GOT7 debuted in 2014 under JYP Entertainment and remained there until their contracts expired in 2021. In the final years approaching their departure, fans and netizens called out JYP Entertainment on multiple occasions.
Some issues included a lack of domestic and international promotions, interference with self-produced songs, and a lack of social media presence.
All these things can play into a song’s reception and success, and many fans blamed JYP for not properly promoting the group.
