Jungkook's first step as a soloist, not BTS... Chart top at once, MV 10 million views in 3 hours
“As soon as I heard it for the first time, I was like, ‘I have to do this.
BTS's Jungkook released his first solo single, 'Seven', and began his full-fledged career as a solo artist. He has released solo songs before, but this is his first official solo project.
Jungkook introduced "Seven" as "an addictive song that anyone can enjoy easily and comfortably." He said, "I thought about how more people could enjoy 'Seven'. 'Seven' was the first genre I tried, and the production process was fresh. There were many things I could learn while recording. It was fresh and good." revealed
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Seven days a week / Every hour every minute every second / You know night after night / I will love you right I'll be lovin' you right / Seven days a week
As such, 'Seven' is a passionate serenade song with lyrics about wanting to be with the person you love all week long. The repetitive lyrics, addictive melody, and warm acoustic guitar sound harmonize with Jungkook's sweet voice, making it easy to listen to. The cheerful rhythm and humorous music video add to the fun of watching. While fighting with her lover (Han So-hee) all week long, Jung-kook tries to prove his love for him. Even in a heated argument, in danger of being submerged in water, or being blown away by a raging storm, Jungkook sings and dances for his lover. Jungkook even goes to a dangerous situation to hold a funeral. Jungkook lying in a coffin at a funeral. Among the mourners, his lover, Han So-hee, is seen. Fortunately, Jungkook opens the lid of the coffin and comes out smiling and humming. Han So-hee tilts her head and is astounded, but at the same time happy. Finally, Han So-hee hands over to Jung-kook, and the two walk towards somewhere holding hands. Jungkook is full of confidence, confident and playful, and the image of Jungkook winning love in the end is a factor that brings out laughter.
After the sound source was released, it settled at the top of the domestic music charts at once. It ranked first among music tracks released on the day, such as Melon, Genie, Bugs, and Flo. The music video reached 10 million views within 4 hours of its release. Global fans left comments in their respective languages, such as "Jungkook's voice is calm and ecstatic", "He left a mark on all K-pop", and "The youngest who always gives us art."
Following J-Hope, Jin, RM, Jimin, and Suga, Jungkook is the sixth member of BTS to make an official solo debut. Previously, the other members made meaningful records not as a group, but as solo activities. Jimin became the first K-pop solo singer to top the Billboard Hot 100 with his solo song "Like Crazy."
