Previously, GOT7 have announced their planned return date for the new year, their first in nearly three years. We can expect new music on January 20th!
🌴 For now, we are only prepared for the actual return. Performance-wise, we are still working hard, but nothing has been decided yet. Ah, guys, please look forward to January 20th… I got permission from them to talk about it…

Now, GOT7 have released their first concept image ahead of their comeback, revealing all seven members in a moody group photo. The caption also confirms that the official return time is Monday, January 20 at 6pm (KST).

The Ahgases were in awe of the “dark” concept of the GOT7 members. They are thrilled with the new look.
Now why is Jinyoung the only one with a scar and among the others who had red eyes??? Oh, so it definitely has a dark plot…
WE LOVE COMEBACK TORIES, THEY ARE SO BACK 😭😭

Not all Ahgase are convinced that this “concept” is really GOT7’s concept for their comeback. They reminded others how the group had posted similar “construction” photos, but that had nothing to do with the title track, “NANANA.”
the way construction workers had nothing to do with Nanana 😭 https://t.co/7ATht5ENL3

Don’t believe a single damn thing about the concept coming out of these bitches’ mouths 😭 because last time they gave us teasers to the construction crew with mud in their faces and then danced in the MV under the flowered ceiling in the colored clouds pastels that sparkled with glitter and birds 😭😭 https://t.co/hEd4CdLKxi pic.twitter.com/FdVbiZ1bWO

However, some details also shocked Ahgases, who realized how thoughtful all members were in the decision-making process. For example, the concept photo was released on Thursday at 7pm (KST). “Thursday” is also a GOT7 song; obviously, “7” has a certain meaning.

dropping it on a Thursday is kinda stupid but I got 7 https://t.co/17iGpTQMkJ

But that’s not all. Some wondered if the return date was also set for January 20th.
Did GOT7 purposely choose January 20th for their next comeback because it’s the same date as their first album release? pic.twitter.com/4hqJzshruX

Ahgases noticed it too Jackson Wangthe brand of, TEAM WANGwas used at least for its and Jay Bthe style of.
Jackson shows off TEAM WANG’s design (maybe the other members too) for a GOT7 comeback concept that’s the sexiest yet 🫠❤️🔥@jaybnow_hr @marktuan @JacksonWang852 @teamwangdesign_ @JINYOUNG @ChoiArs_YJ @BamBam1A @yugyeom @GOT7 #GOT7 #IGOT7 #GOT7COMEBACK 🍓 pic.twitter.com/NNwOPLBFYM

From that damn company that won’t let Jackson mention or promote Team Wang in SK while getting a cut of its profits, to the point that the members tried to promote his music in the form of a joke with him freely wearing TWD for the comeback by GOT7 🥹 they’ve come this far 😭🫂💚 https://t.co/0LpBUvASuf

Ahgases also looked at the post’s tags, creating the group’s current account (the one created later JYP entertainment) tagged their original account. There was controversy recently over their old agency not giving them access to that account.
oh my god guys, everyone is tagging even the old GOT7 account 👀
We are taking back the count!!! @GOT7 pic.twitter.com/1hPOXcKo7E
— seven gems in life (@tuanxcoco) December 19, 2024
Is this a sign that they may have access to the account again? Only time will tell. One thing is for sure: GOT7 will be back on January 20th!
