GOT7 in Melbourne

Jackson, JB and BamBam (Naver V Live)

In the latest episode of GOT7’s travel log, the seven bandmates were seen in Melbourne, Australia for their world tour. Two days before the concert, they gathered around for dinner in their hotel room, chowing down on pizza and guzzling beer.

While goofing around they talked about what they had done in Melbourne.

BamBam also shared a scary story from Thailand, sending a chill through his bandmates.

They also talked about sleep paralysis. “I seriously wished I could wake up,” said JB as he talked about his personal experience.

“When I had paralysis, I could see Yugyeom coming near me so I shouted at him to wake me up, but he couldn’t hear me,” said Mark. “Luckily I woke up and then screamed when my eyes met Yugyeom’s eyes.”

After the scary story segment, the band hoped none of them would have nightmares.

GOT7 enjoyed the Melbourne concert, meeting fans and singing. During the group’s free time, they also had a chance to do touristy stuff, such as canoeing.
