“You are already a giant pop star”: BTS’ Jungkook’s fans reassure the SEVEN singer of his star status after his recent Weverse interview

Almost a week into the release of SEVEN, BTS’ Jungkook’s promotional activities are in full swing. The Euphoria singer gave a long and detailed interview to Weverse, HYBE’s fan-community platform wherein fans can interact with their favorite HYBE artists. He dished on the success of his debut solo single, SEVEN, featuring Han So-hee and American rapper Latto, his desire to be recognized as a giant pop star, and pursuing solo activities sans other Bangtan members.

When asked what trusting his instincts means to him and what leads him next, BTS’ Jungkook replied matter-of-factly that he has one solid goal, which is to be a giant pop star.

The interviewer interjected by saying that he is already a giant pop star, to which Bangtan’s maknae promptly said that he’s not there yet. Furthermore, he revealed that this is his ambition, and he’s working steadily towards it.

Q: “Where does trusting your instincts lead you as an artist?”

Jung Kook: “It’s hazy. I just … I only have one, big goal, and it’s to be a GIANT POP STAR. I’m not thinking about what the next concept I pursue is going to be or anything.”

However, ARMYs are in disagreement with BTS’ Jungkook’s words and believe he is already a giant pop star. “You are already a giant pop star”, wrote @CatQue7 in response to his Weverse interview.

BTS’ Jungkook’s fans assure him that he is indeed a giant pop star in their eyes

BTS’ Jungkook admitted that going solo after a decade of group activities and promotions with Bangtan, he is nervous about entering uncharted territory. However, he is excited about chapter two and has chosen to trust his instincts going forward.

The Dreamers’ singer reveals that he doesn’t have clarity on what kind of concepts he wants to pursue in the future or what kind of image he wants to showcase to fans. However, he is absolutely clear and sure about one thing: being a giant pop star.

“I only have one, big goal, and it’s to be a giant pop star. I’m not thinking about what the next concept I pursue is going to be or anything. “Seven” wasn’t something I planned in advance either—Producer Bang Si-hyuk just played it for me, and it was so good, I said, ‘Oh, I definitely have to do this one.’ I figured out what kind of promoting I’d do once I decided to do “Seven.” That’s all instinct too.”

The interviewer pointed out that he is already a giant pop star and recognized worldwide; BTS’ Jungkook humbly disagreed, revealing a more ambitious and go-getter side to his personality. He revealed that he has a long way to go to “be more appreciated.”

“I don’t see it that way. I guess it’s just my ambition—the ambition to be more appreciated and be even better. In a word: cool. That’s the whole reason I’m doing this.”

ARMYs jumped into the Euphoria singer’s defense, lavishing praise on him and declaring that he is already a “giant popstar”.

Additionally, his song SEVEN is now the fastest song in Spotify’s history to surpass 100 million streams within 6 days of its release. Fans believe that this is just the beginning of his success as a soloist, and there’s more to achieve. According to Jungkook's own cryptic hints, the singer is preparing for the release of his debut solo album, which he intends to release in the final quarter of the year.

According to HITS Daily Double, his debut solo album will be in English, and BTS’ Jungkook will be assisted by Bang PD, and HYBE America’s CEO Scooter Braun will aid him with that. There is no confirmation on that front yet, but fans are hoping the album includes a generous mix of Korean songs as well.
