July 26, 2023 — The world of music has been buzzing with excitement as Jung Kook, a beloved member of the globally acclaimed K-pop group BTS, teamed up with rap sensation Latto to deliver the electrifying track “Seven.” In a recent poll conducted by Billboard, music fans resoundingly voted “Seven” as their favorite new music release of the past week, with an overwhelming support of nearly 96% of the votes, leaving behind other notable contenders like Billie Eilish, Troye Sivan, and Post Malone.

The captivating music video accompanying the song features Jung Kook embroiled in a passionate exchange with actress Han So-hee, who plays his on-screen girlfriend. Set in a luxurious dinner setting, the video takes an unexpected turn when a chandelier crashes down, capturing the attention of everyone present. Jung Kook’s soulful voice, intertwined with sultry guitar licks, adds depth to the emotionally charged lyrics, making “Seven” an instant hit with fans and critics alike.

The collaboration between Jung Kook and Latto has been a remarkable moment for both artists. Latto, a rising star known for her “Big Energy,” took to Twitter to show her appreciation for the BTS Army with three “7” emojis, referencing the song’s title and her own lucky charm imagery. This collaboration comes on the heels of her recent success with the Cardi B-assisted track “Put It On Da Floor Again,” which soared to No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100.

For Jung Kook, “Seven” marks his return to the solo spotlight after the success of “Dreamers,” a chart-topping song featured in the 2022 FIFA World Cup soundtrack. The track showcases his versatility as an artist, garnering immense love from his dedicated fan base and new admirers alike.

The poll’s runner-up, Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?” secured nearly 3% of the votes with its introspective and emotional lyrics exploring themes of identity and existence.

With this chart-topping success, Jung Kook and Latto’s collaboration has proved to be an explosive combination, setting new records and captivating hearts worldwide. As their fans celebrate this milestone, the music industry eagerly anticipates what these two talents have in store for their future endeavors.

Stay tuned to witness the reign of “Seven” on the charts and in the hearts of music lovers across the globe.
