BTS's Jungkook expressed his desire to be a singer who can showcase a variety of colors.

In a recent interview with the U.S. radio station '103.5 KISSFM', Jungkook discussed 'Seven', saying, "I wanted to try a cool love song. I felt that the seasonal vibe matched perfectly, and I had a strong desire to share a song that many could enjoy."

Regarding his 'personal goals as a solo artist', Jungkook began with a hint of contradiction, saying, "Of course, it's essential to have a distinct color, and I want that. But at the same time, I want to be a singer who can showcase various colors."

He continued, "I want to explore various genres, styles, lyrics, and voices. I'm curious and want to challenge how far I can go," raising expectations for the diverse musical endeavors he might undertake in the future.

When asked about the image that comes to mind when he thinks of 'ARMY', Jungkook responded, "Simply put, I could describe it as 'light', but it's an indescribable feeling." He likened his fans to a 'light'. He added, "Love is love, but it's hard to define. Their presence is immense. There was a time when I was struggling, but seeing ARMY helped me rise again. That's why I can call them my light," expressing his profound love for his fans.

Meanwhile, Jungkook has been nominated for the 'Best Song' category with his first solo single 'Seven' at the 'MTV EMA 2023', Europe's largest music awards ceremony, set to take place in Paris this November. Jungkook has received the most nominations for a K-pop solo artist in three categories, including 'Best Kpop' and 'Biggest Fans'.
