BTS Jungkook's 'GOLDEN', a Record Breaker

Jungkook of BTS is continuing to break records on the K-pop solo chart.

According to the latest U.S. Billboard chart (10th), Jungkook ranked 71st on the main album chart 'Billboards 200' with his first solo album 'GOLDEN'.

It broke the record of the longest period of K-pop solo album to remain in charts. It was listed on the Billboard 200 for 13 consecutive weeks. It fell 13 notches from the previous week (58th), but was still listed in the top 80.

The title track, "Standing Next to You," is currently running for a long time as well. It was ranked 94th on this week's "Hot 100." It has been on the chart for 13 weeks since it entered the 5th place.

His performance in the detailed charts is also noticeable. He has three solo songs in "Global 200." "Seven" ranked 28th, "Standing Next to You" ranked 31st, and "3D" ranked 88th.

The same applies to global music (excluding the U.S.). These songs were ranked high on both fronts. "Seven" ranked 21st, "Standing Next to You" ranked 25th, and "3D" ranked 57th.

"GOLDEN" is an album with the motif of the golden moment of solo artist Jungkook. It has collected all the stories lying behind before the 'golden maknae' leaps into a global pop star.

"Standing Next to You" is a retro funk genre. It contains the message, "I will be with you no matter what adversity comes." It was popular for its perfect performance.

Meanwhile, BTS, including Jungkook, is fulfilling its military service obligations. Full activities are scheduled for the second half of 2025.
