GOT7 started the year with a bang – not only with a full group comeback and a new album, but also a successful three-day concert at Handball Arena of Seoul Olympic Park.
Day 3 of the 2025 GOT7 Concert, <NESTFEST>, took flight on Sunday, 2 February 2025. Fans, known as IGOT7 (pronounced as “Ahgase” which means baby bird), flocked to their screens as the concert was streamed live on Beyond Live.
The Golden Days
The opening vcr felt like traveling through time and space as they introduced each member, all dressed up with slicked back hairstyles. When they regrouped as GOT7, the stage revealed them in person with fireworks and laser lights to the song ‘Hard Carry’.
The hit song, which won four music show awards, was met with loud cheers and heated up the atmosphere. Dressed in semi-casual outfits and dark eyeshadow, GOT7 performed ‘Girls Girls Girls’ next. Jinyoung in a velvet suit and BamBam in a snake-patterned suit stood out among the dancers in black.
As they got Ahgases to sing along, the members joyfully reminisced and attempted some of their original acrobatic moves from the choreography.
GOT7 continued with another classic, ‘Stop Stop It’. While they mostly maintained their charisma, Jackson playfully teased Jinyoung, who struggled to hold back his laughter during the performance.
After performing three iconic GOT7 songs, the opening introductions followed with their orginal debut greetings. Ahgases were reunited with Purest Yugyeom, Flying Mark, Power Vocalist Youngjae, GOT7 Leader Jay B, Wild and Sexy Jackson, GOT7’s Cutest BamBam, and GOT7’s Mom Jinyoung. The members then chatted about breakfast and…underwear.
Fans responded enthusiastically to everything the members did, including the “Gwenchana Ding Ding” dance trend. The members had playful banter on stage, from BamBam pressuring Jackson to say hi, to teasing each other about bulking up, and giving a shoutout to Youngjae’s new nephew.
With Jay B’s signature smirk, GOT7 performed the next song, ‘A’. The members walked along the stage to say hello to the fans, while still having solid ad-libs.
It felt ‘Just Right’ to see them performing happily and teasing each other, especially when Mark forgot his step. Mark admitted that he was too excited that he missed the timing for the group dance, which led to Jinyoung also admitting that he made a mistake. The iconic shoulder-shrugging choreography still looked perfect in 2025.
Someone probably had to stop Jackson from scolding the second floor for not being enthusiastic enough though.
GOT7 then got serious with ‘Lullaby’ at the extended stage with full choreography. It was followed by another yapping session on the main stage. Skrrt! The conversation veered towards their fan chants, stage costumes, and their curiosity if they had any new fans. Jay B got sulky because the fan always missed out his name for the fan chants.
They then turned the stage into a ‘Playground’, as they stood on the moving platforms with clouds on the LED screen. The heartfelt vocals for the song from their first album, ‘GOT IT!’ left Ahgases on cloud nine.
GOT7 then sang sentimental songs from their latest WINTER HEPTAGON album, ‘her’ and ‘OUT THE DOOR’, accompanied by a burst of confetti.
The members reminisced about their 11-year idol journey, sharing memories about their albums, older songs, and salon stories. They also teased Jackson and Youngjae for always sleeping during their debut days.
BamBam then attempted for a smooth lead in to the next song, but the members foiled it as usual. ‘THURSDAY’ was up next.
There were so many moments that stood out – including the jackets and tops and muscles that were voluntarily or forcibly revealed. As they danced with the dancers, they continued teasing each other and engaging in funny antics on stage.
GOT7 then reminded fans to “breathe in, breathe out” with a complete performance of ‘Breath’.
Solo Stages
Not only does GOT7 have a strong group identity, the members too have their own unique music colour.
Mark embodied the boyfriend look in an all-black outfit for his solo stage, ‘Carry Me Out’. He performed the pop rock song with a mic stand and ended the performance by being carried out by the dancers.
Next, Jinyoung sang a warm and hearfelt ballad with ‘Letter’, as he conveyed the emotions of his letter through his vocals and his facial expressions. Jinyoung set the mood in a black suit with a crescent-shaped brooch.
The screen then focused on Jackson standing elegantly in a leather Tang Suit and beanie on the rising platform at the main stage.
It perfectly complemented the soothing tunes of Jackson’s ‘I Love You, 3,000’ which featured a sweet piano outro. Jackson expressed that all seven members love their fans 3,000 and that he would dearly miss the moments on the stage.
Jay B then gave an alluring performance with his latest single, ‘CLOUD NINE’. The smooth vocals was accompanied by dreamy lights, dancers, and captivating visuals. The sexy outfit and choreography was out of this world.
The rest of the solo stages was more vibrant and upbeat, like Yugyeom’s ‘SHINE feat SUMIN’, Youngjae’s ‘Vibin’, and BamBam’s ‘riBBon’. They wore bright outfits from a pink bomber jacket (Yugyeom), a green furry coat (Youngjae), and a blue suit with roses (BamBam).
Fans were clearly excited as they watched the dance breaks, Youngjae being the “King” of vocals, and the dancers surprising BamBam with hearts and roses. BamBam shared that his song celebrated the year he was born, with a play on the words ribbon and re-born.
The members were in high spirits and ready to tease each other once again about their solo stages and costumes as they reappeared on stage in an all-white ensemble.
Designated victims were Yugyeom’s dance remix to Bobby Brown’s ‘Every Little Step’ and Jackson’s cute fit. BamBam even took out confetti from his pockets to celebrate Jackson’s look.
GOT7 talked about their favourite solo songs. Mark revealed his favourite solo track was ‘Everyone Else Fades’, while Jinyoung sang a snippet of ‘Cotton Candy’. Bambam and Yugyeom sang their favourite songs, ‘Thank You Come Again’ and ‘Steppin’ respectively. Jackson hummed to ‘Magic Man’, but of course the members did not let the Papilion agenda rest with a whole verse recited like clockwork.
