💭 Thoughts on Seven - song and MV

Are you looking for someone to react to this with you? Are you wanting to hear someone else’s thoughts so you can organize your own? Here you go! This is gonna be a long one but I have thoughts to share! I’ve broken them down into categories…

The Song

Lo and behold, the horny anons were (a little bit) right! This song is definitely about sex! Lol.

I’m gonna need a few more listens to really solidify my opinion, but first few listen throughs and… I like it! It’s fast, its a little chaotic, but it’s still so melodic and pleasing to listen to, courtesy of Jung Kook’s impeccable vocals, as usual. It’s a lot more explicit than I was expecting, lmao, but we’ve been saying for a while that he’s a grown ass man. No serious person was out here thinking he doesn’t fuck. Is the song somewhat aspirational for him with the “every minute every hour” thing, considering he spends at least 2 hours at a time in the middle of the night making noodles with ARMY? Perhaps. But hey, most of us alosexuals can only dream of getting lucky seven days a week, so I don’t blame him for manifesting that energy. Also, he didn’t write it. So there’s that.

Concept & Video

My condolences to the horny anons for the lack of steamy, sexy scenes in the video (the scenes that the rest of us knew wouldn’t be there, and let’s be real Jung Kook singing about fucking somebody right is already probably the most his fans can take at any one time lmao. I’m sure there were ladies fainting at his GMA performance like they were front row watching Elvis swivel his hips in 1956).

I liked the video! It was fun, and unexpectedly funny; JK playing the part of a boyfriend so obsessed with his toxic relationship that he keeps chasing his poor woman down even after every breakup (and murder?) attempt, through these surreal settings that just show how chaotic and unstable their relationship is. Han So Hee was gorgeous and did a good job despite her character pretty much having the same reaction/feeling in every scene but the last. Jung Kook, as so many pointed out, did a pretty terrible job looking angry or frustrated at any point 🤣 but that wasn’t really the point — the point is his obsession with his partner and willingness to jump off of a literal gurney and right back into the same situation that put him there in the first place.

Which brings me to my one gripe about the concept of the video which is that…. It doesn’t really match the lyrics? It’s not like that’s unusual in the world of MVs and I don’t think videos always have to be a play by play of the song, but it does feel like an excellent execution of a concept that would have fit better with a song about obsessive love, being unable to stop falling into the same toxic patterns, etc. Instead the song is pretty purely about sex and romance. To be honest, a few scenes of them falling into bed together would probably have made a bit more sense, honestly, if that’s supposed to be the reason he can’t stay away from this woman who seems to want almost nothing to do with him, lol.

Overall the video was visually satisfying and interesting, and this moment actually made me laugh out loud, boy was in his goofy element for a moment:

Latto

I’ll start by saying I was very excited when I realized that she would be featuring. I know some people had complaints, others didn’t know who she was, but I very much do know who she is and love her sound, so I was jazzed. My one concern was that… Latto lovers don’t be mad, but in my opinion she doesn’t have a lot of on-screen charisma.

I think it’s because she’s still relatively new. She’s beautiful, but I’m not sure she knows what to do with it yet other than sensually touch herself and minutely dance. It’s reminiscent of Dua Lipa in the early days when she wasn’t really great at dancing but was thrust up in the spotlight surrounded by backup dancers (who lest we forget have typically been training in dance nearly all their lives). For Latto, if she has no interest in dancing, that’s totally fine. I don’t think she HAS to do it or be good at it, but then in that case, I would expect a bit more expressiveness in her face and actions. And maybe you totally disagree with me — feel free to watch the Big Energy video and decide for yourself. To me though, she doesn’t bring enough energy (lol). Basically the opposite of Jung Kook in the GMA performance (which he fucking owned 😩 the 90s boy band vibes, the way he held his own and actually drew my attention the entire time despite the immense talent of his backup dancers. Holy shit that boy is a star.)

