GOT7 to make a comeback with WINTER HEPTAGON on January 20; fans come up with an interesting theory

According to reports, GOT7's 2025 mini-album is titled WINTER HEPTAGON.

GOT7 is gearing up for their much-anticipated comeback in 2025. The group has confirmed that their new album will be released on January 20. Recent reports have also unveiled the title of their upcoming EP, sparking excitement and theories among fans.

According to reports, GOT7's 2025 mini-album is titled WINTER HEPTAGON. Fans have delved into the significance of this title, discovering a celestial connection. In the night sky, when Mars joins the winter hexagon—a recognisable star pattern known as an asterism—a unique shape is formed around Betelgeuse, the red supergiant star. If one side of the heptagon is discarded, the seven brightest stars form a G-shape in the winter sky.

Many fans believe that this celestial reference symbolises GOT7's unity and enduring brilliance. The title WINTER HEPTAGON reflects the idea that, like the stars, the seven members will continue to shine brightly together, no matter the circumstances.

The group has already released the first teaser photo for the upcoming EP. A fan account pointed out that each member's position in the teaser references the seven stars in the winter sky, forming a G shape. Specifically:

- JAY B as Aldebaran

- Yugyeom as Capella

- BamBam as Pollux

- Mark as Procyon

- Youngjae as Sirius

- Jackson Wang as Rigel

- Jinyoung in the middle as Betelgeuse

In 2021, the group parted ways with JYP Entertainment after their contract expired, with each member signing with different agencies to pursue solo careers. After their 2022 release, there were concerns about GOT7's future, with fans worried that the group might disband. However, the announcement of WINTER HEPTAGON has raised the anticipation for their January comeback.
