GOT7 Went Through a Lot Before Making a Comeback
On Monday, GOT7 held a press conference to promote their new self-titled EP.
All members shared their thoughts about their return, saying it feels like a dream to come back as a whole group. It is worth noting that K-pop groups tend to disband or lose members for good once they decide not to renew their contracts.
But things are different for them.
According to Mark, they have been preparing since last year. Now that they finally dropped the project, he expressed his excitement after finally meeting Ahgase again.

Jinyoung and Youngjae both mentioned their fans, saying that their return is their way to repay them for waiting for them.
BamBam and Yugyeom added that they are grateful that GOT7 remains as a seven-membered group despite leaving JYP Entertainment.
