GOT7’s JAY B spoke about the group’s significant contributions to JYP Entertainment in a new interview, highlighting how much they helped build the company and the revenue they generated during their time there.
“We probably built everything from the basement to the third floor, didn’t we?” he joked. He added “We generated more revenue than people might think. It’s a shame that this aspect of our contribution isn’t widely known.”
GOT7’s leader JAY B shared how proud he felt when JYP’s KickFlip wrote “We’re grateful that we’re able to promote like this thanks to our seniors” on their signed album for GOT7 during a recent exchange.
“It made me proud. I thought "So there are people who recognize and appreciate what we’ve done.’”

I don’t need a middle person or a filter standing between me and my fans.
Because from day one, it has always been about me and my fans.
I want to make sure my fans know as much as possible about who I am and what I am as a human being.
There shouldn’t be guessing.
There shouldn’t be assumptions.
Again,
I also believe this should apply to every artist and their fans.
That should be the closest connection.
They should know each other the best.
The strengths and the weaknesses.
The good and the bad.
Truth matters more than imagination.
That’s why I’m grateful to have you all.
I wouldn’t be able to create any of this without the opportunities and blessings you guys have given me.
This one is for you all.
The unpolished and true me.
Thank you for letting me be me.

Happy 30th birthday to the very handsome and extremely talented award-winning Singer, Songwriter, Composer, Musician, Producer, Radio DJ, Actor and K-Pop Global Icon, the One & Only Youngjae! 👏🎂🎉🎈🌟👑🐐💚
#Youngjae became famous as the Main vocalist of GOT7, one of the most successful K-Pop Groups of the Era! He's a light lyric tenor with a distinctive “color” that stands out even in group tracks. Youngjae trained for just seven months, debuted last, and still became the voice the group leans on for live high notes and emotional lines. He carries the hard vocal parts with JB, and is also a very talented songwriter and composer under the name of ARS, which he has used since 2016, taken from the Latin 'Ars longa, vita brevis' ("art is long, life is short”). That line is tattooed on his right upper arm. Youngjae is one of the warmest and most thoughtful souls, and on his other upper arm he has a yellow ribbon memorial tatoo for the victims of the 2014 Sewol ferry sinking, most of them Danwon High School students on a trip. On the fourth anniversary he covered “You, Who I Love,” a song by student Lee Da-woon, who wanted to become a singer-songwriter, but died in the disaster. Youngjae is a very talented creator and musician, and uses the piano when he composes a song! He has writing and/or composing credits on almost 50 tracks, including the GOT7 songs "Rewind", "Moon U", "Sign", "Nobody Knows", "1:31AM", "Breath", and later "Drive Me To The Moon" and "Our Youth", plus almost every song of his own including "Vibin", "Eternal", "Sugar", "Do It", "T.P.O" and "Fermata"! Youngjae was been key to GOT7’s sound and staying power as the main vocalist and in-house writer, but he has also built a real solo career of his own.
After winning the Vocal Excellence Award at Mokpo Youth Music Festival in 2011, Youngjae joined JYP through a closed academy audition in 2013, and debuted on January 16, 2014. After a very successful Era as the Main vocalist of GOT7, in 2021, he made his solo debut with the Album "Colors from Ars" (2021), which hit No. 1 on iTunes in 26 countries and peaked at No. 6 on the Gaon weekly album chart! The title track “Vibin” topped iTunes Charts in 21 countries and reached No. 124 on the Gaon Digital chart! In 2022 he released his 2nd mini album 'SUGAR' which debuted at #2 on the Worldwide iTunes Album chart after reaching #1 on iTunes in 24 countries, #15 on US iTunes and No. 5 on the Circle/Gaon album chart! His 3rd Studio album 'Do It', his 1st full-length studio album, released in 2023, reached No. 6 on the worldwide iTunes album chart and peaked at No. 13 on the Circle weekly album chart. Youngjae has sung multiple drama OSTs. In 2021, he starred in 'Midnight Sun', a musical adaptation of the Japanese movie 'A Song to the Sun', performing in 22 out of 95 shows! On 28 March 2022, Youngjae became the new permanent DJ of MBC Radio's 'Best Friend'! In January 2025 he starred in the musical 'Dream High'. He also starred in the series 'Friendly Rivalry' with favorable reviews for his acting and drastic image change.
Youngjae has won several awards. On 6 August 2022 in Bangkok, at the Ganesha Awards, Youngjae won for Best Asia Artist and Actor, and was named Ambassador of Cultural Friendship and Tourism Promotion to ASEAN. In 2022 he also won the MBC Entertainment Awards Rookie Prize (Radio) for 'Best Friend', then Best Radio DJ at the 2023 Brand of the Year Awards and Most Anticipated Radio DJ at the 2023 Korea First Brand Awards. He also won the 2024 Seoul Music Awards Global Producer Award and the Supersound Festival Super Male Vocalist prize in 2025!
Youngjae has attracted several endorsements! With GOT7 he was a global ambassador for THE FACE SHOP! As a Soloist he has been Levi’s Red campaign artist (2021), and has done clothing drops with PLAC and Howlpot (Ars × Coco), a Covernat × Esquire project with Yerin, Candy Lab in 2022 and Taiwan telecom DJB as brand ambassador in 2024. In September 2025, he was appointed Asian Ambassador to Thai mattress brand LUNIO!
Youngjae has consistently donated to charity. On October 15, 2018, he released “I’m All Ears” with Park Ji-min for the Life Insurance Social Philanthropy Foundation’s youth suicide-prevention campaign! He registered as an organ donor in 2020, then released the song, “Everything For You” on December 11, 2020. In May 2021 he joined the “I Rose You” campaign, run by the Love Organ Donation Movement Headquarters for donors and their families, recorded “I’m All Ears” for a youth suicide-prevention drive. In October 2022, he sent Covernat × Esquire Colors profits toward ALS patients! Youngjae also helps animals, and in 2020 his Ars × Coco Howlpot drop sent ₩15 million to KARA’s Bom Center. After Coco died, Youngjae donated another ₩30 million on Dec 2025 to the Korean Dogs’ Rainbow Shelter in her name and volunteered there. He just gave another ₩10 million on his 30th birthday while serving as a social-service worker.
Youngjae still has one of the finest voices in K-Pop and has built a real solo career as a singer, songwriter, actor, and DJ, without dropping the group that made him famous. He has always been someone who stays true to himself and never fails to make Ahgases proud. He is currently serving in the military, spending the past year writing, and remains the sunshine in the seven!