And my initial excitement and concern about Latto pretty much held up. Her rap was good, a fun add to the song, and I think she nailed the energy and the rhythm and the vibe (seriously when will male rappers catch up? Women are the only ones I want featuring on pop songs from now on. They’re the only ones who understand how to stay on topic). That being said her feature in the video was… just okay? The funeral scene was one of the better ones because of the above moment I mentioned, so that saved it, but I wish she’d given a little more than just like…touches to her boobs, you know? But to be fair, that was in keeping with the song’s theme.

Overall it’s a job well done for her. I was bummed she couldn’t join him at GMA but baby rapper JK came out of hiding and did a few of her lines, which was fun. He did quite intentionally change out the pronoun from “him” to “her” which brings me to…

Does this song mean he’s announcing he’s straight?!

I feel like I’m going to get a lot of anons about this… or maybe not since their wild predictions of pornographic make out scenes didn’t happen, after all… but I feel like there will be a lot of people calling this his definitive “coming out” as a pussy-loving straight dude. And to that I say…

Maybe? Here are my thoughts on this in no particular order:

We always say to listen to the guys. I didn’t disregard it when he and Jimin chose not to change the pronouns in their cover of “We Don’t Talk Anymore” and I won’t disregard the fact that he did change them in his performance here. For whatever reason, he wanted this song and this performance to be about a woman.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but him making this single about a woman doesn’t necessarily mean he did it out of an obligatory need to appear straight in order to appease his oppressive government. Maybe he just wanted to make it about a woman. And just in case you forgot…

Liking, being interested in, and/or being sexually attracted to women doesn’t automatically make a man heterosexual. Jimin has been giving off flirty vibes to men AND women his entire career, and he still melts over Jung Kook like a bomb pop on the Fourth of July. You can be a man and like women and also like men and those things can coexist and there’s a word for that. It’s called being bisexual. Hi 👋 there’s lots of us out here, even though we tend to get drowned out and ignored, especially if and when we pursue relationships with the opposite sex. Let’s not do that so much anymore, yeah?

I’ve brought it up before and I’ll continue to; he was in Charlie Puth’s video as a very obvious love interest. Now he has a woman in his video as a love interest. Neither one cancels out the other. Neither one is a definitive confirmation of his sexuality.

Also like… maybe it is that he’s just closeted and doesn’t feel ready to share his sexuality and so he’s going with heteronormativity because it’s easy and less questions will be asked. Idk. It’s not really my business to know.

Regardless, all the holding-hands-with-an-actress-in-a-music video moments in the world can’t cancel out this:

He supported Jimin in all these ways with all this undeniable lovey-dovey energy all this time. I don’t think his feelings for that man have changed one iota, whether it’s a really tight friendship (with… ahem, undertones of longing and desire) or a bona fide relationship. Either way, I think they’re enjoying it. And I hope they have fun exploring New York together.

Oh and I know he didn’t write it but… you gotta appreciate the continuity of “give me a good ride” and “it’s the way that you can ride” 🤭🤭🤭🤭

OKAY I think that’s all my thoughts for now. What are YOUR thoughts??? Please share them. Please share them respectfully, whether you comment or message or send an ask. I’m all ears 😁

[jungwonieee]

another edit i made <33

i want him so baddd

[jeonbunnie]

just finished crying my eyes out to love is gone & why do i lowkey want oc to have a major glow up, run into jungkook months later & him realizing he made the biggest mistake of his life like i want him to grovel so bad for her just so he feels a little bit of what she felt … omg 😭

I can totally see it 😌

He runs into you six months later, and the realization hits him like a truck. He fucked up.

You're out with your friends sitting at the bar, looking hot as fuck in tight little number he'd love to peel off you if your were still his. But you're not. And the only person he has to blame for that is him.

And maybe he's had a few drinks, but all he can think about is how pretty you look. Your skin is glowing, and your smile is brighter than he's ever seen, radiant like the sun. Suddenly, it hits him that this smile is not for him. That you'd smile might never be his again, and he's desperate.

He'd do anything to have that kind of sunshine in his life again.

“(Y/n)?”

