BTS’s Jung Kook is making a strong debut in his solo career in the UK with his song “Seven” challenging for the top spot on the charts. Released under BigHit Entertainment, the track is just 2,000 chart sales behind the current leader, Dave and Central Cee’s “Sprinter.”
“Seven” has the potential to achieve something no other member of BTS has done before – reaching the summit of the UK singles chart. While all seven members of BTS have released solo material, Jung Kook is on track to make history with this accomplishment.
