BTS Jungkook shares the real reason behind choosing ‘Seven’; ‘Wanted to look grown up’

BTS' golden Maknae, Jeon Jungkook, is currently basking in the success of his solo debut, 'Seven Feat. Latto.' After streaming the song on loop and making it climb to the top of the Billboard charts, one thing BTS fans are sure of is that Jungkook is no longer the 'Cute Maknae' of the group. Instead, he has evolved into a grown-up, appealing artist, which is exactly what Jungkook wanted to achieve. This is not just our opinion; the Euphoria crooner himself has shared the reason behind choosing the song 'Seven' and how he fell in love with the lyrics at first glimpse.

Jungkook on choosing SEVEN

Recently, Jungkook walked his fans through the creative process of "Seven," including the locations of the song's recording and production in the US. Hitman Bang and Jungkook both revealed that they had listened to the song earlier and that they had both fallen in love with it. Why did he choose the song? Well, he fell in love the first time he heard it along with Hitman Bang. Jungkook earlier has attended so many concerts and shows and watching them perform left a significant impact on his decision. When Jungkook thought about how other performers and their performances inspire him, he realized that he could immediately picture himself performing the song.

Wanted to Look ‘Grown Up’

Another factor that contributed to Jungkook choosing 'Seven' as his solo debut was his desire to break free from his 'Cute Maknae' image. There is no doubt that the BTS fandom has always perceived Jungkook as the baby of the group, considering he is the youngest, and everyone has witnessed his journey to the top ever since he was just 15 years old. However, now he has grown and evolved into one of the most stylish, appealing, and talented artists in the world. He expressed, "I thought I'd look so grown up if I performed that song on stage after coming back."
