120----
121!![=GOT7=] provides examples of the following tropes:
122
123[[folder: Band and Member Tropes]]
124* AnimalMotif: Youngjae is often compared to an otter by the fans and even the members.
125* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Bambam, despite not actually being the youngest member, gets treated like one, due to how young he looked at debut.
126* BigLittleBrother: Youngest member Yugyeom who is also the tallest.
127* ButtMonkey: Jackson on Weekly Idol and Idol Room, where the hosts tend to pick on him no matter what he does.
128** Recently, JB has been a victim of this as well.
129* CandidCameraPrank: Especially on Yugyeom:
130** Yugyeom is tricked into thinking the members are mad at him for being late to dance practice. When they reveal it's a prank he [[InelegantBlubbering starts to cry.]]
131** The members purposely break a bottle of wine and then try to pin it on Yugyeom while claiming it's super expensive.
132** They try to do this to JB as a patience test, however he figures it out due to their bad acting.
133* FamilyThemeNaming: Most artists from JYP Entertainment have a number-related name: [[Music/TwoAM 2AM]], [[Music/TwoPM 2PM]], 15&, Baek Ayeon[[note]]baek = 100 in Korean[[/note]], [=GOT7=], [[Music/{{TWICE}} TWICE]], and {{Music/DAY6}}.
134* TheFashionista: Bambam. He is very into fashion and is usually wearing expensive clothing and watches.
135* InelegantBlubbering: Yugyeom after the members prank him into thinking he's pissed their dance teacher off by showing up late to practice and thus caused a fight between the members.
136* MeaningfulName: 7 is considered a lucky number, giving [=GOT7=] the meaning of "7 people that's got luck."
137** Park Jinyoung stated that the name [=GOT7=] originated from g.o.d.'s original name, which was supposed to be [=GOT6=].
138* MistakenAge: When Bambam first met Yugyeom, they both thought that Yugyeom was older because Yugyeom had a very mature face and Bambam had a baby face.
139* MommasBoy: All of them are close to their moms, but Jackson is the most notable. There is a moment in their live show, where Jackson was watching TV and the news said "a guy throw away his mother", Jackson was shocked and sad over the fact that someone would dare to hurt their own mother, and outright said if he met those kind of people, He might ''kill'' them. Another hillarious one occured when he was asked to confessed his love to a girl loudly, he shouts " I like her" and "I love her" but when the host said "more than your mother?" he quickly replied with a "No".
140* MrFanservice: Jackson is constantly taking his shirt off, even tossing it into the crowd at times. [[EatingTheEyeCandy Not that the fans complain.]]
141* TheNapoleon: Jackson has admitted to being sensitive about his height, and gets very irritated when people, even fans, point it out. He's also very loud and has a big personality.
142* LanguageFluencyDenial: Mark will claim not to understand Korean in an attempt to get away with cheating.
143* TheLeader: JB; in this case, the members themselves picked him because of his assertive personality.
144* LovableJock: Jackson has won medals for fencing and is the most muscular of the group, and he is also incredibly friendly and open to everyone he meets.
145* OlderThanTheyLook: Bambam at their debut could have passed for 13 or 14, despite being 16 at the time.
146* ProneToTears: Mark cries easily, especially during concerts. Lampshaded on Idol Room when the hosts ask Mark to cry to prove his identity. And he succeeds.
147* PurelyAestheticGlasses: All of the members wear glasses for only aesthetic reasons, especially Bambam.
148* RedOniBlueOni: Jackson and Mark. Jackson is very loud, excitable, and thrives under attention, whereas Mark is quiet and introverted.
149* SingerSongwriter: All the members have participated in songwriting, most notably JB, and the raps are often written by the rapline (Mark, Jackson, and Bambam).
150** The tracks for JJ Project's mini album "Verse 2" were written by JB and Jinyoung.
151** JB has released two self-written albums on soundcloud.
152* SingingVoiceDissonance: Jackson has a slightly higher-pitched speaking tone, but when he sings his voice is surprisingly baritone.
153** His speaking voice is also very smooth, whereas his voice when rapping is very rough and airy.
154* SpellMyNameWithAnS: JB's name has been romanized as both Lim Jaebeom and Im Jaebum so fans will use any combination of the two. JB has since stated that he prefers Lim Jaebeom.
155* StageNames: JB for Lim Jaebeom. Jinyoung had one, Junior, to differentiate him from the president of their company who shares his name. He decided to go by his real name starting from their 2016 comeback.
156** JB uses "Defsoul" and Youngjae goes by "Ars" for composing work.
157* TeenIdol: Bambam and Yugyeom, who were both 16 at their debut as idols.
158* ThemeNaming: JB and Jr, who were in JJ Project. However, the pronunciation of the names aren't similar (Jr is pronounced as "Junior").
159* TheyCallMeMisterTibbs: JB insists that Jackson call him [[UsefulNotes/KoreanHonorifics hyung,]] despite the fact that Jackson is only three months younger.
160* TrueCompanions: [=GOT7=] have lived and trained together for years, so they are very close and see each other as family.
161** JB once said that he and Jinyoung are not simply friends, but life partners, and implied that he considered them soulmates.
162* VitriolicBestBuds: Most of [=GOT7=] with each other, but particularly Yugyeom with Jinyoung. They are often teasing and getting on each other's nerves, and are nicknamed "Tom and Jerry" by fans.
163* VocalDissonance: Yugyeom is the tallest member and has mature, masculine facial features, but has a high-pitched, babyish voice.
164** Jinyoung has a very childlike face but the deepest voice.
165* VocalTagTeam: [=GOT7=] has four vocalists (JB, Jinyoung, Youngjae, and Yugyeom), and also, outside of the norm for idol groups of their size, have two main vocalists (JB and Youngjae).
166* YoungerThanTheyLook: Yugyeom due to his height and mature facial features - though this has lessened as he has gotten older.

198* SelfEmpowermentAnthem: "Just Right" addresses someone who is insecure about themself and reassures them that they are perfect as they are and shouldn't change.

214* StylisticSuck: The "Hard Carry" switch parts version. The members exaggeratedly imitate each others' voices and actions and sing terribly.
215** The "Sunrise" Solo Change M/V; Bambam wears shoulder pads and juts his chin out in imitation of JB while making dramatic motions, and doesn't even try to lipsync.
