Jung Kook made history and established himself as a proper superstar earlier this year with his single “Seven,” which became a massive smash all around the world. Now, the singer is hoping to claim one more huge win with another numerically-named single.
The BTS musician has announced his next single, a tune titled “3D,” and the track is set to arrive on Friday, September 29. It is being labeled as his second solo single, even though he released several songs before he officially broke out on his own as the band that made him a star is on a small hiatus.
“3D” will be a solo Jung Kook single, but he’s not actually alone on the title. The track will also feature rapper Jack Harlow. “Seven” featured hip-hop musician Latto, so this is tried-and-true territory for the BTS singer.
Jung Kook teased the new song during his performance at the 2023 Global Citizen Festival this past weekend. He treated those in attendance and fans watching around the world to a video that suggested that something new was on the way. It didn’t take long for the topic to go viral online, and shortly after Jung Kook finished his set, his record label confirmed the news.
Big Hit Music, the company behind BTS and its members, posted on the social media platform Weverse the following statement, giving fans a bit more information about “3D” before it arrives: “Jung Kook’s second solo single, ‘3D (feat. Jack Harlow),’ is a Pop R&B track with clever expressions of feelings toward an unattainable person from the perspectives of first, second, and third dimensions. Get ready to meet an even more mature side of Jung Kook.”
“3D” follows in the footsteps of “Seven,” which further introduced Jung Kook to the world as a solo star outside of BTS. The song debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100, making him only the second South Korean solo musician to top the tally. He joined his bandmate Jimin in the feat, who had accomplished it a few weeks prior. “Seven” has been falling on the Hot 100 since it debuted, but it has been performing exceptionally well on Billboard’s international rankings, proving that Jung Kook maintains a huge global following.