It's not even a choice to call your name. It just happens. And yeah, maybe he's a little drunk, and if he were sober, he'd have the decency to leave you alone, but he just can't.

One minute, you're locking eyes; the next, he's chasing after you in the crowd, asking you to wait, to just hear me out.

You don't stop for even a second. It's not until you're out of the club and halfway down the street that Jeongguk even manages to catch your jacket and bring you to a pause.

“(Y/n), please. Just wait—"

"What? What do you want, Jeongguk? What could you possibly want with me now?"

Jeongguk wants so much he doesn't know where to start. He tried to apologize, to tell you it was a mistake. He was so, so stupid to think he could ever live without you.

It's been a couple of months since Jeongguk left your bed and walked out of your life. The moment he left your side, he regretted it. And with every step he took away from you, the feeling of dread only got stronger.

He tried to brush it off, tried to reason it out. Things were still fresh; of course, he'd still feel an emotional connection to you. It would pass. Right?

Except it didn't. That empty, hollow, missing feeling didn't go away.

Not when he moved out. Not when he got his own empty, lonely apartment. Not even when Jeongguk tried dating again. Because no one he dated could compare to you.

That ache for you stayed. Always.

He wanted to tell you all of this, but he can't tell by the look on your face that he only has a couple of minutes—hell—seconds before you turn around and leave him behind. This time for good.

So Jeon Jeongguk kneeled, his knees pressing into the hard concrete beneath him. It was gravelly, and he could feel wet spots sink into his jeans from when it rained outside earlier, but he couldn't find it in himself to care about the mess.

All he cared about was you.

Jeongguk begs. "Please. Please give me another chance."

"What? You broke up with me, remember?" You moved to pull away, but Jeongguk held your hand, anything to keep you near.

"It was a mistake. Ending us was a mistake."

"Jeongguk… you're drunk. You won't even mean this in the morning."

"I mean it! I mean it."

I regret it every day." Jeongguk leaned forward, nuzzling his cheek against your thighs. Maybe it's a little pathetic, but he can't help himself; he needs to be close to you in any way he can. "Can't we just start over?"

"Jeongguk…"

Jeongguk looked up at you then, his nose red and his lashes wet with tears. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

He means it; he really does. Jeongguks hasn't been more sorry about anything in his life.

"If you give me another chance, I won't ever let you go again. Say yes. Please?"

Please, please, please?

[reflections-in-a-critical-eye]

I find it interesting how Jungkook's Seven is given the Dynamite treatment. The situation is sort of similar too. A full English song written by other people, given to an artist/group that had no contribution to it except recording it. It is gp and radio friendly, promoted extensively and spread throughout a longer period of time, a lot of versions that help get those records and a celebrated song thanks to its chart positions, including the no. 1 on BB 100. Army loved Dynamite and how it was handled. Any potential criticism was dismissed but now that the situation applies only to one member, all the strategies used for Seven (and Dynamite) are considered unfair.

Perhaps it's time to just accept that Jungkook was chosen to continue the BTS mid-range quality songs that they started putting out with Dynamite only to advance the position in the US with a GP. Someone has to carry the mediocrity torch until a possible comeback. Jungkook is exactly the figure that can do that. He can dance, sing, adapt to what is needed for a song and he's one of the most famous in the group, his Weverse numbers stand as the proof of that. BH is betting on the horse that has the highest chances of winning. He is the needed blank slate for the strategy.

This entire situation might sound ideal for some fans (including JK stans and those who wish the same treatment for other members as well). Others, perhaps, realize that getting a "Dynamite" treatment is nothing but pushing for commercial success and music cannot be only about that. There are songs and albums out there loved by millions of people that never got the highest on charts. Differential treatment should be pointed out, but an artist's career is more than numbers. They do matter, but if we're to focus mostly on that, we will forget about the artistry (if there is one) that in my view, should take the first place.

