On July 14, 2023, he dropped his first solo song SEVEN with Latto, which claimed No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. His song became the quickest single in history to achieve 1 billion plays on Spotify.

He was dubbed the biggest K-Pop artist in America after securing the top spot on the first-ever Billboard K-Pop Artist 100 list. The BTS singer became the first K-pop male soloist to win the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards, the 2023 MTV Europe Music Awards, and the 2023 Billboard Music Awards altogether.
