January 16th will mark the 8th year since GOT7 debuted with their iconic “Girls Girls Girls”.
In celebration, all of the members turned on their Instagram lives and had a nice chat with each other and their fans. Prior to this, leader JAY B has said on his radio that they will be doing a live concert of some sort to celebrate. However, it was very vague and there was no time indication as to when that is.
30 minutes before the clock struck 12 KST, it was announced in every IGOT7’s Instagram notifications that marktuan is going live now with jaybnow.hr and 333cyj333. The live show revealed JAY B and Jinyoung together whilst the maknaes, Bambam, Youngjae and Yugyeom gathered with Jackson on the phone. In Los Angeles, Mark is up at 7 AM.

The live consisted of the GOT7’s members’ messages to the fans as well as their own shenanigans that fans know and love.
they were all talking on top of each other and the audio was chaotic as usual so now they made a rule to raise your hand before speaking lol #GOT7_FOR8VER#갓세븐_8주년_우린우리대로간다 pic.twitter.com/77xdRv8muH

Not only that, GOT7 have vaguely hinted that there is music in the works as a group! There are no guarantees when that will be but the members want an album to be put out for the fans.
jb: i hope we can prepare for an album while having fun, while i can’t guarantee an exact time for when we will be able to do so, i want us to be able to meet you guys with a fun and great album, thank you#GOT7_FOR8VER#갓세븐_8주년_우린우리대로간다
