With his debut album, Jungkook explained to Fallon that he wanted Golden to encompass the universal emotion of love.

“Everyone can relate to it,” he said. “I wanted to show the change of this emotion. And also in terms of the versatility. I wanted to become a solo artist who can pull off a lot of genres, and that’s what I try to do here.”

Elsewhere in the conversation, the artist also opened up about how he spends his days off, his nickname and what his proudest achievements are.

“So, whether I put it lightly or seriously, I think the two things I’m most proud of are ARMY and BTS,” Jungkook said. “If it weren’t for them, I would not be what I am today.”

Jungkook's "Seven" Video Is Like a Rom-Com Where He Woos Han So-Hee 7 Days a Week

This is not a drill, BTS fans! The group's youngest member, Jungkook, has officially launched his solo era. While the maknae has released numerous singles as gifts to fans through the years (like his love letter to ARMY, "Still With You") and collaborations like "Left and Right" with Charlie Puth and his World Cup anthem, "Dreamers, " with Fahad Al Kubaisi, the July 14 release of "Seven" marks the start of his career as a bonafide solo artist.

Fans have been waiting for this single since July 6, when Big Hit Music started rolling out Jungkook's promotional content for "Seven," including a short film and concept photos featuring the star showing off his physique in various outfits (one — loose-fitting jeans paired with an oversized blazer — even gives a peek at his abs). On July 7, it was also revealed that Jungkook's first performance of "Seven" is already planned.

The K-pop singer has since opened up about how the process of releasing his solo single has impacted him. "This is first in the official schedule for my solo music . . . I think I gained some confidence in believing that I can do this," Jungkook shared on July 10 in a special behind-the-scenes featurette of his recording sessions for "Seven". "A song that can receive recognition. I hope people listen to the song with ease."

It's always easy to listen to Jungkook, but there's also tons of excitement around the video, especially with the anticipated appearance of a certain South Korean actor. From the official teaser that dropped on July 12 "Nevertheless" and "My Name" actor Han So-Hee will appear in the visual. The clip featured the BTS member and Han arguing at a fancy dinner before a chandelier crashes beside them.

Ahead, learn everything there is to know about Jungkook's debut solo single, "Seven," so far — including the lyrics, meaning, and when he'll be performing it live.

Jungkook's "Seven" Music Video

Jungkook tries his hand at comedic acting (and succeeds) in his "Seven" music video as he pursues his love interest (played by Han) through explosions, floods, torrential downpours, and even fakes his own death to get her attention. Check out the video below!

Jungkook's "Seven" Lyrics

Weight of the world on your shoulders I kiss your waist and ease your mind I must be favored to know ya I take my hands and trace your lines

It's the way that we can ride It's the way that we can ride Think I met you in another life So break me off another time You wrap around me and you give me life And that's why night after night I'll be lovin' you right

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday (A week) Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, seven days a week Every hour, every minute, every second You know night after night I'll be lovin' you right seven days a week

You love when I jump right in All of me I'm offering Show you what devotion is Deeper than the ocean is Wind it back, I'll take it slow Leave you with that afterglow Show you what devotion is Deeper than the ocean is

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday (A week) Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, seven days a week Every hour, every minute, every second You know night after night I'll be lovin' you right (I'll be lovin' you right) Seven days a week

Verse 3 (Latto)

Tightly take control, tightly take his soul Take your phone and put it in the camera roll Leave them clothes at the door What you waiting for? Better come and hit ya goals He jump in it both feet Going to the sun-up, we ain't gettin' no sleep Seven days a week, seven different sheets Seven different angles, I can be your fantasy Open up, say, "Ah" Come here, baby, let me swallow your pride What you on I can match your vibe Hit me up and I'ma Cha Cha Slide You make Mondays feel like weekends I make him never think about cheatin' Got you skippin' work and meetings Let's sleep in, yeah (Seven days a week, ooh)

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday (A week) Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, seven days a week (Seven days a week) Every hour, every minute, every second You know night after night I'll be lovin' you right, I'll be lovin' you right seven days a week

Jungkook's "Seven" Meaning

In a Tong Tong Culture interview, Jungkook shared the meaning behind "Seven"'s lyrics, explaining, "[They have] the meaning to be with the person you love all the time. Like the title of the song, from Monday to next Sunday, that willingness to be with that love of my life every day is shown in this passionate serenade."

Jungkook's "Seven" Live Performances

Jungkook performed "Seven" during "Good Morning America"'s Summer Concert series on the day of its release, July 14. Unfortunately, rain and thunder caused the full concert to be canceled, but not before Jungkook performed "Seven," as well as BTS's "Dynamite" and "Euphoria" for the thousands of fans in attendance.

