GOT7
GOT7 (갓세븐) is a Korean pop boy group under JYP Entertainment. They are a multinational group with 4 Korean members, 1 Thai member, 1 Chinese member and 1 Taiwanese-American member.
GOT7 debuted in January 2014 with the release of their first mini-album Got it?, which peaked at number two on the Gaon Album Chart and number one on Billboard's World Albums Chart. The group gained attention for their stage performances, which include elements of martial arts tricking.
In late 2014, GOT77 signed with Sony Music Entertainment Japan and ventured into the Japanese market to release their debut Japanese-language single "Around the World". They returned to South Korea a month later to release their first full-length studio album Identify, topping the nation's charts. In 2015, they released the mini-albums JUST RIGHT and MAD, which yielded their most commercially successful single, "Ttag Joha (Just right)". In 2016, they released their first full-length Japanese studio album, Mori↑Gatteyo, debuting at #3 on the Oricon Albums Chart. They then went on to release their fifth Korean mini-album FLIGHT LOG: DEPARTURE and their second full-length studio album FLIGHT LOG: TURBULENCE, both chart-toppers. In 2017, GOT7 released their sixth mini-album FLIGHT LOG: ARRIVAL, featuring the single "Never Ever". The album is the third and final part of the group's "Flight Log" series, and became their highest selling album with more than 300,000 copies sold.
Their second Japanese mini-album TURN UP is released this week on November 15th.
