pull a GOT7 

GOT7 is a globally popular 7 member kpop group, who were under JYP Entertainment from 2014-2021. The agency had been mistreating them for years, not giving them promotions, not restocking their albums, not protecting them from stalkers, and the list goes on. All 7 members collectively terminated their contract with the agency, stayed together as a group, all while taking all rights of their album, music, etc from their agency.

No kpop group in history has ever done this before, which is why the act of leaving your agency with rights to all your content, all while staying together as a group is called "pulling a GOT7".

"I love X group buts it's a shame they are under this agency, I hope when their contracts get over they pull a GOT7 and leave with everything."

"It's not that easy to pull a GOT7, it takes years of struggle, patience, and willpower."
