Global idol group, GOT7 has always been close to their fans known as iGOT7 or Ahgase. Every year, they try to visit as many cities as possible to meet their fans from around the world. The multinational boy-band embarked on another world tour after releasing their eighth extended play called ‘EYES ON YOU’ and Ahgases are definitely here for it!
GOT7 2018 World Tour ‘EYES ON YOU’ kicked off in South Korea on May with 18,000 fans at the Jamsil Indoor Stadium. The group continued to impress everyone as they gathered 39,000 fans in Thailand alone and around 20,000 fans from Russia, Germany, and France.
After a hugely successful 2018 ‘EYES ON YOU’ world tour in Europe, GOT7 went on to meet more fans in North America with shows in Toronto, Los Angeles, Houston, New York, and Mexico City. Thanks to SubKulture Entertainment, we were also able to enjoy their sold-out show in Los Angeles, California which happens to be GOT7 Mark’s hometown!

It was a hot Friday night, but thousands of fans spent two-and-a-half hour screaming at the top of their lungs, laughing, crying, singing, and dancing to their beloved group’s performances, ments, and hilarious in betweens. The concert in LA was held at The Forum, one of the best-known indoor arenas in the United States.
GOT7 is quite known for being very proactive in interacting with their fans in multiple languages, especially in English. With GOT7, fans usually feel like they are at a concert in South Korea as the boys can effectively communicate and initiate fun activities with their audience. This is one of the reasons why the idol group has a strong international fandom.
The LA show got even more special as JYP himself and GOT7’s parents also came to enjoy the concert. Park Jin-young met the audience and even waved to the fans from his seat!
Rappers Jackson, BamBam, and Mark definitely hyped everyone with their lively and spirited performances; while vocalists Youngjae, JB, Yugyeom, and Jinyoung delivered beautiful renditions of their songs. Their Aghases filled the packed venue with bright green lights as they also delivered amazing fan-chants on every performance!
GOT7 performed their old and new hit songs with “Hard Carry” as the opener and “Go Higher” as their closing performance. Their live vocals never fail to impress and their adlibs make their fans’ hearts fly. It was a visually stunning concert production and yes, the idols themselves are breathtaking and effortlessly handsome.
#EYESONYOUinLA is definitely a show to remember. The boys gifted their fans with amazing stages and sweet messages, telling them to dream as big as they dream and reminding them that they are always thankful for their love and support. GOT7 and the Aghases certainly inspire each other. It was such a lovely sight to see.
The global stars continued their successful ‘EYES ON YOU’ tour in South America and will return to Asia in August for their shows on Singapore and Hong Kong.
