She said, "Your first EP 'SOMO FUME' was so nice, so good. And I know your next EP is coming out, 'Be Yourself,' on Sept. 21. So I wanna know, what kind of music can we expect from you? What kind of style is on the album?"
GOT7 Jay B answered, "I wanted songs where I could show exciting and fun performances. So I prepared songs with a bright sound and unlike in 'SOMO FUME,' the songs are closer to urban and pop music."
Marah then gave a follow-up question, saying, "So you have a lot of collaborations in the first one. You have Jay Park, Wheein from MAMAMOO. So if you could ask any artist to be on your next EP or next album, who would you ask?"
After thinking for a while, GOT7 Jay B revealed that there are many artists he's been considering to collaborate with. But he ended up naming a JYP artist, particularly J.Y. Park.
"Since I already worked with Jay Park, wouldn't it be fun if I worked with J.Y Park this time around?" the male idol said.
