BTS's Jungkook dropped his first solo digital single 'Seven' on July 14. The song also features American rapper and singer Latto, while the music video features Han So-hee playing his ladylove.
After engaging extensively in international promotional activities, Jungkook recently returned to Seoul and plans to promote his song more in his home country now. Jungkook has been keeping ARMYs engaged through his frequent livestreams where he shares more about his music-making process and life lately. The artist went live once again after his performance of 'Seven' on SBS's Inkigayo.
Perhaps the highlight of Jungkook's performance on the Inkigayo stage was not just that his debut solo digital since acquired its third win but that fellow BTS member Kim Taehyung surprised fans by joining the Golden Maknae on stage. Taehyung had perfected the sleek moves of 'Seven' and danced seamlessly with Jungkook on stage. Fans were elated to see the two youngest members on stage at the same time. But from Jungkook's livestream, it appears that it was not just fans he surprised by coming up on stage but JK himself!
In the livestream, Jungkook told ARMYs how Taehyung had visited him in the artists' room after the pre-recorded official version of 'Seven' - and they just chatted for a while. Tae had liked the choreography for 'Seven' and asked Jungkook to teach the hook step of the chorus to him. When Jungkook went up excitedly on stage to give an encore performance of his song, he was surprised by the sudden eruption of loud cheering from the audience - only to see that his hyung was dancing by his side! Jungkook also expressed his appreciation towards V for visiting and encouraging him during his solo promotions.

"Anyway, I taught him like this. and you all know how Taehyung hyung follows/learns things like choreo well, right? So he learned it quickly and- I didn't put much thought to it! That was it, but after going on stage and while I was performing, Taehyung hyung came up and started dancing together! I was so surprised. Anyway, I was so thankful!"
Jungkook is known in the team for doing laundry well and also for being BTS's resident foodie (along with big brother Jin, of course). Thus, it was no surprise that Jungkook turned on his livestream as he waited for his laundry to get ready and secretly told ARMYs about how was super hungry, especially because it was late at night. Tteokbokki, chicken, pizza - all these delicacies featured on Jungkook's midnight snack menu. We got hungry just watching him talk!
JK also opened up about his surprise at winning no. 1 at the Inkigayo music show and his expressed his heartfelt gratitude towards ARMYs. He also told fans that he was developing new challenges so that fans could have fun dancing along to 'Seven.'
