There have been countless occasions when Jay B put the other GOT7 members before himself. His strong sense of brotherhood and responsibility has made him take on a protective role, which is endearing to see. For example, there have been emotional moments where all the members have cried but Jay B held back his tears to make sure that they are okay first. If you watch any of the group's interactions, you will also notice that he is always quietly trying to help them, be it by encouraging them or passing them a bottle of water during an interview, he is always making sure his members are taken care of.
Likewise, there are many moments where the members have taken care of him too, showing their wholesome bond as seven members of a family.
