“To see everybody's reaction to my verse and how much they love it, it's so fulfilling. Hopefully I get to go to Korea soon.”

Previously, ARMYs found a karmic “seven” connection between BTS’ Jungkook and Latto. Fans found out that Latto’s last release, which was also her second studio album, was called 777. ARMYs are aware that the number 7 is very special to the BTS members. There are seven members in BTS, and they have also gotten the number tattooed on their bodies as a sign of their everlasting friendship.

Additionally, SEVEN was released on July 14, numerically written 14/7, again connected to seven as 14 is a sum of two 7s. Interestingly, her real name is Alyssa Michelle Stephens, and she chose Latto as her stage name as it has a direct reference to casinos and winning a lottery when one hits the lucky number 777.
