Lack of domestic schedules

As per fans, GOT7’s pre-album release promotions were not enough for Korean fans. The group had interviews and shows which reached out to international fans but not for Korean fans. Fans accused JYP of blocking GOT7’s domestic itinerary, especially during the last promotional activities around Not By The Moon.

Lacking social media presence

As per fans, there have been almost zero promotional activities for GOT7 on social media. GOT7 is under Division two in JYP and the fans have accused the department of lacking a presence on social media for GOT7. Generally, companies promote the albums through paid ads on YouTube or other social media platforms.

Ignoring international invites

GOT7 fans have accused JYP of not responding to invites from American shows which included an appearance on Good Day New York. The band’s representative has been difficult to reach as per these American shows. Despite fans garnering attention on the invites through social media, JYP failed to send the band abroad, claim fans.  

No gateway to buy albums for international fans

As per fans, GOT7 is the only band whose albums are not available on international or American websites. Mostly, K-pop groups have international labels that take care of such stuff. Fans claim that GOT7 does not have any.

Altercations on self-composed songs

Fans believe that songs composed by JB, the leader of the group are mostly not approved by the CEO JYP or Park Jin Jinyoung. He is accused by fans of changing the meaning of songs. For instance, fans claim that popular song Eclipse’s line ‘stay with me as I am uneasy, I only have you’ was actually ‘leave your uneasiness to me’ as per fans.
