In a monumental moment for both BTS' Jung Kook and the K-pop industry, September 9, 2023, marked the day when the BTS star achieved one of the biggest milestones of his career. He became the only soloist to claim the title of having the most music show wins of the decade for his single, Seven.
The significance of this achievement cannot be overstated, especially considering that Seven marked Jung Kook's first official foray into the world of solo music.
Fans, in particular, were overjoyed and couldn't contain their excitement as they witnessed their beloved artist break new ground in his career. With the twelfth win for Seven, achieved on the Music Core show, the song's tally of victories reached an unprecedented milestone.
What's particularly noteworthy is that the Calvin Klein ambassador's accomplishment surpassed that of K-pop icon IU, who previously held the record for the most wins as a soloist with 11 victories.

The previous record holders in earlier decades included PSY's revolutionary Gangnam Style in 2010–2019 and Invisible Love by Enigma in 1990–1999.
It's worth noting that Jung Kook's group, BTS, holds the record for the most music show wins for a song (32), giving us a hint of their worldwide fanbase. Their unmatched success has paved the way for Jung Kook's solo career, and he's certainly living up to the high standards set by the group.