[cheeseceli]

Kpop men who are such devoted lovers. They would never give up on your love, they would chase it till they had it. At this point, they truly believe they were born to love you

"I promise I would love you right, I'd treat you like royalty"

- Hyunjin (skz), Jungkook (bts), Yeonjun (txt), Jeonghan (svt), Yunho (ateez), Han (skz), Beomgyu (txt),

[vidaknight]

Why do I feel like Blitzø would sing this song to Stolas:

(Note: The difference is that instead of 'loving' it's replaced with 'fucking' in the explicit version.)

[bookscandlesnbts]

One of the things that I have been struggling to figure out regarding JK’s preferred way to solo debut is the timing. With military service eminent and probably very soon, what was the reason to try to launch a huge solo career when he will be out of the minds of the general public for 18 months and then reunited with his band mates after??? Something the general public has already made it clear they don’t have any space or respect for, BTS. It just doesn’t make sense. I get the ambition he has at his own personal level but this as a strategy? What is it actually accomplishing?

I had an anon comment about how they believe JK was pushed into going this route by Hybe and a person whose name goes by a method of transportation. I don’t think that necessarily. The truth is always somewhere in the gray. We saw JK going from sad and lonely on his couch to living his best introvert life on the couch exercising and eating chicken and flirting with Jimin in his lives. For the most part, he seemed happy to get a break. Part of me wonders if he kind of was burnt out creatively, says to his team I have nothing in the tank, nothing I want to write or say, so this was the compromise? I don’t think he’s completely comfortable in this solo era. He’s nervous to perform, he’s nervous about his English. He’s separated from his support system.

I think the truth us probably somewhere in the gray. JK probably does want to try different styles, push himself further, but I also think he may have not been ready and was nudged to do this now because it’s the perfect opportunity with bandmates already serving. These are just my thoughts. While I adore the black and white couple, I hate black and white thinking. That’s not reality. It’s not all in that JK wanted to be a huge pop star and get fed songs from Western producers and features form artists he barely knows and hasn’t been vocal about even liking unlike Charlie Puth, but it’s not the complete opposite either that he is being controlled and forced to do this by Hybe ect. This is all my rumination and opinion. Feel free to take it for what it’s worth which is nothing because I’m just a no body fan, but there is an element to this that I will repeat again: feels forced.

[hearthvkoo]

I just saw on Twitter that someone brought up this topic but in my opinion this can't just be a simple coincidence.

I could understand if the t-shirt in question had been very popular at the time, so it would be normal to see it worn by many people but It's not the case.

It was a shirt of a specific brand not very popular at time or worn by everybody, and the fact that it was worn by them on the same day in two different countries makes me suspect that it is not a coincidence at all.

Maybe Jungkook already knew in advance what he would wear since they usually have fitting sessions to see what to wear on set, and maybe Tae decided (after jk showed to him) to buy the same one as if they could somehow be "closer" even if far away.

Idk maybe I'm just delusional and imagining it all.

[eightspringdays]

me, listening seven, thinking is the clean version: night after night, I will be Loving you---

jungkook, for some reason: NO. I WILL BE FUCKING YOU RIGHT. FUCKING YOU. FUCKING !!!!

[struggle-but-its-all-ocean-floor]

Well, disappointed but not surprised… I was one of your previous who didn’t like Seven (but really liked the MV) but this is way worse. It’s once again all about showing a more mature side yada yada but I see no maturity here, quite the contrary. I’ll keep loving Jungkook because I want to believe it’s just a phase but wow, such a waste of talent…

I think I know who you are? But more than one anon has said they only liked the Seven MV...

I don't know if it's a phase, and, yeah, he really looks juvenile instead of mature, but at this point he's strongly reminding me of Miley in her Bangerz era (but way tamer). I doubt he'll keep making this kind of music forever, and it won't work as he ages anyway, but it is a waste of talent. He's doing great in terms of numbers, so from that pov his talents are not being wasted. And Seven and 3D also have sections that showcase his vocals well, thankfully, but not really his versatility or chest voice? It's pretty much just his pop vocals.

Thanks for the ask!

[mikeeel]
