The Coronavirus pandemic is not enough to prevent GOT7 from staging their comeback showcase for their new album DYE and they created a perfect solution for fans to join them without endangering their health and safety.
However, instead of staging the comeback in front of the fans, GOT7 became more creative by holding a DYE Live Premier broadcast to say hello to the fans instead of the typical stage comeback, Koreaboo reported.
Before the show began, host Go Young Bae said that fans are not allowed to attend the show due to social distancing guidelines.
However, instead of their physical presence, GOT7 did something special for the fans by making them feel part of the showcase. As the camera panned, it showed the seats labeled with names of actual Aghases. They even called out their names to "interact" with them.
The move was a big hit for Aghases who did not miss the shoutout from their favorite Kpop idols. They said that their hearts collectively melted at the thoughtful gesture by GOT7 members. They said they felt the love from GOT7 by their inclusion in the showcase.
Some fans enjoyed GOT7's hilarious interactions with their virtual versions as JB, Mark, Jackson, Jinyoung, Yugyeom, Youngjae, and Bambam showed off their goofy side during the showcase.
It can be recalled that before making the comeback, GOT7 members expressed nervousness at the new concept they would explore with their new album.
In an interview, members said that members were constantly worried about whether fans would like it. The teaser showcased members adopting a Shakespeare-like vibe for their title track Not by The Moon, which is also a line from the playwright's Romeo and Juliet.
The song was produced by JYP founder and CEO Jin Young Park, adding even more pressure for the group to do well, a report from Soompi indicated.
"We didn't want the time our fans spent waiting for us to have been a waste, so we poured all of our sincerity into making the [mini album. We especially tried a lot of new things and took on new challenges to show a new side of ourselves. This album and our concept for this comeback are a different style from everything GOT7 has done up until now. I think we've prepared a great song," GOT7 members confided.
GOT7 released their new mini-album DYE on April 20 and received a positive response from their Aghase fandom.
