Jungkook Audacy Check-in full interview

29 September 2023

A little more from JK about the song and his upcoming album (not really, lol).

What you can take from the interview is that he isn't working on writing lyrics at the moment. And question is, does that mean all the songs on his album are written by others?

Once thing for sure.

JK's solo album is on it's way.

Waking up to this great news! Yes finally!

Hoping for his own music amongst 3D and Seven ofcourse. We know he´s capable of doing that and everyone would love it. Can´t wait to hear it.

Our "golden" maknae 💜

A Golden star indeed. Well done, JK. Well done!

Watching the replay now and it is heartbreaking that the guys are going away when performing on stage is like breathing for them. But hopefully after this period in their lives, everything will be smooth-sailing moving forward.

Sharing also some of the screenshots I captured during last Monday’s broadcast.

Which members promotions were your favorite so far? Hobi might win for me because that listening party was super fun and Lollapalooza was crazy. Also More sits at the same table as SMFpt2 for me as far as being really shocking and exciting when it dropped!

Hi Anon!

Nothing beats Yoongi’s D-DAY tour for me. My god what an experience. I was fortunate to attend multiple stops and I still have fever dreams in the middle of the day remembering how hard I was screaming along to Burn It and Huh, how my friend burst into tears during Snooze, how I choked up a bit during Life Goes On and finally lost it on The Last. The encore tours gave me the emotional equivalent of a blood transfusion. Seeing Jimin, Namjoon, and Jungkook on stage in a proper concert setting for the first time in almost a year, was really the best parting gift and I’ll always be grateful to Yoongi for it. I love that man very, very much.

That cute practice session Yoongi did for the ‘I’m so cute’ or whatever challenge with Jimin too, subbing ARMYs with screaming plushies and the live he did reading fan messages teasing us about his seven tattoo… and then that cheeky reveal after the tour ended…

Yoongi gave me everything and more with his album and the tour.

Other members too:

- SeokJin going to Argentina to promote The Astronaut with Coldplay was incredible. The planning and organizing behind that feat couldn’t have been easy but somehow they made it work and LatAm ARMYs were finally able to see at least one Tannie for the first time in a long while. That really was amazing.

- Taehyung’s Tiny Desk performances are 🤌🏽

- I loved how Jimin really thought outside the box with his promotions, choosing to go on many really fun Korean variety shows. These are shows BTS either hadn’t done ever or in something like 5 years. A lot of my K-ARMY friends loved how Jimin seemed to prioritize them fully in ways that hadn’t been done for a while.

- I tried hard to attend Joon’s small concert but work commitments didn’t allow that possibility, but I also really love his promotion choices. My partner (surprisingly) has become a tiny bit obsessed with Joon’s Tiny Desk performance lol, so I suspect Joon has gained a new fan.

- Think I’ve already talked about how Hobipalooza was the concert highlight of 2022 for me. Hobi had such a short time to put everything together, and I’m proud of him for going out of his comfort zone a bit sending out invites and throwing the launch party. I loved seeing him just celebrate his success, seeing the other members chill out and have a good time.

- It was nice seeing that at least one member did not forget Europe exists with their promotions (😭), so I’m glad Jungkook could make the trip over to promote Seven in the UK.

The rapline’s album projects are easily some of the best releases this year in any genre for me. And I’m not even trying to be biased. Corroborated by critics reviews, each album is a solid, cohesive, and cerebrally stimulating piece of art and I’m so proud of them for putting it together. It’s easy to see how BTS has become the biggest band in the world when you have these three men who can stand as respected artists in their own right, being the bedrock of the music created by BTS for the last 10 years.

Jimin’s debut with FACE ended k-pop in 2023. I’m not sure if you’re aware, but the industry as we know it, life as we know it, Jimin as we knew him, ended in March 2023. What Jimin did with Set Me Free Pt 2 still gives me goosebumps when I think about it. That song was a warning shot, a small mercy to the industry to warn them in advance of who Jimin is prepared to become as a solo artist and as Jimin of BTS, and I cannot overstate how excited I am for his next project. FACE as an album is the complete package. His songs are just good. Like, actually good. Good enough to play anywhere and any time. That’s the kind of music Jimin makes. Imagine hearing Face-off in a concert arena… imagine hearing the intro play before he comes on stage. Can you even imagine….

