Jungkook makes Spotify history

Jungkook’s debut solo album may be released on November 3rd, but the singer has already managed to become the most streamed Korean soloist of all time on Spotify. Yes, you read that right! With his digital singles Seven, 3D, Dreamers and more, the BTS star surpassed 2.8 billion streams and dethroned his bandmate Suga aka Agust D to take the top spot.

ARMYs rushed to celebrate Jungkook’s latest feat! Dubbing him the “King of Spotify,” one fan wrote, “The fact that Jungkook was already the MOST streamed K-pop soloist in Spotify history even before his own album became one of the biggest achievements ever. 2 weeks before his own solo album and 7 songs released!” Another added, “Jungkook got his Spotify page in February 2022 with the release of Stay Alive. Yesterday he became the #1 most popular Korean and K-pop soloist in Spotify history in just 20 months and with only 7 songs. So proud!”

Jungkook’s professional life

In July 2023, Jungkook made his solo debut with his digital single Seven. Following this, the BTS star released his second single 3D and his collaboration single Too Much with The Kid Laroi and Central Cee. After much fanfare, the singer finally announced that he will be releasing his first solo album, Golden, on November 3 this year. If reports are to be believed, Jungkook’s solo album will be entirely in English. In addition, he is also planning to hold his first solo concert in Seoul on November 20th.
