BTS Jungkook's new solo 'SEVEN' was recently released creating waves across the globe. However, BTS ARMY expressed concern that the singer was not properly credited for the official music video and performance music video of the same.

Now, BTS' official agency BigHit Music confirmed that the group member has been properly credited for the song which featured actress Han So-hee alongside him. The song also features rapper Latto.

According to a report in the Hindustan Times, BTS ARMY looked worried about Jungkook not getting proper credit as the artist of the music video with the song being listed under Jungkook's zero-point ranking breakdown for YouTube. As it is one of the categories which is taken into consideration for Billboard's Hot 100 chart. It is also said that the music video was credited under Hybe instead of Jungkook.

However, BigHit Music soon clarified and stated, "The artist name for the Seven music video as well as the performance video is correctly registered as Jungkook in the YouTube system. There are no issues with the YouTube data count as well."

Fans took to Twitter and spoke about Jungkook not getting the credits, as one Twitter user wrote, "Hi @BIGHIT_MUSIC @GeffenRecords, although the videos count for charts, Jungkook is not properly credited in the video descriptions, which is making fans worried and wasting precious time of supporting Seven, so please change it like in all the other MVs in the channel! Thank you!"

Another tweet read, "@BIGHIT_MUSIC, @GeffenRecords, please properly credit Jungkook in the YouTube video descriptions. BTS & HYBE aren't artists on the song! To be missing artist details for a company of this stature is unprofessional and questionable!" A Twitter user said, "Why are Jungkook's points for YouTube and Deezer both 0? This is still very concerning and can have a severe impact on the charts!"
