iGOT7 is "I GOT7" — "I have GOT7." Ahgase (아가새) is Korean for "baby bird." The nicknames go together: GOT7 are the trees that shelter Ahgase, the baby birds who nest in their branches.
Who Are iGOT7 / Ahgase?
Ahgase are one of K-pop's most loyal and resilient fandoms. When all 7 GOT7 members left JYP Entertainment simultaneously in 2021 — a nearly unprecedented group decision — Ahgase followed every member to their individual labels without hesitation. They organized the first crowdfunded independent GOT7 comeback in 2022. Ahgase are famous for their "Green Ocean" — a sea of green light sticks at every concert.
GOT7's lightstick is named "Coco Bong" after the bamboo-shaped design — GOT7's mascot is a bamboo bird named Coco. It glows in green and syncs via Bluetooth. The Coco Bong has become one of K-pop's most distinctive lightstick designs.