Ahgases, you’re all doing well, right?
It feels like there really isn't much time left now.
I’ll give it my all so I can get out there soon and show you a great side of myself. I love you so much!

GOT7’s Youngjae shared warmth by making a meaningful donation for abandoned dogs in need to mark his birthday.
To celebrate his birthday on September 17, Youngjae donated 10 million won to the Rainbow Shelter, run by Korean K9s, a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting abandoned animals. The donation was made in accordance with Youngjae’s wish to make his birthday more meaningful, and is expected to provide a warm helping hand to abandoned dogs in urgent need of assistance.
In particular, this is not the first time Youngjae has shown devoted love toward abandoned dogs. Youngjae, who is currently faithfully fulfilling his military service as a social service agent, also donated 30 million won to Korean K9s’ Rainbow Shelter at the end of last year.
At the time, Youngjae not only made the donation in the name of his beloved dog Coco, who had crossed the rainbow bridge, but also personally visited the shelter and took part in volunteer work, including cleaning the kennels, personally putting his good intentions into action and moving people with his heartwarming actions.
Youngjae’s continuous donations, which he has not forgotten to continue even while serving in the military, are expected to provide ongoing significant support for improving conditions for abandoned animals. The donated funds will be used for the treatment and health recovery of abandoned dogs rescued from poor conditions, as well as improving shelter facilities and creating a clean and comfortable environment for their protection.

@petrogustavo Presi tranqui ya entendimos que para la señora Cabal, un artista no es merecedor del pago digno por su obra de arte, las personas que sabes lo que vale lo intangible de una obra sabemos apreciar la magia en este cuadro.
"Recently, GOT7's 'Stop Stop It' has been experiencing a powerful resurgence, particularly across short-form social media platforms. This phenomenon goes beyond a mere stroke of algorithmic luck… It serves as a testament to the musical value of the title track from the group's first full-length album… crafted with genuine sincerity to firmly establish GOT7's unique identity at the time of its release.
By boldly stripping away overly complex instrumental arrangements that could cause listening fatigue and deliberately leaving space within the sound itself, the production allowed the members' distinctive dance lines and stage performances to stand out with even greater visual impact.
More than a decade later, this meticulously crafted sound aligns perfectly with today's dominant trends in the global music market, where easy-listening and laid-back, chill aesthetics have become the norm. It is now being recognized as proof that its forward-thinking production was ahead of its time, with the song's enduring artistic vitality naturally transcending the years and reaffirming its status as a timeless classic."
