GOT7 are finally returning with music next year.
In late November 2024, it was reported by South Korean media that the K-pop boy group is set to make their long-awaited comeback in January 2025, with the members — Jay B, Mark, Jackson, Jinyoung, Youngjae, BamBam, and Yugyeom — supposedly in the process of recording a new album.
On December 7, leader Jay B confirmed the news at his solo concert in Seoul, with BamBam confirming the announcement via social media that they are set to hold the comeback on January 20, 2025 (Monday). This will mark GOT7’s first comeback as a whole group in nearly three years, following their self-titled EP, which was released last May 2022.
Prior to their complete return next year, all members of the group had been focusing on their solo activities, coming out with new releases of their own.
Jay B, following his official discharge from his work as public service worker (an alternative to South Korea’s mandatory military service) last November 1, 2024, released his debut solo album Archive 1: [Road Runner] on November 27, 2024. Mark came out with his first EP Fallin’ last October 2023 and collaborated with Natty and Julie of KISS OF LIFE for the single “SUPERPOWER” for the popular competitive video game Valorant. Jackson released a single with singer BIBI called “Feeling Lucky” last April 2024 as well as a track entitled “henny” in collaboration with cognac brand Hennessy last May 2024.
Meanwhile, Jinyoung provided the song entitled “Shining on Your Night” for the K-drama Yumi’s Cells in June 2022, and would go on to release his debut solo EP Chapter 0: WITH in January 2023. Youngjae released his first solo album Do It on November 6, 2023 and made his most recent comeback with the single “T.P.O” last July 2024. BamBam came out with his debut solo album Sour & Sweet on March 28, 2023 and released an EP entitled BAMESIS just last August 2024. Lastly, Yugyeom released his first solo album, entitled TRUST ME, last February 2024.
