This year has been monumental for GOT7 fans, as members have actively pursued solo projects. BamBam made a successful solo comeback earlier in the year, and GOT7’s leader, JAY B, is gearing up to release his first full-length solo album, Archive 1: [Road Runner]. After completing his own military service, JAY B has launched into the "second act" of his music career, solidifying GOT7’s influence as both a group and individual artists.
As GOT7 regroups, fans worldwide are thrilled to see what the future holds for the group and its members, who continue to thrive as soloists and as a team.
