the new DJ for MBC FM4U's radio program "Close Friend." All of this led to great success for each member, as their solo releases topped various charts all over the world. What kind of success could GOT7 have after releasing their long-awaited full-group album? The phenomenal boy band would once again shake up the industry by returning to the stage and putting themselves in the spotlight.

GOT7 has embarked on their long journey and will continue to leave a legacy in the K-Pop industry. The septet was instrumental in bringing K-Pop to the forefront. GOT7 has a legacy of their very own — a legacy they wrote. Everyone has their eyes on GOT7, who will make their sensational, grand return with their highly-anticipated full-group comeback this month. We are all excited about their new music because we know GOT7 never disappoints. We can't wait to hear what GOT7 has in store for us with their new song, because the music of the beloved boyband is what keeps us coming back after all these years. Just quality and diversity. 2022 is GOT7's year, and we're all here for it.
