Jungkook’s influence is also evident in numerous charts and awards. Upon its release, “Seven (featuring Latto)” topped Billboard’s major charts: the Hot 100, Global 200, and Global (excl. US). It also holds the record for the fastest song to reach one billion streams in Spotify history (108 days).

“Seven (featuring Lato)” combines a captivating melody, warm acoustic guitars, and a British garage beat (electronic music created in the UK in the early 1990s). It’s an emotional serenade that expresses the desire to be with your loved one for a whole week.
Meanwhile, Jungkook is currently in Los Angeles, along with the entire group: Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, and Taehyung, working on a reunion album scheduled for release in March 2026.
