2014: Debut with Got It?, Got Love, Identify and Around the World Bearbeiten - Exit historical view

JYP Entertainment announced Got7 on January 1, 2014. They were JYP's first boy group since the debut of 2PM in 2008.[3][6] Got7 was described as a hip-hop group[7][8]that incorporates martial arts tricking and b-boying styles in their performances.[4][9] This style drew comparisons to their senior group, 2PM, who are well known for their acrobatic dance styles.[7][10][11] The group released their first EP, Got It?, on January 20, 2014. The album shot to #1 on Billboard's World Albums Chart[12] and was #2 on the Gaon Album Chart.[13] Got7 made their official music program debut on January 16, 2014, through Mnet's M Countdown, performing their debut single "Girls Girls Girls".[14] Shortly after their debut, the group signed a contract with Japan’s Sony Music Entertainment and launched a showcase in Japan in front of 9,000 fans.[15][16]

On June 23, Got7 released their second EP, Got Love, with its title song "A", which was written and produced by J.Y. Park.[17] For their new EP, the group opted to show a brighter and more colorful image than their martial arts and b-boy style choreography emphasized at debut.[8] In November 2014, the group released their first full-length album, Identify, as well as the music video for its title track, "Stop Stop It".[18] Identify topped Gaon's Weekly Album Sales Chart in its first week and "Stop Stop It" peaked at number four on Billboard's World Digital Songs chart.[19][20] In October, GOT7 held their first Japan Tour, "GOT7 1st Japan Tour 2014",[21] and made their Japanese debut on October 22 with their single Around the World. This included the hip-hop track "So Lucky", composed and written by 2PM's Jun. K.[22]
