GOT7, who came back as 7 people after 7 months, telling about
"MOMENT OF MY LIFE JACKPOT"
In a blink of an eye, 4 years passed since GOT7's debut. After 7 months they came back with new album "7 for 7". All members participated in composing songs for this album which made it even more meaningful. It's about GOT7, 7 men with a jackpot-like good mood of getting better every single day.
PART ONE
JAEBEOM
All members worked on this album. Considering that fact seem like your attitude towards these promotions is different.

The burden was huge. Since in addition the song written and composed by me became a title song, I came to the state of mind that I need to practice and prepare everything even more diligently. Thanks to that burden I was quite nervous and put in everything even more efforts than I have ever done before.

Title song was written and composed by you, What are your thoughts about it?

I still don't believe it. Originally the song I made with the thought of it as of title was different one. When unexpected song became a title all I thought of was "Why?" (laughs) Rather than the fact that my song became a title, compliments towards it from the people around me made me happier.

"Do as your heart wish"
I heard that album's keyword is "anxiety". How does JB overcome anxious situations?

I face the fact of being anxious. Mostly anxiety arises when I have certain deadline. I don't feel anxious on usual days, but, for example, if I was said that album should be released in 23 days, I would feel anxious during those 23 days of waiting. Like that, when said time comes, I will close my eyes tightly and face the challenge.

You are spending your youth now. Can you express how you are feeling right now in 7 characters?

Do as your heart wishes. Even though I don't spend my youth in that way, you better try to spend it doing many things you want to do. While having work whenever you have time to rest in between you need to spend it doing what you want to do.

In a blink of an eye, you spent quite a long time with members but as a leader is there something you want to wish for them?

Even though we are mature enough right now I hope we would become even more matured and skillful. No matter how you look at it 4 years didn't pass by for nothing so all of us grow up in our own way. But even like that I do think that upgrade would be a good thing.

As you go through these promotions what kind of image do you want to show the most?

I just hope we would be able to finish it nicely. Since I will still make music in the future I want to show people that they can anticipate next (songs). As for team, even though it's quite obvious, I hope that GOT7 would become more well-known as a group which is "good in building and conveying its color".
PART TWO
JACKSON

All members worked on this album. Considering that fact seem like your attitude towards these promotions is different.

I'm proud. Because it's an album made by members. Even though it's seventh album of GOT7, no matter how you look at it, I think it's our first album. Because it's the first album made only by us. No matter if it gets bad or good response since it's album we wanted to make - the meaning of it is big.

What was the thing that you paid the most attention while preparing this album?

Concept and the stories we wanted to tell. We thought the most about worries we have at our age and things like that. Since your place (in this world) isn't clear at this age, in the midst of uncertainty you are worrying a lot how to become better in future.
what is your life jackpot?
Always be hungry at what you love to do
On my way of working hard
No regrets
I heard that album's keyword is "anxiety". How does Jackson overcome anxious situations?

First of all I am looking for solution. Furthermore, I think it can be prevented. If you are certain about what is the most important and what you want to do in your life right now. No matter what it is, the most important point is to do it happily and having fun.

After having solo promotions you are doing promotions with members. What is the difference between solo and group promotions?

Through group promotions you can show colors of seven people, through solo promotions I can show only my color. When you are promoting as a group it's not easy to show your individual color. Through solo promotions I was able to show the sides of me I couldn't demonstrate during all that time. There are both advantages and disadvantages. Advantage is that I can clearly show the things about me. And the disadvantage is that members aren't by my side.

Jackson is always someone filled with lively energy. What is the driving force behind this energy?

A lot of people think of me as of a person who is energetic and delighted 24 hours a day. Of course, I'm like that during happy and pleasant time, but when I need to be serious - I'm serious, when I'm resting - I'm relaxed. Because we only live once I want to do it happily and joyfully.

As you go through these promotions what kind of image do you want to show the most?

The 7 of us made this album. I want to show off that "we are of this standard". I want to show the side of us which can do well and take care of everything on our own.
PART THREE
JINYOUNG
All members worked on this album. Considering that fact seem like your attitude towards these promotions is different.

