GOT7's leader, JB, recently emphasized the real status of his group after all members left JYP Entertainment in January.
On Jan. 19, all seven members of K-pop boy group GOT7 have gone their own paths after they decided not to renew their exclusive contracts with JYP Entertainment. Their departure from the label was a bittersweet moment for the fans, who are also called Ahgase or IGOT7. Fans are glad that each member can reach their dreams and be successful as a solo artist, but are also saddened that they will not be able to see them together very often.
Following the group's contract expiration with JYPE, many fans and netizens wonder what GOT7's real status is. Even though it was not officially announced that they disbanded, the situation still seems to be that way since it will be hard for them to promote together while they are under different companies.
