GOT7 held their first ever fan meeting in Manila, and it was one huge success. Thousands of iGOT7’s (what their fanbase is called) flocked the SMART Araneta Coliseum on the evening of November 14, to witness the group showcase their talents, charms and their sincerity towards their fans.
In the world of K-pop, fan meetings are, to put it simply, special. In Korea, they hold events like these mostly with official fan club members. It is the time for the group to not only showcase their best stages, but also to address their fans in a more personal manner. After all, who would understand the band better than their fans? So to speak, fan meetings come with a lot of perks. In GOT7’s case, there was indeed that personalized interaction that the fans hoped for. Selected iGOT7’s got to play games with the guys up close.

Sam Oh, who was the evening’s emcee, proved to be a good host as she translated the conversations well.
