On August 1, Forbes, an American economic media outlet, paid attention to Jung Kook's move, releasing "BTS Star Jung Kook's Debut Is Already A Historic Win On The Pop Radio Chart".

The media noted that Jung Kook achieved another historic milestone with his debut solo single, 'Seven,' dominating the Hot 100.

It also explained that 'Seven' made waves on the Pop Airplay chart, entering at an impressive No. 33 out of 40 spots, immediately securing its place as the fourth-highest-charting song by aouth Korean solo artist in the chart's history. Forbes also mentioned singer Psy. Psy's 'Gangnam Style' reached a peak position of No. 10. Psy holds the current record for the highest-charting track on the Pop Airplay chart by a South Korean musician working independently.

Jung Kook, already having enjoyed success on the Pop Airplay chart, follows closely behind with his collaboration with Charlie Puth, "Left and Right," which reached No. 11, narrowly missing the top 10. Neverthless, Forbes stated that it is expected to ascend even higher once Billboard updates its lists, which are currently delayed due to a processing issue.

Forbes focused on whether Jung Kook can set another milestone in K-pop history by surpassing Psy's record with his solo single 'Seven'.

Meanwhile, on July 14, Jung Kook released his first solo single 'Seven' to the world and embarked on a solo career. 'Seven' features acoustic guitar and garage-rhythm beats from the United Kingdom in the 1990s.
