On Monday, January 20, GOT7 sat down for an interview with 1TheK, where they revisited many memories from their past, including trainee and pre-debut days. At one point, the members were asked about the photo that landed on the internet where BLACKPINK's Jennie and GOT7's BamBam were out for dinner.

Given that many assumed that the two were dating, the idol reiterated that the two were never in a romantic relationship and explained that they were just close friends. He continued to add that GOT7 and BLACKPINK members shared quite a close friendship since their trainee days.

Despite being housed under different agencies. BamBam stated that they've been friends for a long time and often hang out with each other. When this news landed on the internet, many fans and netizens were surprised to learn about the same. Since neither of the band's members had previously talked about the two groups' friendship, fans were naturally not aware of the same.

On Monday, January 20, the seven-piece K-pop boy group rolled out their latest EP, Winter Heptagon. The group was last active in 2022 with the release of their previous EP titled Got7. Following the same, the members took a break from group activities to concentrate on their solo careers.

After a three-year hiatus, the members finally released their much-awaited comeback, which includes Python as its title track. The song was produced BamBam. The album contains a total of nine tracks.

Given that the group is not housed under any entertainment agency, they partnered with Kakao Entertainment for the recent comeback.

In an announcement made by Kakao Entertainment about Python, the agency described the song to feature pop melodies that are combined with hip-hop beats. The song is expected to portray the inescapable fate between those who are meant to be together. On the other hand, all the songs in the EP have at least one or two members as a lyricist or composer.


Additionally, GOT7's comeback also rolled out a fan song called Yours Truly. This song was composed by the group's leader, Jay B, and all seven members of the group have reportedly collaborated on the track's lyrics. Following the return of GOT7, fans are excited to see what the members have in store for them.
