Precious angel Choi Youngjae meets his idols through Instagram

[kyokomurasaki.livejournal.com]

Youngjae recently got a chance to connect with American Idol singer, Elliot Yamin, thanks to one Instagram post and the support of his fans.

It all started two days ago when GOT7‘s Youngjae posted a picture of him listening to Sanjoy‘s new song “Obvi” featuring Elliott Yamin. He captioned the post, “Yamin Hyung, please release an album.”

It didn’t take long for GOT7 fans to flood the page tagging Elliot Yamin and Sanjoy in order to get their attention. Elliot noticed the messages and commented on it immediately, thanking everyone for their immense support and responding back to Youngjae.

Elliot also tagged Sanjoy and the two began connecting with Youngjae on the Instagram post, with fans watching the whole interaction go down live!



Excited by the interactions between Youngjae, Elliot and Sanjoy, GOT7 fans started posting clips of Youngjae singing and tagging the two artists. It definitely worked, as Sanjoy replied back to multiple fans and told them that he “would love to work with [Youngjae]” and that he was “trying to get in touch” with GOT7’s management.

Lucky, GOT7 had a scheduled fan meet in Los Angeles with concert organizers SubKulture on the next day, on January 29th. When fans notified Sanjoy of this, he commented on Youngjae’s airplane selfie post and told him that he wanted to hang out.



Youngjae then tagged Elliot Yamin again and asked him if he would like to come to the show, to which Sanjoy responded that he’d love to!



The artists were able to all get in touch after these messages. Elliot and Sanjoy were both spotted at GOT7’s fan meet, uploading photos to their Instagram. Youngjae gave them a shout-out on stage and shared how happy and thankful he was that one of his favorite singers was in the audience to watch his show.

Youngjae also told fans about how he had actually passed the JYP audition by singing one of Elliott’s songs. When he was asked to sing something, Youngjae sang a beautiful short rendition Elliott Yamin’s biggest hit, “Wait For You.”

Sanjoy and Youngjae both posted videos and photos to their Instagram accounts with the three of them hanging out backstage. Elliot in particular was so incredibly thankful to all of GOT7’s fans for making the meeting happen. It’s no doubt the two American artists have found out how popular K-Pop artists are, thanks to IGOT7s!

Elliot then went on to tweet a link to Sanjoy’s song, which he features on, along with the caption, “Let’s get Youngjae on this!”. It looks like the three of them are definitely in talks to do a collaboration song together!

[violentiak.livejournal.com]

Yas, this is the year of Youngjae. He already rised from being the Got7 member I cared about least to be my bias. And he has gained more and more attention.

[mordres.livejournal.com]

:') the year of youngjae

[kobrakiddo.livejournal.com]

Omg this is so sweet I'm literally smiling from the start to the end of the post :'D This is exactly how western celebrities and kpop artists should view each other, pure respect and in awe of each other's talents and musical ability. And not like *cough*. There's DEFINITELY going to be a collab soon though I hope it's not just going to be a remake of Obvi, lol. I hope they make an EP together ! And it'll be a lot easier considering how considerably lenient JYP is with stuff like this. Youngjae should get all the other GOT7 members to be part of it too lmao
