JYP Entertainment is on fire this year in terms of acquiring new artist. They started the year with a bang with its successful introduction of rookie boy group GOT7. The 7-member boy group was immediately dubbed one of the fastest rising group in recent times because they consistently did well on the charts and bag a lot of endorsement shortly after their debut. Their album also entered the Billboard World Albums charts, becoming one of the few Korean boy groups to do so.
