GOT7

Got7 are a South Korean boy band, known for their upbeat hip hop and R&B inspired K-pop, and their crowd-pleasing dance skills. One of the most decorated bands in Korean music, they have won dozens of awards including four Asia Artist Awards, three Seoul Music Awards, and seven Mnet Asian Music Awards. Beyond their music, the group have starred in the web-based fantasy romance series Dream Knight, and have been the focus of several reality series including Real Got7, Got7ing and Got7’s Hard Carry.

Got7 were formed by entertainment label JYP Entertainment, with the seven members introduced to the public in 2014: Taiwanese-American Mark, Hong Kong Chinese Jackson, Thai BamBam, and South Korean Jinyoung, JB, Youngjae and Yugyeom. The group launched with a distinctive hip hop sound, break-dancing and martial arts-inspired choreography, and released debut EP Got It? that year. The record hit No. 1 on the Billboard World Albums Chart and No. 2 on South Korea’s Gaon Album Chart, immediately propelling the group to global superstardom. In 2015, they won the New Artist Award at both the Seoul Music Awards and the Golden Disc Awards.

Among Got7’s successful follow-up records are the platinum certified global hit EP Eyes on You, and 2019’s Call My Name. While continuing to release music aimed at the Korean market, Got7 have also signed with Sony Music Entertainment Japan and their first Japanese-language single Around the World hit the Top 3 of the Oricon Singles Chart. They followed this success with the full-length Japanese album Moriagatteyo, which included original tracks as well as covers of some of their best-loved Korean hits. In total, 11 of their albums and EPs have hit No. 1 in the Korean charts, and several have reached the Top 10 in Japan, New Zealand, and the US World charts.
