“We are pleased to inform you about the release of SEVEN the solo digital single by BTS member Jungkook,” the statement read.

“SEVEN is an invigorating ‘summer song’ that is sure to have you experience the full breadth of Jungkook’s charm,” it continued. “We hope that SEVEN will bring your summer fun to the next level.”

The statement further adds that Jungkook will be promoting his solo digital single.

“As Jungkook kicks off his official solo activities, we ask you to extend your utmost anticipation and support for his digital single and many other activities to come,” it concludes.

It was also revealed that SEVEN will be released on July 14, 2023, at 1 p.m. KST.

This is great news for fans who have been waiting for new music from Jungkook for a long time.

There were previous reports suggesting that the BTS member will release a new album in July. However, BIGHIT Music clarified that the release schedule had not yet been decided. Luckily, it looks like everything was finalized just in time.

The release of the solo digital single comes at an interesting time considering that Jungkook had previously addressed his impending military service enlistment. According to the Dreamers singer, he plans to gradually cut his hair shorter so fans will get used to seeing him with a short hairstyle before announcing his enlistment.

There are speculations that all the remaining BTS members, including Jungkook, will enlist by the end of the year so the group can resume group activities by 2025. However, this has not yet been confirmed by BIGHIT Music. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.

BIGHIT MUSIC Clarifies BTS’ Jungkook July Solo Debut

BIGHIT Music is finally addressing the rumors surrounding Jeon Jungkook. The agency has clarified the plans for the BTS maknae’s rumored solo debut in July this year.

BIGHIT Music Debunks BTS Jungkook’s July Solo Debut Date

On June 4, BIGHIT Music issued a statement regarding the rumors about Jungkook’s July solo debut.

“The schedule relating to Jungkook’s solo album release will be revealed after it is confirmed,” the statement read.

The statement was released by BIGHIT Music shortly after Sports Chosun reported about Jungkook’s upcoming solo. In the initial report, it was indicated that the BTS singer will release his solo album on July 14, 2023.

The report also revealed that the solo album will feature an English-language B-side track. Moreover, they reported that Jungkook will have global solo activities to promote the album.

Although BIGHIT Music did not confirm that Jungkook’s solo album will be dropping next month, the agency made it clear that the BTS member is planning something. With that in mind, ARMYs are already looking forward to an official announcement from the company.

Jungkook recently made headlines after opening up about his military enlistment in the future. The “Euphoria” singer confirmed he will eventually enlist. However, he plans to make sure his fans get used to his shorter haircut without them even noticing.

“Rather than cutting all my hair suddenly, I will gradually cut it shorter and shorter,” Jungkook said. “It’s called hair-lighting,” Jungkook said, making a play on words from “gaslighting”.

“I will keep cutting my hair shorter until you guys all of a sudden ask, ‘What, when did his hair become so short?’ ‘When did he buzz his hair?’ And so I will make it so that (my short haircut) feels natural,” he added.

Jungkook and the rest of BTS are currently celebrating the group’s 10th year anniversary with the month-long event BTS Festa 2023.

BTS’ J-Hope Shares Update After Basic Military Training Graduation

J-Hope has finally graduated from basic military training. The BTS rapper celebrated the milestone with new photos he shared on Weverse and Instagram.

J-Hope Graduates From Basic Military Training In Awesome New Photos

J-Hope shared the new images on Weverse and Instagram. He also confirmed his graduation in the caption.

“ARMYs !!! I finished it well,” he wrote. “I was able to complete training well because the letters of support you sent me were very helpful!!!“

“I will do my best for the rest of my military service and show you my best! I love you!!” J-Hope then added, “The cell phone is fascinating…”

J-Hope underwent five weeks of basic military training at the recruit training center of the 36th Infantry Division in April. He then attended the completion ceremony and is now awaiting his station at a military base.

In related news, BIGHIT MUSIC previously asked fans to refrain from sending letters and gifts to J-Hope during his basic military training.

“Please refrain from sending letters and gifts even after he has finished his military recruit training and gets stationed at his military base,” the statement read.

“If a large number of letters and gifts from the fans arrive at the center all at once, it would be difficult to store them and they could be easily lost,” it continues. “We ask that you please refrain from sending anything by mail.”

The statement adds, “BIGHIT MUSIC will assist in making sure that J-Hope is able to personally see any kind and warm messages fans leave on Weverse using the hashtag #Dear_j-hope_from_ARMY.”

J-Hope confirmed his enlistment early last month and began his basic military training on April 18, 2023. He is the second member of BTS to enlist for mandatory military service after Jin in December 2022. Jung Hoseok is expected to be discharged on October 17, 2024.

J-Hope began his military enlistment on April 18, 2023. He was the second member of BTS to enlist for mandatory military service after Jin enlisted in December 2022. Since the two were assigned to different training camps, Kim Seokjin found alternative ways to reach Jung Hoseok.
