‘Seven’, which features rapper Latto, was first released in 2023 as the BTS
member’s first official solo release. The track scored
a four-star review from NME, with Rhian Daly writing: “Arguably one of the BTS
members with the broadest mainstream, commercial
appeal, ‘Seven’ sets the bar pretty high for Jungkook’s solo era. A summer-ready bop that also adds new facets to the singer’s
artistry? We’ll take that any day of the week.”
Listen to Jungkook’s ‘Seven’ below.
As for BTS
, the K-pop juggernauts in early July reunited for the first time since 2022, with all seven members having completed
their mandatory military service in South Korea. During a special livestream, the band confirmed rumours that they were preparing
to release new music.
“We’ll be releasing a new BTS
album in the spring of next year. Starting in July, all seven of us will begin working closely
together on new music. Since it will be a group album, it will reflect each member’s thoughts and ideas. We’re approaching the
album with the same mindset we had when we first started,” BTS
said in a statement.
“We’re also planning a world tour alongside the new album,” they added. “We’ll be visiting fans all around the world, so we hope
you’re as excited as we are.”
