Jungkook, Despite BTS's Monumental Success, Still Strives for More as a Pop Star

In a recent interview with Weverse Magazine, K-pop sensation Jungkook of BTS fame revealed that he still doesn't perceive himself as a "giant pop star" despite the group's massive global success over the last decade. Even after releasing his debut solo single "Seven," featuring American rapper Latto, the 26-year-old megastar shared that he has "one big goal" he is striving to achieve.

Although the world may view him as a musical giant, Jungkook humbly expressed his desire to be "more appreciated and be even better" as an artist. He envisions himself becoming the epitome of a "cool" pop star and wishes to experience the overwhelming recognition that comes with such a title.

Jungkook passionately expressed his hope for the day he can step back and see himself from a third-person perspective, giving himself the acknowledgment of being that kind of pop star he aspires to be. For him, that moment will signify his accomplishment of this personal goal.

This week, Jungkook delighted fans by dropping several remixes for his single "Seven," showcasing different musical styles such as the "Summer" mix, featuring an upbeat dance sound, and the "Lofi" and "Nightfall" mixes, among others.

Reflecting on how the original song came to be, Jungkook shared that the track wasn't something he planned in advance. It was presented to him by producer Bang Si-hyuk, and he knew immediately that he had to record it due to its exceptional quality.

Regarding the collaboration with American rapper Latto, who brought a liveliness to the track that matched the theme of sexual fantasy, Jungkook expressed his satisfaction. He appreciated how Latto's unique charm perfectly complemented the overall mood of the song, particularly the bold and direct approach to the subject matter.

As Jungkook continues his journey as a musician, he remains dedicated to honing his craft and striving to reach new heights in the music industry. Fans around the world eagerly await the day when he fully recognizes his stature as the "giant pop star" he aspires to be, appreciating him for the exceptional talent and dedication he brings to the global music scene.
