Jungkook on Weverse
BTS's Jungkook released his debut solo digital single 'Seven' on July 14. He also released a music video featuring Latto and 'World of the Married' star Han So Hee - the artist's visuals, vocals and the songs risque lyrics have made fans go berserk on social media.
Jungkook hosted a listening party with ARMYs on Stationhead as part of 'Seven's' promotional activities. Towards the end of the party, he asked fans whether they wanted to continue the conversation on Weverse. While ARMYs were super excited at the chance to spend more quality time with their idol, they thought JK was joking as he had earlier revealed him catching a cold as well as being on a completely packed schedule. However, Jungkook kept his promise and took to Weverse soon after!
Jungkook is known for doing long livestreams which have no particular theme or talking point. Rather, the artist simply answers fan questions and talks about what's recently been going on his life (for which he often goes on long tangents, but ARMYs are certainly not complaining!) He also does several covers during his livestream or even treats fans to hours upon hours of a live one-man BTS concert!
JK thanks fans profusely for supporting the release of his song and joining him for the listening party. "The listening party today was so much fun and thank you so much to our ARMYs for always supporting my solo promotions and sending so much love. its thanks to you all that i spend each day happily. really, thank you. i'll repay you with good songs and cool performances," he said. ARMYs once again, did not miss a chance to ask him to sing 'Seven' live. He graciously indulged and sang a melodious acapella version - Jungkook needs no musical accompaniments to enthrall audiences!

However, BTS always enjoys teasing ARMYs and the once-innocent Jungkook has joined the bandwagon. His single 'Seven' has two version - and the explicit version has some eyebrow-raising sexy lyrics. During his livestream performance, Jungkook pulled fans' legs by taking a long pause in the middle of the song to keep them guessing as to which version he was singing - before finally giving in - but still singing the 'clean' version. Guess our dramatic andwaes (Korean for 'no'!) didn't work.
Jungkook was adorable as usual and taught ARMYs some eye-strengthening exercises and also mimicked a dog barking. Very random, but fans are here for it!
The artist did ultimately end up indulging fans by singing the explicit version as well a little later.
The Golden Maknae has been engaged in several activities to promote his song. He recently travelled to the US and was slated to kick off the Good Morning America Summer Concert series with a live performance of 'Seven.' However, due to safety hazards surrounding thunderstorms in the Central Park, New York City area, the concert was called off. However, Jungkook still delivered a stunning performance of Seven, a one-man rendition of Dynamite as well as Euphoria during the soundcheck and the pre-recording.
