I thought I'd do about something a little different for this post, we've had anime and live action so I thought I'd down the reality TV route today.

Real GOT7 is an online reality YouTube series that follows the South Korean group GOT7. The series provides a different view of the members as they do various activities and are given group and individual missions, their company JYP Entertainment have produced 3 seasons of the show, with each season containing 10 episodes a season that vary in length, each episode are uploaded to the official JYP YouTube channel and include English subtitles allowing international fans to watch and enjoy the show.

Season 1 follows GOT7 as they prepare for they debut and having fun together with different missions as well as a hidden camera episode where they try to trick youngest member Yugyeom. The different missions include: Image Game, Cooking Challenge and a Teamwork Game.

Season 2 follows GOT7 behind the scenes as they promote for their 2nd comeback with A, most of season 2 shows them playing a secret angel game where they select a member at random and have to take care of them during promotions without the members figuring out who was taking care of who, the 9th episode was done like an awards where they all disclosed what they did and who for.

Season 3 was released 7 months after season 2 and mainly follows GOT7 as they have fun together playing games and having more missions, season 3 was shot with at least 1 extended break between episodes 5 & 6, with from episode 6 being involved with their 4th comeback with Just Right. Some challenges and missions include: an Affection Game and another hidden camera titled GOT7 Horror, Just Right.

Season 3 was later made available on DVD, the DVD set came with several bonus material, including previously unreleased footage, 3 making-of videos and 21 episodes of Got2Day, another series available on YouTube that had each member participate in an open talk with each of the other members.

When I first started listening to GOT7, this was the series I watched to get to know the members better, which after a couple of episodes I had it down for which member was which. Each of the members personalities shines through, Mark is known to be the quiet one within the group but you can tell if he has a task to focus on he's not as quiet, Jinyoung on the other hand I've noticed can be more reserved at times, he is definitely more open when he's with his other members having fun and playing around, he seems to have a fun mode and a serious mode. Jackson on the other hand is the member you can't help but admire and laugh at, you can tell he's an all round out going person. Real GOT7 is definitely a show I recommend all new fans watch to get to know the members, out of the 30 episodes I don't think there is one that didn't make me laugh. Watching this series made me and I'm sure all the IGOT7 feel like they could get along with all the members. I personally even though I'm older than them all could see myself having Youngjae and Mark as really close friends, like Mark I can be pretty quiet and I can also be loud and hyper. I would love to have a day to be able to just hang out with them all and just have fun. I hope that JYP will some day at some point release another season of Real GOT7 as I love watching them interact with one another. Whenever I'm feeling low I stick on Real GOT7 because by the end of just 1 episode I end up feeling a lot brighter within myself and for me that's the power of GOT7. If you want to watch 7 guys fool around having a laugh then I highly recommend you watch Real GOT7, even if you're not a fan I think this show will get you checking out their music and performances. I don't think I've really sold it to you but all I will say is WATCH IT!! and see just how awesome it is.

I actually received their brand new album yesterday Flight Log:Turbulence and I can't wait to share it with you in the future as I feel like a proud mum listening to it, and I'm proud to say they have just won their 2nd award for their new single Hard Carry.

GOT7: Just Right

Hello

It's time for another GOT7 post, you will be getting a break from GOT7 soon for me to posy about some other K-pop releases and albums I've got this year, which also means I get to enjoy their first comeback of me being an IGOT7, which is just over a week which I'm excited for and it also means I get to enjoy this full length album before I post about it, lets get back to today's post.

Just Right was the first release from GOT7 in 2015 making it their 3rd mini album, and another mini album showing a new side to them.

On the 9th of July 2015 a teaser was released for the title track, Just Right MV.

Just 2 days later on July 11th JYP dropped an album spoiler, teasing tracks from the mini album.

The next day on the 12th of July the MV for Just Right was released, showing a cute, fun and bright concept from the group. The track is a song that tells the listener that they don't have to change a thing about themselves and that they are JUST RIGHT the way they are.

July 13th saw the release of their 3rd mini album of the same name Just Right along with a video from GOT7 greeting their fans IGOT7 as they started promotions.

Just 2 days after the MV was released on the 14th of July a thank you message was released from GOT7 for their Just Right MV reaching 3 million views.

Members participated with the lyric writing with Defsoul(JB) writing the rap lyrics for Mine and Mark and Jackson writing the rap lyrics for Back To Me. Just Right peaked at No.20 on the Gaon Singles Chart and sadly failed to win any awards on music shows, the mini album saw better success peaking at No.3 on the Gaon weekly Albums Chart and at No.7 on the Gaon Monthly Albums Chart.

Even though Just Right failed to beat their previous mini albums chart positions, the mini album itself did better than both Got It? and Got Love in the sales department.

Gaon Physical Sales:

2015 - 90,539

2016 - 6,539+

Just Right has sold 36,367+ more copies that Got It? and 30,408+ more copies than Got Love showing that with each release GOT7's popularity is rising.

To date Just Right is GOT7's most viewed and most popular MV with it having 72,150,403 views

I love the layout out for this mini album, it's really bright and stands out among my other Cd's. There are 3 thin booklets within a hard slipcase with each booklet being a different bright colour, all 3 booklets have different pictures of the members individually as well as a group. It looks like they had loads of fun doing this concept in each picture.

Track List:
딱 좋아(Just Right)
보름달이 뜨기 전에(Before The Full Moon Rises)
온몸이 반응해(My Whole Body is Reacting)
Nice
Mine
Back To Me

I love this mini album, each track is so different but still shows of each of their vocal talents, but I have to say my most favourite track from the mini album has to be Mine, I LOVE Yugyeom's English especially how he pronounces warning. This comes with every GOT7 track but I love Mark's voice, I adore hearing him rap in both Korean and English and I love his 'cos you are mine, you're mine, you're mine, you're mine.' When I finally got into GOT7 I was annoyed that I didn't take the plunge sooner, last year and this year, I've seen the Just Right MV pop up constantly on my YouTube recommendations and often on the Up Next part when watching something else, but I couldn't get past the they're in a young girls bedroom, I attempted to watch this MV so many times but would only get as far as the first chorus, as this was my first time seeing a male group with this type of cutesy concept. I'm glad I eventually forced myself to sit and watch the MV as I'm glad I get to now keep watching these 7 guys grow and I think it's the fastest time that I've figured out who was who in the group as well as getting all their albums(including the JJ Project single) I also have a copy of Mark's yellow hoodie from the MV. Check out all the tracks below to see how amazing and colourful this mini album is.
