JAY B
The leader of GOT7 turns a page in his solo career while reaffirming his unwavering attachment to his group and his fans.
On January 16 at 6:00 PM KST, the agency MAUVE COMPANY broke its silence through an official statement published on its social media. In a sober and direct message, the agency announced that it had terminated the exclusive contract binding it to the artist JAY B. This separation, effective retroactively from December 2, 2025, marks the end of a collaboration lasting several months and now leaves the idol free to set sail toward new professional horizons.
Alongside this administrative announcement, JAY B chose to address his community directly with touching sincerity. Rather than dwelling on contractual details, he preferred to celebrate a major milestone in his life: the 12th anniversary of his debut. His message, imbued with nostalgia and gratitude, looks back on the meaningful moments shared with the members of GOT7 and the Ahgases/iGOT7 (the group’s fans), once again proving that his role as leader remains his absolute priority, regardless of his management structure.
Here is the complete translation of his statement:
“The time has passed so quickly that it’s hard for me to believe it has already been 12 years. I would like to sincerely thank the members and the Ahgases who have stayed by my side all this time. Last year was an unforgettable memory, both for the members and for myself. I will do my best to create more beautiful memories in the future, so I hope you will wait for me.
I wish that everyone will be healthy and happy. Thanks to you, Ahgases, I have experienced so many moments of happiness over these 12 years. Of course, there were difficult moments (haha), but looking back, they are all joyful memories, and I hope we can continue to create more together.
Although it is difficult to thank each person individually, I would like to express my deep and sincere gratitude to everyone who has supported us, shaped us, and walked alongside us. Ahgases, and everyone who is with us, I am counting on you going forward. I know it is impossible to have only joyful memories, but I still hope for it. May we continue to do our best to create only the most pleasant and most beautiful memories. Thank you, this was JAY B of GOT7.”
This dual news places JAY B at a decisive turning point. While his departure from MAUVE COMPANY raises questions about the future direction of his solo career, his message confirms that the GOT7 entity remains more united than ever. Fans are now eagerly awaiting to see whether the artist will join a new label or choose the path of independence to manage his future projects.
As a reminder, the end of his contract with MAUVE COMPANY was officially confirmed on January 16, with an effective date of December 2, 2025.
