The BTS member Jungkook dropped two singles in 2023 as a solo artist, which helped him achieve his most recent feat of becoming the first Asian solo artist to simultaneously chart three songs on the Spotify Global Chart. As of October 22, 2023, three songs by the singer—SEVEN, 3D, and TOO MUCH—are charting simultaneously in the Top 10 of the Spotify Global Chart, which is a first in the history of the music streaming platform.
Fans from across the world are praising the BTS maknae for creating a historic record. One ARMY, @homeisjungkook, commented on the same by saying,
"MY JUNGKOOK IS SUCH A A STAR."
This marks the first time in history that a Korean-born musician has attained such a significant milestone and also became the first Asian act in the world to do so. SEVEN has over 6,063,990 streams, while 3D has surpassed 4,484,149 streams on Spotify. Meanwhile, TOO MUCH, a single by The Kid LAROI, that featured Jungkook alongside Central Cee, has surpassed over 4,361,378 streams.

The 26-year-old singer from BTS is well-known for his other solo tracks such as Still With You, Euphoria, and Stay Alive. However, SEVEN marked his debut single as a Korean solo artist. The track went on to create history, as it debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at No.1 and reigned there for seven consecutive weeks.
SEVEN also won the MTV Video Music Awards' Song of Summer category on September 12, 2023. Additionally, 3D (feat. Jack Harlow) made it to No.1 on the Billboard Global Excluding United States charts on October 9, 2023, as well as on the Billboard Global 200 Singles chart.
