Jus2 makes fans FOCUS on them in Singapore

Tuesday, May 07, 2019

Mark joined Jus2 as the special host for <Focus> Premiere Showcase Tour in Singapore!

Jus2, made up of GOT7’s JB and Yugyeom, brings their fans to a new high for their final stop of <FOCUS> Premiere Showcase Tour in Singapore! On the night of 4 May 2019, Zepp @ Big Box saw a rare sighting of international Ahgases (an affectionate label for GOT7’s fans) flying in to catch the boys, affirming their massive popularity even outside Asia. Much to fans’ delight, fellow GOT7 member Mark appeared as a special host for the showcase!

The duo jumpstarts their showcase with tracks from their debut album, "Long Black" and "Drunk On You". They were then joined by Mark to carry out their first ment. Mark said he was honoured to finish up the last show. Not forgetting to include some local flavor, Yugyeom commented that they ate chilli crab the day before and said it tasted amazing. They also talked about their album concept:

JB: “Rather than sexy, this album is more of senses.”

Mark: “I think you guys look sexy too.”

Yugyeom: “Rather than bright, we wanted to be dark this time.”

For the next segment, the pair was tested on how well they know each other by answering personal questions. Mark teased that the two of them were not good at this, as they often answered wrongly during their previous stops.

Mark

For one of the questions, JB was asked whether Yugyeom wets his toothbrush before or after brushing his teeth. Leader JB guessed it right – the answer was the latter! Fortunately, the two boys redeemed themselves this time round.

Yugyeom

Apart from their irrefutable dance skills, they are also known for their generous fanservice. During Focus On Me segment, Three lucky fans were chosen to play staring games with the members (Mark included), having the time of their lives as they made direct eye contact with their idols. Talk about “Focus On Me” indeed!

After Mark bid his farewell as an emcee, JB and Yugyeom continued indulging fans in their sensuality, performing “Touch”, solo numbers “Sunrise” and “From Now”, and wrapping up with “Senses” and title track “Focus On Me”.

The encore stage saw the members conveying their gratitude and appreciation to Ahgases. JB expressed “We’re always thankful because we’re receiving from you. Through our music and performances, we hope to bring more meaning to your lives,” while Yugyeom stated “We hope to create more memories, and we hope to come back again with GOT7.”

Just when Ahgases thought the showcase has come to an end, Jus2 treats them to one last round of wildness where they performed “Hard Carry”, “Never Ever”, “Focus On Me” (for the second time), and “Go Higher” featuring Mark! The showcase finally concludes with a VCR by GOT7. The boys sure started off Ahgases’ May just right!

We would like to thank One Production/Live Nation Entertainment for the invitation.

GOT7 ‘Eyes On You’ World Tour 2018 – Singapore

Saturday, August 25, 2018

2 years after their last show in Singapore, the 7 charming boys of GOT7 finally returned to our sunny island on 4th August 2018 as part of their ‘Eyes on You’ world tour! GOT7 has been active since 2014, and consists of 7 members; Mark, JB, Jackson, Jinyoung, Youngjae, BamBam and Yugyeom.

The concept for the world tour was based on their latest album release - ‘Eyes on You’. Following this, the stage setup was done with the idea of showcasing an eye (or half-opened eye, according to Mark), and the LED backdrops before the show started were also designed with the idea of showcasing an eye.

The show opened with a bang when the boys appeared on stage to perform ‘Hard Carry’, and the world stars continued to wow the crowd with popular tracks such as ‘Stop Stop It’, ‘If You Do’ and ‘Never Ever’. In order to gauge how passionate the members were during their dance stages, Yugyeom had to have an emergency wardrobe change due to his pants ripping from the powerful dance moves! The multi-talented boys were also able to showcase their powerful vocals by serenading the crowd with slower numbers such as ‘Prove It’ and ‘Firework’.

Of course, the boys did not forget to introduce themselves before firing questions away at each other during the breaks in between each set of performances. When asked what they did back at the hotel the night before, they excitedly mentioned chili crab as well as pepper crab! Ever-playful BamBam even offered to buy crabs for the audience when he realized nobody had their dinner yet before the show started. Jackson decided to tease the fans by sharing that he had a bubble bath in the hotel, and added on that it was a great experience.

When it came to sharing what they liked individually about Singapore, Jinyoung, Mark and Jackson tried to one-up each other, which resulted in a highly entertained Ahgase crowd.

Jinyoung: I like the Singapore fans!

Mark: I like the chili crab AND the fans!

Jackson: I like the fans, chili crab, and the night safari!

Ahgases were in for a special treat when the boys revealed that they had prepared special unit stages! The first power duo to take over the stage consisted of Jinyoung and BamBam, who heated the stage up with ‘King’. JB, Mark, and Youngjae then took over the baton and performed an emotional number – ‘Think About It’. The special unit segment was wrapped up by Jackson and Yugyeom, who drove the crowd wild with their stage for ‘Phoenix’!

The show concluded with ‘Thank You’ and it was easy to see how much love the boys had for their fans, and vice versa. Instead of heading backstage prior to the encore, the world stars continued to hype the crowd with ‘Look, ‘Fly’ and a bonus stage of ‘Go Higher’ where a water fight ensued! Ahagases, stay tuned as the boys revealed that a new album is currently underway and that the next time they’ll be back on our sunny island might only be a few months away!
