On July 14, 2023, BTS’ Jungkook made his much-awaited solo debut with the single SEVEN featuring Latto, with the appearance of Han So-hee in the music video. Shortly after the release of SEVEN, BTS’ maknae was to appear on Good Morning America’s Summer Concert Series, where he was slated to perform for fans at New York’s Central Park.
However, news of an impending thunderstorm foiled his solo concert plans and the SEVEN singer headed back to his hotel. To make up to ARMYs, he turned on his Weverse Live to shower praise on his co-star and ace Korean actress Han So-hee. BTS’ Jungkook shared that Han So-hee really helped him understand the nuances of acting and guided him through the shoot.
"Han So Hee helped me as the main character, and she helped me a lot. At first, I was honestly wondering what to do, but when I turned the camera around, he was so good at acting. I relied on him. I want to say thank you for helping me do well. I think it came out well thanks to you."
Please note: It's Jungkook talking about Han So-hee in the paragraph. However, due to Weverse mistranslation, 'she' has become 'he,' when it's supposed to be the former.
