Jeon Jungkook’s solo track SEVEN spent 700 days on the Spotify Global chart
Jungkook of BTS garnered attention with yet another record-breaking accomplishment for his solo single SEVEN. The BTS maknae's popular music remained on the Global Spotify chart for 700 days. SEVEN also became the inaugural single by an Asian solo artist to reach this milestone.
Furthermore, the idol recently exceeded 1 billion streams on Spotify alone in 2025. The Yes or No frontman achieved the current milestone without a new record, owing to his extended hiatus for military service.
On June 13, Jk took the stage for his inaugural concert following his military discharge on June 11.
The golden maknae completed his 18-month military service in South Korea, commencing in December 2023. Jungkook collaborated with his fellow artist J-hope on stage during the ‘HOPE ON THE STAGE’ performance in Seoul.
The idol unexpectedly appeared during Hobi's performance and sang three songs. Jk performed I Wonder with J-Hope, "Jamais Vu" with Jin and J-Hope, and his solo track SEVEN.
