BTS' Jungkook’s fans lauded the recognition that the singer received as the "music king." Consequently, the K-pop idol's supporters took to social media to celebrate the artist's recent award and acclaim.
“LOUDER for the people at the back,” commented an X user.
Many other reactions from Jungkook's fans were seen online. While some hailed the singer as "The KING," others called him "GLOBAL POP STAR." Some praised Jungkook for being recognized as an Asian solo artist rather than a Korean soloist.
“WoW, well deserved!! The KING!!” a fan commented.

“Spilling facts!” exclaimed a fan.
“The biggest and most successful Kpop soloist! He's dubbed as the Main Pop Boy of this generation for reason. Did that with only his debut song and debut album! We're definitely not ready for that JJK2,” stated another admirer.
“For fellow jjks who found the word undisputed to be quite hard to understand /like i did/... It's 'unchallenged, undoubted, unquestioned' so there you go!!” another fan commented.
