Last year, BTS maknae Jungkook named J Balvin as one of three Latin artists he enjoys listening to. Shortly after, J. Balvin posted a story on Instagram with the caption “Jungkook is the vibe” with “Seven” playing.

Balvin also shared a mysterious post via X (formerly Twitter) a couple of days later. ARMYs noticed he used nothing but a peace sign and hand, which, when added up, can symbolize the number seven, which is heavily associated with BTS. This sparked collaboration rumors.
