Along with this, Jungkook's total solo song streams have surpassed 9.4 billion, the highest record among K-POP solo artists. In particular, Jungkook's solo album 'GOLDEN', released in November 2023, is on the verge of surpassing 6 billion total streams, further proving his global popularity. Jungkook's influence is also confirmed by various charts and awards. 'Seven (feat. Latto)' achieved number one on the US Billboard's main song charts 'Hot 100', 'Global 200', and 'Global (excluding the US)' immediately after its release. It is also recorded as the fastest song in Spotify history to reach 1 billion streams (in 108 days). Last year, it was selected by Billboard as one of the '2024 International Power Players', recognized as the most popular song in over 200 countries and regions excluding the US. This song has maintained its popularity, charting for 108 weeks on Billboard's 'Global 200' and 109 weeks on 'Global (excluding the US)', even two years after its release. Additionally, it has won trophies at numerous award ceremonies, including the '2023 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs)', '2023 MTV Europe Music Awards (EMAs)', '2023 Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs)', and '2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards', solidifying his status as a 'global pop star'. 'Seven (feat.
