What is the status of GOT7 JB's group?
All members of GOT7 departed from JYP Entertainment in January, and each of them signed up with agencies that aligned with their solo career vision. However, the band did not disband like the others that went through contract renewal.
"GOT7 will continue, and nothing has changed," said one of the GOT7 members Jackson Wang to Harper's Bazaar. Fans were extremely worried, but Jackson, who moved to the US following his departure from JYP Entertainment, confirmed that he and the other members of the band are together for the foreseeable future.
He said, "Before I had to do solo activities, team activities, and company management in 24 hours, but now, I just have a bit more leeway."
Jackson was also excited that he would finally be able to release a solo album in Korea. This was something that he had been unable to do while he was with JYP Entertainment. He said, "Finally, I’ll release an album in Korea this year. I want to do it well. It was in Korea that I started my career as a singer."
Which agency did GOT7 JB's bandmates join?
Jinyoung joined BH Entertainment, where the star will pursue his interest in acting and singing. He plays the role of Ga-on in The Devil Judge that is on air at the moment. On July 22, it was also revealed that he was cast in Yumi's Cells.
Rapper BamBam joined the Abyss Company. Youngjae, who is the youngest member of the band, is pursuing his solo interests with Sublime Artist Agency.