It became even more meaningful since the song written by member was chosen as a title. Previous albums were continuation of one story but with the new album I feel like it's also new start. We finished JJ Project's promotions and gathered as GOT7 after a while so it seemed like a new start for us and the feeling was different.

As you finished JJ Project's promotion you immediately started another ones as a whole group. How does it feel to promote as 7 people after a while?

Since we had several schedules as GOT7 here and there we did gathered altogether so there weren't awkwardness. When we were promoting as JJ Project I thought that I want to stand on the stage as GOT7 faster, thus I was happy to meet members, also this album seems to be well-made so I have no regrets.

what is your life jackpot?
It hasn't come yet
I'm curious what did you think about while making "Firework" - your self-written and self-composed song included in this album.

I wanted to give a feeling of hope. I used firework explosion (to describe) a feeling (through which I wanted to convey a hope) - "If we work hard one day we will blossom beautifully like that". The keyword is "anxiety" and if I wrote about what other people should do when they feel anxious, I wanted to make music that may comfort others saying that their anxiety "is alright".

I heard that album's keyword is "anxiety". How does Jinyoung overcome anxious situations?

I am sleeping or waiting when it passes by. (laughs) If you are in an anxious state and nothing seems like getting better the only thing you hope for is for it to pass by safely, right. Before when I was anxious I was a type that sink into that feeling, in hindsight I realized that it was useless. So after that I just waited silently thinking "this one, as well, will pass".

Being on your 4th year, GOT7 is still constantly growing up. What is the driving force behind it?

We still haven't accomplished our goal so seems like we are hungry. We also have confidence that says "We want to do more. We can do more". We are trying out best thinking that we want to get better and we must go further.

As you go through these promotions what kind of image do you want to show the most?

Even though we still need help and accompany I want to imprint (on members mind) that we are capable of making albums on our own. This time starting from the title song, choreography, videos and other stuff (we made on our own) and each of us also composed songs. I hope that those things will be known better. And I also hope that even more people would get to know GOT7 comparing to what we have now.
PART FOUR
BAMBAM

All members worked on this album. Considering that fact seem like your attitude towards these promotions is different.

(Since all members participated in work) This album is even more meaningful comparing to other albums. As of that because we paid a lot more attention we were even more proud and during promotions we were more excited and had more fun.

Bambam participated a lot in lyrics writing and composing for this album. Were there difficulties during composing? Where do you find inspiration for lyrics?

Regarding composing, I usually had to work till the late night so I had a lack of sleep. And as for lyrics - it's both imagination and experience. And I also find a lot of inspiration whenever I watch movies.

Skydiving
Since all members participated in this album the clear affection is visible. What do you want to try for next album?

Just like this album we should make next album by ourselves, too. We still not sure about concept we should come up with but I hope it would be even better album than this one.

I heard that album's keyword is "anxiety". How does Bambam overcome anxious situations?

I'm sleeping. (laughs) If you sleep you can forget everything so your body and mind may find comfort. No matter how you look at it sleep is the best help.

Bambam is also well-know for the fancy fashion style. What is the style you enjoy the most recently?

Recently it is vice versa - rather than fancy things I started liking comfortable clothes more. Instead of shoes I'm wearing slippers a lot. (laughs)

As you go through these promotions what kind of image do you want to show the most?

I hope when people look at me they would think: "Woah, Bambam has this side, too".
PART FIVE
MARK
All members worked on this album. Considering that fact seem like your attitude towards these promotions is different.

It's the first time when song composed by member became a title song. That's why this album is more meaningful and we paid even more attention while preparing it.

New album is getting a huge positive response. Can you briefly introduce it and give your thoughts about it.

This album's name is "7 for 7" and 7 of us made comeback after 7 months, also it's our 7th mini album. There are even 7 songs included. That's why number "7" is emphasized a lot there.

What was the most memorable thing while you were preparing this album?

Right till MV shooting started we didn't have choreography, moreover, choreography was changed around 6 times so it was the most memorable thing. I will also remember how I did diving while shooting MV.

I heard that album's keyword is "anxiety". How does Mark overcome anxious situations?

I mostly try not to think about anxious situations. Because the more you think about it the more you care and uneasy about it.

In no time you have already became 4 year-old idol group. In what direction do you hope GOT7 would get better in the future?

I want us to superior in a sense of popularity. I hope even more people would know about GOT7.

