Group GOT7‘s JAY B has proven his popularity in Thailand by successfully concluding his solo concert there.

JAY B successfully held his 2024-2025 solo concert ‘TAPE: RE LOAD’ at IMPACT ARENA in Bangkok, Thailand on the 11th and 12th. Over 20,000 people visited the concert over the two days, proving JAY B’s popularity.

‘TAPE: RE LOAD’, held in Seoul last month, has now captivated Thai fans. JAY B filled the large concert hall with the charm of a complete solo artist, showing off a variety of stages including the opening song ‘PRESENT’ by increasing the scale even further.

In addition, a special pop-up exhibition of JAY B titled ‘RE LOAD’ was held at the Siam Center near the concert hall. The exhibition that day received an enthusiastic response from fans as it consisted of various elements including behind-the-scenes photos from the album, a photo booth, a phone booth with voices, and photos of JAY B‘s cats.

Since this concert is JAY B’s first performance since the release of his first solo full-length album ‘Archive 1: [Road Runner]’, a variety of new song stages were presented. JAY B has composed a total of 11 new songs, including the double title tracks ‘Crash’ and ‘Cloud Nine’, which he wrote and composed himself, as part of his new repertoire. JAY B‘s fresh performance drew a favorable response.

In addition, JAY B proved his charm and skill with splendid live vocals and dances such as ‘B.TW’, ‘THE WAY WE ARE’, and ‘SWITCH IT UP’. He also showed his special love for his fans by personally singing the Thai song ‘I like you the most’ for his local fans. The audience continued special two-way communication while preparing a surprise birthday celebration event for JAY B.

Major foreign media outlets also spotlighted JAY B’s visit to Thailand. A total of 150 media outlets, including Vogue, Harper‘s Bazaar, and L’Officiel, attended the pop-up exhibition conference alone. The foreign media further increased the buzz by vividly reporting on JAY B‘s fan events and spectacular performances.

JAY B, who successfully released his first full-length album ‘Archive 1: [Road Runner]’ late last year, is actively communicating with global fans. Recently, he has been a hot topic for holding a live broadcast to celebrate his birthday.

GOT7, which JAY B is a part of, will make a comeback on the 20th with the release of their new mini album ‘WINTER HEPTAGON’.
