They had two hours to advertise to fill up the 2,000 seats for an outdoor stage on a hot summer night.

When the members finally took off their masks, the swarming fans shouted their hearts out. More than 2,000 people gathered at M Stage at Gangnam Station.
“I worried a lot because we are making a comeback after a long break, but thank you,” Shinwoo said, tearing up. Fans shouted “Don’t cry” in unison.

Cho-rong said “I am like that too, and our members all live far away from home. It’s important to offer kind words to him.” Ha-young advised him to write a handwritten letter.
GOT7
At 10:30 p.m., seven members of GOT7 became genies during the live show “GOT7’s Mission Clear” and made three fan’s wishes come true.

The first wish was to make a morning call in three different styles. Mark exuded his sweet charm and said “Baby, did you sleep well?” while JB acted as the cynical boyfriend and shouted “Hey wake up, wake up!” and Jackson charmed the fans with his cuteness, saying “wake up” in a slow, whiny voice.

The last wish was for them to act out a scene from a TV drama. Member Junior acted a scene from the famous “The Heirs.”
“BamMin TV”
Following the GOT7 live show, Thai member BamBam taught Park Ji-min of 15& Thai language during their show “BamMin TV.”

Further on Thursday
BTS turned on their camera for few minutes to capture the moment of their arrival to Thailand for their upcoming concert on Saturday. The members said “sawadee kap,” “hello” in Thai, and were surprised to see so many fans gathered at the airport.
