Starting off by chatting about his previous single “Seven” featuring Latto, and all of its success, Jung Kook shared what it’s been like to see people respond so positively to the track.
“It’s not that I wasn’t confident before, but I think the song achieved a lot more than what I expect, so I’m very thankful. I’m grateful to my ARMY and to everyone who listened and enjoyed the song.”
A testament to the track, “Seven” recently won Song of the Summer at the 2023 MTV VMAs, an amazing outcome for what Jung Kook intended to accomplish. “I released the track as a summer song, which was right for the season,” he noted. “And I was also able to win a great award for it.”
“I was a bit busy at the time so I wasn’t able to make a proper acceptance speech,” he continued, “but I was very happy to win the award.” Also noting, that while he released “Seven” as a summer song, Jung Kook hopes “people can enjoy [it] all year round and throughout all seasons.”
Moving on to talk about his newest single, “3D” featuring Jack Harlow, Jung Kook admitted the song was made even more "brilliant" by the Kentucky rapper’s addition.
Described as an “R&B Pop song that tells a story of meeting someone in 3D to be always together with them,” Jung Kook revealed the song, “has a little bit of an older vibe, but also… a very sophisticated feel to it.”
Jung Kook also went on to share all about his admiration for his collab partner, and what it was like to work with Harlow. He and Julia also talked all about taking on TikTok challenges, his journey as a solo artists, and a whole lot more.
