“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.
