Jungkook, the golden maknae of BTS, is creating history with his solo track "Seven." Netizens and fans alike are buzzing with excitement as they have named it the standout solo K-pop release.
A recent online forum discussion on August 30 spotlighted "Seven" and its remarkable ascendancy on various music charts. The forum highlighted, "Jungkook is confirmed to dominate the No. 1 position on MelOn's daily chart this year. In 2023, no other solo artist, male or female, has clinched this honor. Only one girl group managed a similar feat after an eight-month gap."
Not stopping at MelOn, Jungkook has also grabbed the top spot on Billboard's coveted Hot 100 and held the No. 1 position on Billboard's Global 200 for an astounding six consecutive weeks. The forum initiator noted, "For six whole weeks, 'Seven' reigned as the global musical sensation. Such a feat is historically unparalleled."
Reactions from the ARMY - BTS's global fandom - have flooded in, echoing awe at Jungkook's monumental achievement. Many have voiced their astonishment, especially considering the intense competition from globally recognized musicians on the charts. One fan stated, "Given that today's charts are dominated by global heavyweights, for a solo artist to clinch the No. 1 position on the daily chart is nothing short of a MelOn miracle."
The success is even more remarkable considering the song is an English release, a challenging arena for Korean artists to make a mark. Yet, Jungkook has done so effortlessly, with fans declaring, "Among all Korean artists, his achievements stand tallest, especially at just 25."
Many fans believe "Seven" is poised to rival BTS's own chart-topping numbers like "Dynamite" and "Butter." Some are also confident that the Artist of the Year award is within Jungkook's reach this year.
