JAY B, the leader of GOT7 and a solo artist, is preparing to make his return after completing his military service. According to his agency, Mauve Company, JAY B will be discharged as a social service agent after approximately one year and nine months of alternative service. He released his special EP, Seasonal Hiatus , in February 2023 and has diligently fulfilled his military duties since then.
JAY B debuted in 2012 with the KBS2 drama Dream High 2 and later joined the boy group GOT7, marking the start of his music career. Following the expiration of GOT7’s contract, he has continued to thrive as a solo artist.
In May 2021, JAY B found himself in the spotlight when fans noticed images of specific female body parts in the background of his room during a live broadcast on his personal account. JAY B clarified, “I had pictures of an artist I admire displayed,” and expressed regret, stating, “I apologize for the display in a setting accessible to fans of all ages. I will be more cautious in the future.”

Another controversy emerged after he enlisted in the military. In July 2023, it was revealed that JAY B had sent direct messages to a civilian woman, asking about her activities and referencing her social life. He explained, “She sent me a DM first, and out of curiosity, I posted a story visible to only a few close friends, but someone captured it and spread it.” He emphasized, “We have no relationship, and we are no longer in contact.”
Meanwhile, following his discharge, JAY B plans to launch a global fandom platform on Saturday and greet fans for the first time through a live stream.
