Soon after, it was revealed that he had actually obtained the rights to GOT7’s unit names, and that he now officially shares ownership of them with the corresponding members. Given that such a move is unprecedented in the K-Pop industry, Ahgases couldn’t stop praising Jay B for all the hard work he put in to not only keeping GOT7 together, but to giving the group total creative freedom.
mad respect for GOT7’s leader, Lim Jaebeom, who managed to take legal actions to fight for the group’s rights.@jaybnow_hr, you’re a living legend.

Now, as of May 12, all seven members of GOT7 are officially the legal owners of the full trademark rights to the group!
This marks the beginning of a whole new era—not only for GOT7, but for the industry as a whole. As proud Ahgases are pointing out, GOT7 are the only group in K-Pop who have ever managed to do something like this, especially as a group coming from one of the powerful ‘Big 3’ companies.

“GOT7 is the first group to completely be free of JYPE Entertainment of all rights, trademarks, copyright and listings.”
I repeat GOT7 OWNS GOT7.

After not renewing their contact, GOT7 was able to sign individually in different companies, successfully doing their solo activities, was able to acquire all rights, trademarks, copyright and listings of GOT7 themselves. And now coming back as group.
NOW THAT’S A KING BEHAVIOR— kai 👷🏻♀️ (@yugsmark) May 18, 2022
And as if becoming a self-owned group wasn’t enough of an achievement, GOT7’s comeback is already proving to be a huge success. Not only have they warmed fans’ hearts with little references to beloved moments from the past, but they’re also doing really well in terms of sales without the need for a major entertainment company to back them.
I can’t even express how proud I am of got7, imagine being the first kpop group to leave their company together with the rights to their trademark secured, then have a comeback that’s already become their BESTSELLING album not even a week into preorders…that’s just insane
