BTS's Jeon Jungkook made waves as he became the first and only K-pop solo artist to surpass 5 billion streams on Spotify across all credits.

The 26-year-old singer-songwriter had surpassed 4 billion streams on Spotify as of December 17, 2023. His latest achievement comes after two months which further solidified his status as a global pop star, much to the fans' delight.

With the release of his singles Seven ft. Latto and 3D feat. Jack Harlow, Jungkook dominated the Spotify charts even before the release of his debut solo album, GOLDEN. The South Korean musician released his first solo album on November 3, 2023, consisting of 11 tracks.

Fans rejoiced and lauded the musician for his dominance on the music charts and streaming platforms despite having enlisted in the military in December 2023.