Lol I’m starting to hurt myself with these imagines.

Taehyung’s album too is very good (though these days it only gets plays from me in the evenings). And while Seven isn’t my favorite release, it’s still a well made song that Jungkook of course has done a phenomenal job with. Twice now he’s had to promote it outdoors in very bad weather and he’s kept his vocals stable and well projected. He’s working hard and I’m hoping it translates well into work done for his solo album debut later this year.

I have almost no complaints in the debut solo showcases from all the members, in their promotion styles, and in the overall presentation. These albums were all very decent and respectable first showings from the members of the biggest group in the world. The response from the general public and professional critics has been very favourable, and the fandom has supported each member to be as successful as one would expect for anyone from BTS.

I’m a very happy ARMY in Chapter 2 ^_^

Jungkook's been working hard!

JK the perfectionist. Always. It's hard-wired in him, for sure.

After his performance at GCF in NY, and his live performance in London, I had a feeling that we would be getting an even higher level of vocal work from JK. He was pitchy, as they say, which is hard for someone like him to accept from himself.

He had been challenged by that awful cold that made it hard to breathe, much less sing. AND, it made it hard for him to hear himself clearly, too. A tough combination for a Singer/Performer who is a perfectionist at heart.

As a musician or singer, you know that as soon as that note leaves your mouth, your instrument (stringed, wind, keyboard, etc.), if it is the right note. Your ear knows, before anything else. By the time that awareness hits (a millisecond later), it is too late to adjust it (to fix it!). Yeah.

For the perfectionist, it is never acceptable to hit any note that is in any way off key. Slightly sharp or slightly flat, it is critical to the perfectionist. It does matter.

Watching Jungkook in this iHeart Radio performance a couple of times, you can clearly hear how he has worked HARD to stay in key, with every note, in this performance. He knows when to drop out as the recording plays along. Then, when it is his voice live, it in on! He sounds great!

He's talked about how hard it has been to sing in English. He's talked about how hard the "r" is, and how sometimes a letter is pronounced and sometimes it isn't. English is a hard language to learn and speak correctly, when one's birth language is so different.

Add in the variety of accents that he's been exposed to, in his travels, in the recording studios, and every time he's been with English-speaking people. Brian Puspos, Jack Harlow, and Chris Martin have very different English accents, for an example. It can be really hard for the non-native English ear to hear the differences and to understand what people are saying clearly. Not to mention the slang that some use, in communicating. Is it "tomato" or "tomato"? Spelled the same, but the US and UK pronounce it very differently.

Jungkook has worked so hard, on every level that is necessary, to create music for this album. Hi vocal abilities have improved 10-fold, his English enunciation has improved 10-fold, and his ability to do it all while adding in the choreo....

Yeah. Jungkook has worked his butt off.

ARMYs know what he's navigated since he debuted at 15. Now it's time for the rest of the world to learn about Jeon Jungkook, and to understand just how amazing, gifted, humble, and hard-working he truly is. 💜🐰💜

What a nice gift today

Many thanks to whoever made the decision to gift us today’s Bangtan episode...

I present to you...Yoongi’s hair:

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Jin knows what the deal is... real-time is the real deal.

Jungkookie focusing on self-improvement... he is determined to get that left hand up-to-speed for drumming. 

My wishlist for the future Bangtan: them playing instruments on stage while performing a song...not all of them have to be playing an instrument but at least Yoongi on guitar, JK on drums...it would be such a different vibe and dynamic for them. They did it a few times when JK played drums briefly during songs, but I mean a REAL new song that they purposely mean to perform while playing instruments. That’s my wish. Of course along with all my other wishes of them coming out of their service healthy and ready to come back to us. Let’s begin manifesting. We have two and half years to make it so.

Jimin and Jungkook’s giddy laughter while being silly backstage trying to release some pent-up energy:

Jikook just jikooking as usual. Already saw someone complaining because this episode did not focus on any other pairs...what do you want? for the others to fake it? When the chemistry is real, it’s always there...can’t hide it, IT’S ALWAYS THERE... 

Much deserved and I know they felt our love while receiving these awards. 

You can take the boy out of Busan but you can’t take the Busan out of the boys:

I love them to pieces...

