It comes as no surprise for ARMYS, as the K-pop idol has been known for having immense power to influence Kookies (his solo stans) in hoarding the same products he usually uses.
During his livestream on Vlive back in March 2021, Jungkook introduced TEAZEN's Kombucha tea to his fans when one of them asked him what he was drinking. A week later, the Korean tea brand revealed that the tea's sales increased by 50%.
Apart from that, the 25-year-old idol was spotted wearing Prada's chunky sole combat boots during one of BTS' live broadcasts. It was not long after when ARMYs wiped out the stocks of the same boots on Parda's website.
The release of Jungkook's new solo single Seven comes eight months after the BTS member collaborated with Qatari artist Fahad Al-Kubaisi for Dreamers, the official theme song of 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
