Netizens have speculated if Jeon Jungkook’s latest release, ‘Seven,’ was influenced by Imelda Papin’s classic hit, ‘Isang Linggong Pag-ibig.’
As BTS member Jungkook released his long-awaited solo track ‘Seven,’ fans immediately began drawing comparisons to Imelda Papin’s renowned OPM classic, ‘Isang Linggong Pag-ibig.’
The sentimental ballad not only ignited nostalgic feelings among listeners but also prompted discussions on the similarities in their exploration of love and devotion.
‘Seven’ features a collaboration with the Grammy-nominated rapper Latto. Known for her chart-topping hit ‘Big Energy,’ which reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, Latto’s contribution adds an extra flair to the track.

What sets ‘Seven’ apart is that the entire song is sung in English, giving fans a chance to fully immerse themselves in the heartfelt lyrics.
The song revolves around the theme of wholeheartedly loving someone ‘seven days a week,’ conveying a powerful message of unwavering commitment and affection.
The music video showcases Jungkook as a determined protagonist pursuing his romantic interest played by the talented actress Han So-hee, known for her role in the acclaimed drama series ‘The World of the Married.’
Despite encountering constant disagreements and facing apparent indifference from his partner, the protagonist remains steadfast in his pursuit of their love.
The video highlights the protagonist’s determination and refusal to give up, portraying a story of resilience in the face of challenges.
On the other hand, ‘Isang Linggong Pag-ibig’ has consistently resonated with music enthusiasts throughout the years.
Originally released in 1979, the song swiftly soared to the top of the charts, solidifying Imelda Papin’s status as one of the most celebrated voices in the Philippine music scene.
Its popularity has cemented its place in the hearts of fans, making it a classic.