#busan boys #our sweet jin #yoongi's hair needs its own instagram #manifesting bangtan band #jikook just jikooking #get over it #jungkook's self-improvement involves learning to snowboard #he said there are a lot of things he wants to try #now is the time kookie #go for it #won't be surprised if his album promotions include tour of meat restaurants #!!!!!! but what about yoongi's solo involving guitar playing???? #also jk getting his motorcycle driver's license

[rantingravingliving]

JK, just stop.

You have been on a wrecking rampage since Seven and just stop. Please.

I beg you. I just need to unclench my fist that I have shoved in my mouth every time you photos like this

and this

and this

and my favorite so far

Fck, you really look good in this suit with the pearls. Ugh.

So, JK, please. I've been seeing your tiddies so much these days I feel I am ready to get intimate with them already.

Like, "hello?"

"Do you want a drink or something?"

Damn it, JK.

P.S.

Even with this bare torso and all, his face is so baby. I mean there;s just a disconnect with his bulky figure and baby face.

Like:

Will never get rid of Baby Star Candy. Sorry, cutie.

#jungkook #oh hey jk #golden coming soon #golden concept photos #jk solo album golden #will always be baby star candy #but with bare chest and all #and his arms! #and his itsy bitsy waist #jk x vogue korea

[beautifulpersonpeach]

BPP, am really really interested to read your thoughts on Seven!

*

Ask 2: Hey bpp, can i be honest?? Ive been checked out of the fandom but still keep track of any music releases. So i didnt know abt any rumors abt 7. Imagine me being kind of disappointed that it’s another english song from jk when i watched the mv😅 it feels like his most promoted songs since last year has been all eng song… idk i wanted & expted something diff… i didnt like l&r, dreamers and now 7… it’s back to back lol. Tbf i didnt like My You too and thats in korean. At least not enough to listen!again after the first listen.

Im happy that still with you is finally on spotify tho. I’ll still be waiting excited for his album whenever it comes out. Hopefully ill find something i like in it!!

**

[BPP Note: Both asks above were sent before my "I don't like it..." post. The asks posted below were sent afterwards.]

**

Ask 3:

Same here

All the hype didn't matched with the song

1. rest members songs had so much depth and substance to it while this was the cliche boy chasing a girl song. Like we always dont need deep songs but the quality could be so much better. This was like just another pop song.

I think I'll put this on same level as BAD DECISIONS. But for bad decisions, atleast the chorus was staying on my mind while for this nothing was catchy enough for us to humm. Just because it's JK it will get hype but otherwise it's so generic. I think I liked LEFT and RIGHT way better than Seven. Even the rap portion felt so unnecessary and boring.

2. MV was kinda nice because of the production but concept was too shallow, the stalking and chasing was so outdated. In my country we have like 9293928843837 MVs in this same concept that not many make the same theme songs again.

3. The choreography. We haven't seen the full version. But for tiktok they do the highlight portions if that's so mediocre idk how rest will be. It was again giving the same mediocre showing off choreography and for me backdancers ruined it with their awkward moves.

4. they wanted this song to be played everywhere around the world. But there was nothing catchy enough to attract gp or go viral on tiktok, even if we sped it up. The only way to make everyone listen is to shove it down their throat but doing payola. But idk if investing in payola is worthy for the song. I also doubt the longietivity, as for me it was boring after 2 listens. I'll rather listen Like Crazy or wildflower or closer 20 times than listening this once.

5. I HOPE he'll bring something fresh to the table for his album and don't involve this mediocre producers who uses the same formula and same superstar persona to make a song successful. He is so much talented to sing a song which is so rich in melody and lyrics. And he can produce way better songs by himself.

Prolly a 4/10 for me

*

Ask 4: troye sivan's rush (which also came out last night) is exactly what I wish Seven was. I don't mean that in a 'I expect the things JK to make to be gay' way just in the way it's a fun, very danceable, sexy summer song that doesn't pull its punches. Something about seven feels too run through a commercial sanitizer a few times, even with the explicit lyrics.

Hi Anon(s),

Jungkook likes to fuck.

Rather, Andrew Watt likes to fuck and thinks Jungkook can relate.

JK has been talking about wanting to show more mature and explicit sides of himself for a good long while now. So I’m glad he’s finally gotten to do that, confirming for us why he keeps getting noise complaints from his neighbours since the mattresses all over his apartment don't help.

