More about BTS Jungkook's solo endeavors
The youngest member of BTS, Jeon Jungkook, embarked on his solo endeavor by featuring in Charlie Puth's single, Left And Right, which was released on June 24, 2022. Later, he recorded the official FIFA World Cup song, Dreamers, and performed at the opening ceremony in November.
The BTS idol released his debut solo single, SEVEN (feat. Latto), on July 14, and 3D (feat. Jack Harlow), on October 28, 2023, which led to the release of his debut solo album, GOLDEN. The album was dropped on November 3, and the two singles were included in the set as pre-release tracks.
SEVEN also debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became the second K-pop and Korean soloist—after BTS' Jimin—to top the chart. The Hate You singer became the first K-pop and Korean soloist to chart his song at the top of the Hot 100 for seven weeks in a row.
Jungkook's album title track, Standing Next To You, also entered at No. 1 on Billboard’s Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts. Earlier, SEVEN and 3D topped both of these charts. He became the first Korean and K-pop soloist to chart three different songs at No. 1 on both charts.
GOLDEN included 11 songs and acquired the top 8 ranks in the Top 10 US iTunes chart on the day of its release. He became the first K-pop artist to dominate the US iTunes Top 10 in the entire history of the chart.
On Spotify, he became the first musician in the world and the first K-pop soloist to surpass 1 billion streams on Spotify with his song, SEVEN. In October 2023, the BTS idol surpassed Miley Cyrus' song, Flowers, by achieving this feat in 108 days.
Currently, BTS' Jungkook is serving in the South Korean military to fulfill his mandatory conscription. In South Korea, every male citizen between 18 and 30 has to serve a mandatory period of 18 to 21 months in the military (Army, Marines, and Air Force).