Is a Jungkook world tour coming soon?

The fervor among fans of BTS 's 'golden maknae' Jungkook is reaching new heights amid swirling rumors of a potential solo world tour. The buzz began when Tanu Muino, the acclaimed Ukrainian director behind the captivating " Standing Next To You " music video, shared intriguing photos from behind the scenes. Among the snapshots that captured the creative atmosphere of the shoot, one detail has sent waves of excitement across the fandom — a visible hint in the form of " JK WORLD TOUR " signage.

While details remain shrouded in mystery, this subtle yet suggestive clue has sparked a wildfire of speculation and hopeful conjecture. Could this signify Jungkook's plans to take his electrifying stage presence and expansive repertoire on a global journey? As BTS members embark on their solo artistic endeavors, the possibility of Jungkook headlining his own international tour is a tantalizing prospect for ARMYs worldwide, who eagerly await an official confirmation and announcement.

Jungkook's solo releases from ' Golden ' have garnered international acclaim and only fuel the plausibility of a world tour. As the youngest member of the global phenomenon that is BTS, his individual popularity and proven musical prowess position him perfectly for such a monumental career milestone. Currently, fans are on high alert, parsing through every snippet and teaser with bated breath as excitement builds for the possibility of Jungkook announcing tour dates that might bring him to perform in their own city soon.

I'd be in if he would come in my country, but I doubt a world tour can happen since he hasn't enlisted yet. Right now he must have restrictions as far as travelling is concerned. He can travel for sure, but a world tour seems very unrealistic. Let's be patient and hope it happens after his military service.

I will be happiest if jk can finally have his first solo concert which he wanted eversince.

"Play Me Slow," and the title track, "Standing Next To You," in bold font, take up the most space on the poster. However, Eagle-eyed ARMYs noticed "JK World Tour" scribbled on the poster in an almost non-negligible font.

The "JK World Tour" signage has certainly sparked major intrigue and curiosity amongst ARMYs, who are anticipating an official announcement soon. Additionally, BTS' Jungkook has been teasing fans about going on a potential world tour soon, and Tanu Muino's Instagram story has just stoked the rumour fire more.

The details of the possible World Tour are shrouded in mystery. However, ARMYs are hopeful that BTS' Jungkook gets to do a solo tour before enlisting in the military.

BTS' Jungkook's potential World Tour might be titled GOLDEN or Standing Next To You

If BIG HIT MUSIC confirms the World Tour rumors, then BTS' Jungkook will become the second member of Bangtan to host his solo world tour after SUGA.

Although the Euphoria singer has been dropping hints regarding a potential World Tour, director Tanu Muino's Instagram stories have stoked the rumor fire further. For those unversed, Tanu Muino is a celebrated Ukrainian filmmaker and the director of BTS' Jungkook's title track, Standing Next To You, from his debut solo album GOLDEN.

Notably, she has directed music videos for world-famous artists such as Harry Styles, Cardi B, Post Malone, Lil Nas X, etc. Additionally, she has filmed for luxury brands such as Dior, which adds to her repertoire.

Tanu Muino 's Instagram stories have sparked off a new round of speculations. Will Ms. Muino participate in the SEVEN singer's world tour? Or Will maknae's world tour be named Standing Next To You or GOLDEN , similar to SUGA's D-DAY ?

Interestingly, On November 20 at 8 pm KST, BTS' Jungkook will host his debut solo concert, ' GOLDEN Live On Stage ', at Jangchung Gymnasium, Jung-gu, Seoul. The concert will be streamed live on Weverse for fans across the world. This event could be the starting point and span across the globe. Check out fan reactions below.

BTS' Jungkook's fans believe that since he probably doesn't have time to go on a full-fledged solo World Tour. He might embark upon a mini tour or showcase to selected countries and cities.

Bangtan's Maknae has had a successful run with his solo singles SEVEN and 3D, and then with the release of his debut album GOLDEN , fans believe he is ready to take on significant challenges.

ARMYs are waiting for an official announcement from BIG HIT MUSIC's side and are hopeful to be notified in advance so they can organise the required funds, should he come to their city or country.

BTS' Jungkook released new 'Standing Next to You: The Remixes'

On November 6 at 2 pm KST, BTS' Jungkook released a new remix album inspired by his debut solo album GOLDEN , titled 'Standing Next to You: The Remixes'. This album solely consists of remixes of the maknae's new title track Standing Next To You.

BTS ’s Jungkook recently appeared as a guest on Jimmy Fallon ’s popular talk show, Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, to promote his solo album,  Golden .

