Jung Kook's solo debut 'Seven' surprises fans with Latto collaboration

Jung Kook made a highly anticipated debut with his first major solo single, "Seven," which was released at midnight ET on Friday morning.

The song not only fulfilled its promise but also surprised fans with a special guest appearance by the popular female rapper, Latto. 

While the lyrics allude to a sizzling encounter between the two artists, the music itself exudes a relaxed and mellow vibe, making it a potential late addition to the list of summer hits.

During an email interview with Variety, Jung Kook acknowledges the summery atmosphere of the track but appears somewhat surprised by the projection that it could become a hit. 

He confesses, "I honestly didn't have a specific goal in mind, but since you mentioned it, I would be thrilled if it becomes a 'hit.'"

As translation posed a challenge due to Jung Kook's limited command of English, similar to other BTS members, he conducted the interview via email with the assistance of a translator. 

During the interview, he expressed his aspiration, or at least his hope, that the devoted BTS ARMY can anticipate a solo album before the conclusion of 2023, while keeping the details of its progress under wraps.

In the interim, fans can witness Jung Kook's individual charisma as he performs "Seven" on "Good Morning America" without the dynamic of the group chemistry, this Friday morning.
