Recently, according to an announcement by U.S. music magazine Billboard, Jungkook’s debut solo single “Seven” climbed to No. 159 on the Global 200 chart, rising six spots compared to the previous week. With this achievement, “Seven” has extended its record as the first and only song by an Asian soloist and group-affiliated artist in history to remain on the chart for 140 weeks.
In addition, on the latest Global Excl. U.S. chart, the song rose five places to No. 84, setting a new record with 143 weeks on the chart—the longest run ever for an Asian solo artist.
Beyond Billboard, on the world’s largest streaming platform Spotify, the track has also made history as the first and only song by an Asian solo artist to remain on the “Weekly Top Songs Global” chart for 143 consecutive weeks. “Seven” has further become the first song by an Asian artist—and the first song released in 2023—to surpαѕѕ 2.889 billion streams.
What makes this even more remarkable is that the song was released three years ago, while Jungkook had even gone through a two-year hiatus afterward and is now actively promoting a new album with BTS. This clearly demonstrates that his individual star power has not diminished in the slightest.
However, these musical achievements alone are not enough to fully capture Jungkook’s global impact. A newly updated social media milestone on the 20th further cements the immense reputation of the “Golden Maknae"!
Specifically, according to announcements from World Music Awards (WMA)—often referred to as the “Billboard of Europe”—and Pop Core, Jungkook has been recognized as the first and only person in the world to surpαѕѕ 40 million posts (currently 40.3 million) under his personal hashtag #jungkook on the global short-form video platform TikTok.
It is reported that the cumulative views of this hashtag have exceeded 300 billion, while another hashtag of his, #jk, has also surpαѕѕed 11.5 million posts. Meanwhile, the follower count on Jungkook’s official TikTok account has exceeded 29.1 million. Notably, 5 out of the 26 videos he has posted on his official account have garnered over 100 million views, with some even surpαѕѕing 200 million.
Media outlets have described him as the “KING OF TIKTOK” and a “HISTORY MAKER,” emphasizing the scale and significance of his achievements. Meanwhile, fans have been celebrating this historic milestone, expressing their admiration and excitement: "Jungkook is unstoppable! The first and only person in the world to surpαѕѕ 40 million posts shows his global influence is next level", "Jungkook alone ends all industry, so insane", "Congratulations Popular Jungkook", "He rules the platform.
