The group GOT7 has completed a solid nest with their solo concert.

GOT7 (JAY B, Mark, Jackson, Park Jin-young, Youngjae, BamBam, Yugyeom) successfully held their 2025 solo concert [NESTFEST] at the Seoul Olympic Park Handball Stadium for three days on the 31st of last month and the 1st and 2nd of this month. The two-day weekend performance was live streamed online through Beyond Live, giving global fans thrills and emotions that transcended time and space.

GOT7, who returned with a full group solo concert after six years, explained the meaning of the concert from the opening VCR where everyone gathered from their respective seats. They continued with welcome hit songs such as ‘Hard Carry’, ‘Girls Girls Girls’, ‘Don‘t Stop It’, ‘A’, ‘Just Right’, drawing enthusiastic cheers from AGASE (official fandom name). The spectrum that encompassed both hip swagger and cute concepts also stood out.

GOT7, who began their greeting with the words, “It’s been a while,” said, “We were so excited when we were just the members, but we’re even happier because we can see the green well on stage. Thanks to you, the seven of us can be together now,” and added, “We all put together the setlist ourselves. We mixed together songs that the fans wanted to see and songs that will take you on a trip down memory lane, so please enjoy it.”

The atmosphere changed, and GOT7 showed off their mature charms with new songs, ‘her’ and ‘OUT THE DOOR’ from their recently released mini album, following ‘Playground’. Also, the quintessence of GOT7’s live performance could be seen in the next chapter where they selected ‘THURSDAY’ and ‘Breath (너 내 속숨해)’. All seven members used hand microphones, and GOT7’s signature skills and teamwork shone through scenes where they freely moved around the main stage, protrusions, and lifts.

Next, the seven-member, seven-color solo stages that seemed to symbolize the colorful stories of the seven stars GOT7 captured attention. Beginning with Mark‘s ‘Carry Me Out’, Jinyoung’s ‘Letter’, Jackson‘s ‘I Love You 3000’, JAY B’s ‘Cloud nine’, Yugyeom‘s ‘Light’, Youngjae’s ‘Vibin’‘, and BamBam‘s ’riBBon‘ each confirmed not only their own main genres and individualities, but also the identity of the entire GOT7 team.

The members praised each other’s performances, saying, “It was super sexy,” “It was sweet,” and “He‘s so handsome,” creating a warm atmosphere. Also, they personally revealed the meaningful reason for choosing the song, saying, “We wanted to show our solo stage in Korea as well.”

GOT7, who returned to the stage as a full group, heated up the atmosphere with ’If You Do‘ and their latest title song ’PYTHON‘. GOT7, who filled the gaps between encores with handwritten letters and practice sketch videos, formed an encore session that was unprecedented with the fan song ’What We Can Say.‘. GOT7’s ad-lib stage that lasted nearly 30 minutes created a true festival. The fans held slogans that said, “A warm winter when we were together. We will remember our winter” and sang ’Thank you‘ together, engaging in two-way communication.

At the end of the performance, Yugyeom said, “I feel like I went back to the old days because I am with the members, so I was happy preparing for this comeback and concert. I think of the seven of us as a family, so nothing will change in the future. As long as there are Agase, there is GOT7.” Mark said, “As time passes quickly, each member is working hard, but we were able to reunite out of loyalty because we thought of the fans who waited for us. I want to continue to gather in the future.” Youngjae said, “The members had the same intentions for the full group activities. I’m grateful to leader JAY B and Agase for coming today. I can promise you that it will last forever.” Jackson said, “The seven of us are the most innocent people,” and added, “I hope we can give Agase even a little bit of happiness. GOT7 is our beginning. Please don’t forget.” BamBam said, “I was really happy today because I’ve been waiting for the concert so long. I’m so happy that the fans love seeing us having fun. I’m grateful that you gave GOT7 so much confidence through this comeback. We trust you who have returned to the nest, and we will definitely return,” Jinyoung said. “When I saw the fans who filled the concert hall, I thought that this was the place I would return to. In fact, a full group comeback is too easy for GOT7. We gathered our hearts, and I am grateful to our leader JAY B who worked hard for us,” he said. “While serving in the military, I realized that what I gained in my 20s was GOT7 friends. I look forward to the next 10 years. Let’s see each other for a long time,” he expressed his affection.

Lastly, JAY B said, “The message we wanted to convey through our fan song was that we will definitely return,” and “Thanks to you all waiting, GOT7 was able to present a new song as a gift. I felt welcomed while doing various activities. Because of that, I didn’t even think that preparing for the comeback and concert was hard. I am grateful to the fans who know that we are doing our best.” The members responded to JAY B‘s heartfelt tears by putting their arms around him, which was touching.

GOT7 successfully released their new mini-album ’WINTER HEPTAGON‘ on the 20th of last month. All nine songs, which all seven members participated in writing, composing, and producing, are receiving rave reviews and love from global music fans. GOT7 then sold out all tickets for their solo concert, proving their unwavering presence and endless growth once again.

Celebrating their 11th debut anniversary, GOT7, a global, long-running K-POP boy group, plans to continue their active music, performances, and broadcast activities ’Apart but Together‘.