As you go through these promotions what kind of image do you want to show the most?

I'd like if people enjoyed listening to our song and we received a chance for more people to get to know a group called GOT7. I hope they would listen to these songs and became curious how our next ones would come out..
PART SIX
YOUNGJAE

All members worked on this album. Considering that fact seem like your attitude towards these promotions is different.

First of all, I was glad that the song, which was written and composed by member, became a title. I think members know each other better (than anyone else). That's why during part distribution each person received the one which matches him the most. It was the first time we worked that way and I hope we would be able to show more of our musical side in future.

This album received especially good respond both inside and outside the country. All songs must be loved by you but is there one that you like the most in this album?

During all that time in order to "taste" our songs you had to listen to it while watching performances rather than just listening to them. Simple listening comparing to watching performances had rather dull feeling. I listen to this title song - "You Are" - while resting and exercising. It's good to the extent that simple listening leaves a pleasant feeling.
what is your life jackpot?
For me every moment is jackpot
In future, too, I will get even bigger jackpot
I will make it real. As Youngjae, who is good at singing.
It feels a little more stable and solid this time round. Were there any differences between preparation of this album and previous ones?

For me personally it's more about thoughts like "we should cherish our words more" and "we should grow up more" rather than differences. I'm the type who can sometimes be straightforward in expressions; I can speak nicely but there were a lot of occasions when I couldn't. That's why recently in order to change the way I talk I am reading a lot of books and also writing a diary. I write down reflections of the day. (laughs) I also practice a lot from the musical side and I think I should work harder in future. It's kind of - since I'm doing something properly I want to hear others saying I did well.

I heard that album's keyword is "anxiety". How does Youngjae overcome anxious situations?

Should I call it simulation? For example, when I go up on stage I feel nervous and anxious. When I am going up I think of what kind of people are there up till imagining what kind of face expression they have. But even with that, I am still trembling and feeling anxious so I practice more beforehand and do a lot of preparations.

Since you are a main vocal, is there a unique habit that only Youngjae has in order to maintain your throat (condition)?

In fact my throat isn't the type that goes off easily so rather than having specific habits I just drink a lot of water. When the weather gets holder I naturally think that I should put on muffler.

As you go through these promotions what kind of image do you want to show the most?

Now I hope that we would be more well-known with our songs rather than performances. So people would say "Woah, idols GOT7 are also making songs" and "They indeed are good in song-making". For me personally, I'd like if people were left with the image of singing Youngjae,
PART SEVEN
YUGYEOM
All members worked on this album. Considering that fact seem like your attitude towards these promotions is different.

The results are important and I have some regrets but (mostly) I'm satisfied and we really did our best. We were serious before, too, but (now) we are serious during performances and our stance also became much more serious.

Title song's choreography catches attention from the first chords. Can you point out the main features of this choreography?

This choreography kinda gives feelings of flying in the sky. If you look at the lyrics of title song there are "Beautiful sky" ones. It's not "fierce" choreography like it was in Hard Carry but there are a lot of moves when you really need to control your body so it's choreography with different feeling. Also there are a lot of moves when we look at the sky.

what is your life jackpot?
NOT YET
I heard that album's keyword is "anxiety". How does Yugyeom overcome anxious situations?

Mostly I try my best to avoid anxiety in the first place. Particularly, I try not to regret about something that has already passed. I think we shouldn't regret because this is something that has already gone.

Your new hair color is impressing. What made you decide to change style?

I always had same hair style. So I said if there is no chance to change the hair style let's at least change a color. It's really tiresome cause when it comes to pastel colors you need to dye your hair often, right? I like yellow color and also if you bleach your hair the color coming out immediately is yellow. That's why you can avoid extra dying so I used this opportunity. (laughs) With that I decided to make a little more yellow mustard color.

You stay together for a long time but when you need to compromise with members' opinion, what do you usually do?

We have a lot of unconditional conversations. Now we admit what we should admit. That's why we left a lot of arguments in the past. Because we respect each other.

As you go through these promotions what kind of image do you want to show the most?

As a team - anticipation of next album. I want to hear conversations like "how would next album come out" and "this group is always fresh and curious". If about me personally I want people to say that I'm always suave on the stage.
