"Jinyoung forgot his lyrics for OUT THE DOOR," a fan wrote.

"I love that got7 are free now and can do what they want at their own concert w/o some company breathing down their necks. sit down mid con and yap for 20 mins? yep. Blatantly read the monitors for lyrics? Why not. forget choreo? Who cares. NEVER CHANGE GOT7 WE LOVE YOU," another fan wrote.

"HAHAHAHAHA Bambam hiding Jinyoung's eyes to not be able to see the lyrics on the teleprompter," another fan added.

"The kpop community really needed them to come back," another fan said.
