Members of South Korean Boyband formed by JYP Entertainment GOT7, Jackson, Youngjae and Jinyoung were spotted trending on microblogging site Weibo Hot Search. They were noticed trending on Weibo Hot Search hours before they performed on their latest track ECLIPSE.
Yes, Jackson, Youngjae and Jinyoung decided to come live on V Live to interact with their fans before their new release ECLIPSE. A social media user wrote on V Live, “So funny when Jackson speaks in Korean still sounds Ching”.
