💜 There’s a concept in K-pop called duality - this idea of being able to slide back and forth between the cuter side of a personality and a more alluring one; an artist’s edgy onstage persona and offstage sweetness. Jung Kook encapsulates it absurdly well and takes duality to its limits with his official global solo debut. It also arrives with a music video that takes a comedic approach to the song. You can watch it here: • 정국 (Jung Kook) 'Seven ...
But that was not the big surprise, it came in the explicit version with a reminder from Jung Kook that BTS has never been afraid of breaking the rules. Lyrically and thematically this version goes straight for the bedroom, describing how the man himself has the endurance and capability to keep you satisfied for 7 days a week. While the lyrics in “Seven” wouldn’t raise any eyebrows coming from a high-profile star out of the US, there’s an unspoken defiance from BTS’s youngest in releasing this as his global single. And that defiance fits him well and I applaud it.
For a long time, most K-pop stars have been encouraged to avoid breaking the sense of fantasy typically conjured in this niche of the music industry, allowing fans to always imagine they might be the one being sung about. It’s especially rare to see someone like Jung Kook not just allude to, but outright confirm, his wishes and desires for time with a lover and partner.
But BTS aren’t just any K-pop idols. They haven’t played by the rules their entire story so far; why should Jung Kook bother to start now? Like his six bandmates, he’s an artist who has transcended the expectations of how a K-pop star has to look, sound, or behave, and we get to enjoy a summer bop along the way.

Official lyrics
💜 My goal is to deliver English subtitles that are correctly translated, easy to read and understand, whilst not being an element that disturbs or irritates you. But I cannot make the rappers rap slowly ;)
💜 Regardless of the translation source for the subtitle, I also search for information about the song's meaning and lyrics. I fix errors, sync the subtitles to the video and replace words or sentences that need a better translation to make it easier to understand and/or follow the subtitles.
💜 I work on creating subtitles for BTS videos so that we can understand the songs better, as the lyrics are a big part of BTS music. I know a subtitle, as an option to turn on, will make people enjoy BTS more. Any advertising revenue is paid to the copyright holder, usually HYBE (Big Hit Entertainment), not me.