BTS has made songs explicitly referring to sex before (though it's been mostly the rapline doing so). So it's nothing new but I guess it's cool JK gets to share with us that he too has sex.

The question I posed to my friends immediately after watching the MV is, “Do you know who's been doing A&R for BigHit since 2020? I really need to know who is doing A&R for BigHit in America because they’ve been doing an appalling job lately. I'm starting to wonder if it's an inside job cause this song is kinda ass.”

That was me ~11 hours ago.

I didn’t like the song.

I’ve streamed Seven about 20 times since then I think, took a break from the song for a few hours, watched his GMA performance, caught a few minutes of the Wlive, then listened to it again just before writing this post and…

I still don’t like it.

Jungkook did a good job on the song, Latto's verse wasn't terrible, and while the song itself isn’t bad… the song isn’t good either.

It’s painfully, and at this point it’s a pattern so I have to add, predictably, mediocre.

Reserving judgement for the album, but Anons, I agree with you for the most part. The suits at BigHit are trying but they are woefully out of touch with the reasons BTS blew up in the West in the first place. I don't even feel like spending any energy doing a review or even trying to explain what I mean. So I'll just ramble on for a bit but try to keep it brief.

---

I have to give BigHit some credit because I can see what they're going for here. Andrew Watt is a very celebrated producer in the US, he won the Grammy award for Producer of the Year in 2021, he's got A listers in his portfolio. So, he's not a cheap name to book and I can see why the suits at BigHit thought he's the genius to gift them a song clinically designed for American radio.

But that pandejo phoned it in. There isn't a lick of creativity to be found anywhere in all 3 minutes and five seconds.

It reminds me of VIBE by Jimin and Taeyang, as the closest analog to the vague dissatisfaction morphing into annoyance and then pragmatic rationalization I experienced in that same sequence when listening to it the first few times.

The song is disappointing because we've all heard it before. Too many times, and we're bored of it. We've heard JK sing this sort of song for years, as covers mostly. So on one hand, while I guess it's nice JK gets to have an American summer JB-reject pop tune of his own, it's not good enough to be the track that introduces him to the world as a solo artist.

It's fine for any white, blonde, blue-eyed heartthrob that can ride on a pretty face and implicit bias to rack up accolades, it's not good enough for Jungkook.

And BigHit needs to start using whatever leverage a US$10.6 billion market capitalization buys you in Hollywood, to insist for songs that are at least as good as the songs made by BTS members and produced by their in-house team. It's a waste of money and everybody's time to fly a battalion to LA just to record 2014's summer hit in 2023.

In my opinion.

Still With You > Stay Alive > My Time > Stay > Left & Right > My You > Dreamers > Seven

*

All that said, I can't ignore JK has a taste for songs like this, and it's not his fault the song is shit (he didn't write, compose or produce it), so technically he shouldn't be punished for it. And the song is made for radio, while it's not my personal taste a lot of people really like the song (one of my friends likes Seven the most out of all the BTS releases so far), and it will catch on with some support. So, ARMY will support it including me, just to a lesser degree than I've done so far. Fingers crossed JJK1 has something solid on it.

#For people who wanted by opinion on Angel Pt 1 #take the latter sections of this post as one reason I'm not a fan of that song #Seven could've been fine as track seven on the album as an interlude or something #Not as the introductory single to JK's solo debut #Lol what a joke #Anyway #bts #jungkook #jeon jungkook #bangtan #bighit #hybe #bts fandom #bts army #JK Seven

Jungkook’s vibrato in “Standing Next To You” is next level. You can hear the vocal control he has developed.

With a musician’s ear, it’s impossible to not hear how he has continued to hone his skills. It’s like a Painter who continually learns how to create more variations of colors on his palate... Jungkook does this with his vocal cords.

What I hear is a refinement in his vibrato, and an ability to change it based upon the needs of the song. Many Vocalists cannot do that, at this level. It is an amazing skill.

Lots are mentioning MJ, when they speak about “Standing Next To You”, and I’m going to join them. The vibrato JK is using in this track is very similar to MJ’s. I personally LOVE IT.

It’s just so freaking cool and amazing to witness this Jeon Jungkook.

I can’t wait to see and hear what else he has in store! 💜
