If you have been a long time K-Pop fan, you would know that there are many problems and issues that can arise among K-Pop idols, fans and even the agency itself. Most of the time, fans unite as one and do their best to fight for their rights as well as the best for their favourite idols and groups.
Some common examples include trending hashtags on Twitter or even sending emails to the agency, in the hope of receiving feedback. These days, fans also gather money and send out protest trucks to the front of the agency.
On July 6, it had come to Kpopmap's attention that many GOT7fans, IGOT7, from all over the world had come together to ask for the better treatment of the idol group.
They had sent out a truck to the front of the agency, hoping that they could listen to the voices of IGOT7. Take a look at the pictures uploaded below.

According to the data posted, it was said that more than 11,000 IGOT7 had participated in an online survey that was translated into 13 different languages in just 4 days time. They had raised the concerns they had over GOT7 and come up with 6 main points. For those who wish to participate, you can check out more here.
Many are hoping that through the truck protest as well as the submission of pdf file, JYP Entertainment would give feedback to them as well as provide GOT7 with better treatment which they had requested.
With that being said, some might recall that a while ago through Mnet "Super Intern", it was revealed the management of JYP had been divided into different divisions.

There are mainly 4 different divisions with each division managing different artists and K-Pop groups. Do take note that this was released back in 2019 and is not updated.
This would also mean that artists and fandom under different divisions will be undergoing different management as well as experiencing some difference in fandom treatment. Not many are a fan of this new management from the agency and had also shared their concerns on various online communities.

One pointed out that if there is going to be a difference in every division, it is better to just scrap the divisions management system. They are also disappointed in how the agency is not taking the feedback from the fans.
Many also believe this might be linked to the lack of feedback and difference in treatment among various JYP artists.
Previously, it was also noted that Jae from DAY6had publicly asked JYP about why it was not reposting his work.
With that being said, fans from all over the world are coming together, hoping to hear feedback and improvement from the agency.
