"If you want to do flips like me, you got to put more strength behind your swing alright? Make sure to throw your leg up as high as possible," said Mark while performing a demonstration.
Jaemin, Mark, BamBam, Jackson, Jinyoung, Jaebum and Yugyeom were having their first group meeting. The name of their group, was GET7. JYP wasn't present due to an urgent matter that came up, since he was actually supposed to be there.
Which, by the way, greatly confused him, wasn't the name of the group supposed to be GOT7? Why has it suddenly become GET7?
Was it his influence?
He didn't know, but he did know that he didn't like the name and so did the others.
They were currently talking with each other, getting to know everyone. Their manager had already left the room so that they could have a good conversation.
Mark and Jackson were also busy showing off their martial arts skills.
Jackson interrupted Mark, "But hyung, can you do this?" He performed his usual, go-to front flip that he performs almost everytime when he gets asked to show a talent.
Mark replied, "Anyone can do that."
Jackson said, "Oh yeah? Show-" Jaebum was apparently annoyed with them and spoke up, "Come on, let's focus everybody."
Jaemin laughed and said, "As the leader, isn't that my phrase, Jaebum-ah?"
"Why use informal language? I'm your hyung Minjae-ya, I was born in 1994, you in 1995," said Jaebum questionably
Jaemin grinned, "I'm your sunbae in both the company and the entertainment business and I am also the leader of this group, doesn't it seem fit to adress you as such to not get the hierarchy messed up? I need to have my fair share of power to control you all don't I?"
Jackson was as loud as always, "We are all friends here, let there be no hierarc- Wait, wait, wait, Bboy King, you are born in 1994?"
"Mhm, why?" Jaebum asked.
"Then why have I been calling you hyung? I am born in 1994 as well!"
Jaemin thought, "Oh no, the notorious 1994 line dispute between Jackson and Jaebum had already taken place even before they debuted..."
Jaebum stated, "I'm born in January, I am a fast born!"
Jackson replied, "What is a mere two months difference?"
"Well...."
"Let's just adress each other comfortably Jaebum.", said Jaemin
Jaebum nodded regretfully, "I'm fine with that, but that aside, what should we do about the name GET7? We don't like it."
Yugyeom finally said his firsts words after a short period of silence, "What about Axe7?"
"That's a deodorant company in America you fool." mocked BamBam.
"What about BFRIEND?", said Mark
Jaemin threw a comment, "Why copy GFRIEND like that."
"What do you mean, what is GFRIEND?" asked Jackson.
[ Oh damn, GFRIEND doesn't exist yet, euuuhhhhhh.... ], he thought
He just laughed it off, "Nevermind, nevermind, I don't like it though"
Eventually,
everybody disagreed.
....
....
....
Jinyoung suddenly broke the silence by suggesting, "I like the name GOT7, what do you all think?"
"Bingo! It also sounds similar to the original," said BamBam.
The rest also all liked the name, so Jaemin eventually said, "Let's convince JYP then."
All of them agreed and were on their way to the office.
And after about an hour long discussion, it was all set.
The name of their group would be GOT7.
The line-up and roles of the group was as follows:
Kim Min-jae(Jaemin): Leader, Main Vocal, Lead Dancer, Lead Rapper, Visual, Japanese/English Translator
Im Jae-bum(JB): Lead Vocal, Lead Dancer
Park Jin-young(Junior): Vocalist, Visual
Mark Tuan(Mark): Main Rapper, Lead Dancer, Vocalist, Visual, English Translator
Jackson Wang(Jackson): Lead Rapper, Lead Dancer, Chinese Translator
Kunpimook Bhuwakul(BamBam): Lead Rapper, Lead Dancer, Thai Translator
Kim Yugyeom(Yugyeom): Main Dancer, Lead Vocal
The role of visual could be heavily debated, weren't they all super handsome?
He exceeded the others by quite a margin, but they actually all had godlike appearances for normal Korean standards. They were definitely one of the top three boy groups with the best visuals, if not the best group.
GOT7 could be called a very special group.
Their choreo, was without a doubt, the hardest of all K-pop groups.
Mainly due to the fact that they use tons and tons of martial arts and gymnastics moves in their choreographies. And their routine is in general, just hard to do while also singing. Their intro was the most respectable out of their routines, Mark was literally pushed sideways while he did a backflip, eventually flying over two members to then somehow still land without slipping.
This was the biggest reason that made them so popular in the beginning. No other groups did anything like this.
Jackson and Mark were the one's who did all of the flips, but that was all in the past.
Jaemin was now also added into the mix.
If you take into account the hard choreo's, exceptional visual quality, originality and overall uniqueness of it.
You get GOT7
And that wasn't even all.
GOT7 was the exact definition of; "meme lords".
BamBam was constantly dabbing, Jackson was just a crazy, funny, sweet and pure nutjob, Yugyeom was the giant maknae, Mark the cute hyung, Jinyoung the handsome savage, JB the cool guy, and currently, Jaemin. The absolute lady-killer of the group, an extremely handsome badass.
If this was all added together...
Imagine the craziness that would present itself on variety shows and V-live streams.....
That aside, their debut.
It was coming soon, very soon.
January 2014, it was going to be crazy.
When JYP finally announces the members of the group, the world would go crazy.
Jaemin did not believe that GOT7 would be less popular than it was before, that would simply be impossible. His fame was already over the roof, while the others were also well known in the country, although not as much as him.
That was like saying that if seven hobo's made a group, that it would somehow get more popular than a group with actual talented performers.
Their debut song is still the same as before: Girls, Girls, Girls.
He hoped it would become a bop.