During their chat, Jimmy Fallon brought up many interesting incidents related to Jungkook, including his chaotic Weverse live, where he fell asleep to six million live viewers and his perpetual fear of microwave ovens.

Fallon also brought up the possibility of a solo world tour, allowing Jungkook to address the ongoing speculations .

Ever since Jungkook made his official debut as a soloist, ARMYs have suspected the possibility of him doing a solo world tour. It wouldn’t be unprecedented since his bandmate Suga already did one with the Suga | Agust D tour.

Speculations about Jungkook’s solo tour took root when fans spotted pre-release posters teasing his single “Seven” pop up in different cities around the world.

In his response, the BTS maknae clarified that he very much has the ambition of doing a world tour as a solo artist.

However, he admitted that his solo discography was not enough for that goal yet.

That doesn’t mean the hopes of a Jungkook solo tour are squashed forever. He assured ARMYs that once he builds up his repertoire well enough to feel ready, he will do a tour “ in full swing .”

For now, Jungkook concluded, he would be happy if people look forward to his solo concert on November 20, which will also be livestreamed.

BTS member Jung Kook announced the release date for debut full-length solo album on Tuesday (Oct. 3), revealing that Golden will drop on Nov. 3. The 11-track album will feature the singer/dancer’s Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit single with Latto, “Seven,” as well as his new song with Jack Harlow, “3D.”

A Complete List of BTS’ Solo Projects (So Far)

The solo LP follows a string of previous solo singles from Jung Kook, including “Euphoria,” “My Time,” “Still With You” and “My You,” as well as collab singles with Lauv (“Who”) and Charlie Puth on the latter’s 2022 single “Left and Right.”

The Harlow song is on track to debut at No. 2 on the UK singles chart this week, marking the week’s highest debut. Jung Kook made  U.K. chart history  earlier this year with “Seven,” when the track landed at No. 3 on the Official U.K. Singles Chart (July 21), for the highest-charting debut by a solo Korean act.

The 26-year-old singer is stepping out on his own in the midst of BTS’ pause to allow its members to report for South Korea’s mandatory military service. To date, Suga, Jin and J-Hope have all enlisted, with Suga reporting for duty on Sept. 22 and telling fans to hang tight for the group’s planned 2025 return.

Jungkook Drops Solo Debut Album 'Golden' and Groovy 'Standing Next to You' Music Video — Watch

'Golden,' out Friday, features collaborations with stars like Jack Harlow, Latto and DJ Snake

Jungkook is feeling golden.

On Friday, the BTS member released his debut solo studio album Golden with an accompanying music video to his song "Standing Next to You."

In the music video, which was shot in Budapest, Hungary, Jungkook, 26, breaks into groovy dance numbers with his backup dancers as they turn various locations into a stage.

In the beginning, Jungkook appears to be pursuing a woman before luring her in with his dance moves. By the end of the music video, Jungkook and the mystery woman finally meet eye-to-eye.

In "Standing Next to You," Jungkook showcases his versatility with the infectious track, which is about sticking by someone's side through adversity.

Jungkook — who is known as "Golden Maknae" aka "Golden Youngest" of BTS — is aiming to highlight his trajectory from a band member on BTS to a solo star on his debut album. It also features collaborations with stars like Jack Harlow, Latto and DJ Snake, while producers on the album include Ed Sheeran and Shawn Mendes .

A press release also states that "through the order of the tracks, Jungkook expresses the flow of emotions that follow the changes in relationships. The first half of the album introduces songs with light-hearted melodies portraying someone falling in love, whereas the latter half lays out songs that feel heavier, dealing with emotions following a breakup."

In July, the singer made his solo debut on Good Morning America ' s Summer Concert Series.

Before the skies opened up over New York City, forcing an early end to the show, the youngest member BTS performed three songs in front of an audience of devoted fans — many of whom lined up overnight or even camped out for a chance to see the singer in Central Park.

Jungkook performed his single "Seven," his first official solo release; as well as "Euphoria," a fan-favorite Jungkook track off the group's 2018's album  Love Yourself: Answer;  and BTS's 2020 smash hit "Dynamite."

In an interview with  GMA’s  Juju Chang that was moved indoors to the show's Times Square studio, Jungkook shared that his fellow BTS members — RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin and V — had heard his new music and gave it a glowing review. "They loved it," he said. The members have already been sharing messages of support for the single on their Instagram accounts.

The group announced last June that they would be pursuing solo projects while continuing some group activities as the members fulfill South Korea's mandatory military service. Jin , j-hop e and SUGA are currently enlisted.
