Jungkook, currently serving in the military, also became the first and only K-pop soloist to spend an entire year on the Spotify Daily Top Artists Global Chart. His song Seven is the Most Streamed Song by an Asian Soloist in Spotify history.

BTS' Jungkook now boasts holding the most streamed album and song by an Asian Soloist on the music platform. All these feats poured in on the same day, adding further to the K-pop phenomenon's growing triumphs.