The conversation then switched to the songs of the other members that they liked, with Jay B sharing that he liked Yugyeom’s ‘Ponytail’. The other members also mentioned they enjoyed Youngjae’s single, ‘Do It’. With the members’ encouragement and fans singing along, he sang a snippet.
BamBam took the chance to tease Jay B with his impersonation of ‘CLOUD NINE’, and also requested for a live cover to ‘Crash’, the second title track from JAY B’s latest album. Jay B also shared his amusement towards Jackson who loved his older song, ‘go UP’, when they were talking about his latest Crash mv.
Songs dedicated to Ahgase
GOT7 then did a powerful performance of ‘If You Do’. The song led to the first GOT7’s music show win on The Show in 2015. The earworm included Youngjae’s high note and Jackson’s cute trust fall on stage during the performance.
Fans were then coiled up with the latest title track, ‘PYTHON’, followed by a heartfelt ballad with ‘Yours Truly’. Both were tracks from the ‘WINTER HEPTAGON’ album that was released to celebrate their 11th anniversary.
The latter song was a fan-favourite, as all seven members collaborated on the lyrics. The members each wrote down what they wanted to say to their fans the most, and then Jay B compiled and translated them into lyrics for the song.
By the third vcr which featured their handwritten letters for fans, it was already more than two hours into the show, but we were only halfway done.
Seeing the future with <NESTFEST>
GOT7 reappeared dressed in their <NESTFEST> merchandise, with the ahgase keyring and their ID photos literally hanging around them. They also added cute stickers on their face, all ready for their ending ment.
It started with brief happy remarks from Jay B and BamBam, who did not want to be sad, but instead focused on having lots of fun like a festival during <NESTFEST>. BamBam promised to come back as soon as possible for the fans.
Jinyoung remained steadfast towards his love for fans. He admitted it was difficult to last long as a group, but through <NESTFEST>, he saw the love and saw the possibility of being able to stay together for a long time.
Mark and Jackson took the opportunity to share the difficulties they faced in order to debut, and revealed that both of them almost could not debut after being cut off from the debut list twice. Jackson had a difficult time keeping his composure and kept facing the stage as he thanked the members for being his friends for life.
Yugyeom and Youngjae wrapped up the segment by circling back to the fans, wishing them good health and urging them to cherish the moment. They emphasized that GOT7 doesn’t take these opportunities for granted.
They then signed off with ‘Encore,’ a song dedicated to fans that captures GOT7’s sentimental pop-R&B sound and conveys the everlasting message that they will always be there.
Time flies when you are having fun
Now that the sentimental part of the concert is over, GOT7 let loose on stage for their second encore stage. Dancers came out to join the party as the GOT7 members roamed around to interact with the fans to bright and lively songs like ‘NANANA’ and ‘Hello’.
Jinyoung, wrapped in a pink Kirby hat cheerfully called out “Yoboseyo”, inviting everyone to walk back to the stage. Yugyeom and BamBam were having a great time partying together, while Jackson sat at the back of the stage looking droopy.
In a playful moment during ‘Fish’, BamBam and Jinyoung started to play with an inflatable Ahgabong.
As the members continued singing, they glanced at the prompter for lyrics, all wearing adorable animal hairbands. Fans enthusiastically offered them snacks, and the group interacted with the audience, creating a warm and lively atmosphere.
They also made sure to sing ‘Papillon’, as Jackson responded with some colourful language back to the members who teased him, adding to the fun and energetic vibe of the show.
As they played Mark’s solo song next, the members and fans got increasingly drenched from spraying water at each other, keeping the energy high.
Then, they played Yugyeom’s solo song, ‘1 MINUTE’, singing his heart out while pouring water over his own back for a dramatic touch.
GOT7’s jukebox party was followed by Youngjae’s ‘T.P.O’, as dancers hyped Youngjae as he performed the bridge and chorus, and even an impromptu dance break. The dance break mania continued even when Jinyoung’s ‘Cotton Candy’ came up and they had a dance break among themselves, showcasing their camaraderie and talent. Mark was seen taking photos with Ahgase’s polaroid and film cameras, while BamBam and Jackson ate the snacks that fans gave them.
As a remixed version of Jay B’s ‘Crash’ played, he went all out, rocking his head and belting out rock notes, while Yugyeom added fun vibes with a bear hat.
It was then finally time for BamBam’s random play song to ‘LAST PARADE’, before announcing to the audience that GOT7 will go up to the second floor to say hi to Ahgase.
Third…Encore?
The final encore stage kicked things off with GOT7 hits like ‘Page’, ‘Go Higher’ and ‘Shopping Mall’. The members continued interacting with their fans, and some started giving away hoodies, towels and other merch to the crowd. This included Jinyoung who gifted an item to a young Ahgase and BamBam who ended up shirtless on the second floor. BamBam reappeared wearing a red GOT7 shirt.
As part of the finale, they performed ‘Face’, and ‘Before the Full Moon Rises’ as they were seated together side by side on the main stage, vibing and enjoying the moment.
The members reminded Ahgase to get home safely, urging fans not to trip on their way back. Jinyoung also reminded fans of his love for Jackson at the last minute, as he expressed, “Why did I come to love a man who needs Visa?”, and everyone burst out laughing.
Overall, the four hour stage showcased heartfelt interactions in the stadium. It was great to see GOT7 being their usual selves, and they thanked the staff for allowing them do so for <NESTFEST>.
GOT7 lived up to its commitment to creating a visual and auditory extravaganza for fans, be it in the stadium or online.
