BTS’ Jungkook is still at the top of the American market despite not releasing new solo music for a while. The idol gathered a greater audience in the territory, even becoming a notorious being among the youngest generations, including the kids who are first discovering his music.
Jungkook was introduced as the main subject of “Brain Candy Books,” a U.S. series designed to introduce elementary school students to notable figures in music and sports. The Golden Maknae is now part of the series, joining internationally renowned stars including Cristiano Ronaldo, Selena Gomez, and Dua Lipa.

The book covers Jungkook’s personal growth and musical career over the years, sharing the idol’s philosophy and becoming one of the “Greatest Singers of All Time,” recalling the Rolling Stones’ statement, while praising the idol’s versatility in music.
The book also highlights Jungkook’s achievements over the years, as the first Korean solo artist to place seven songs on Billboard’s “Hot 100” chart. His performance of the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 soundtrack “Dreamers” was also noted as a defining moment that solidified his standing as a global star. Fortunately, Jungkook has broken the barriers of the Kpop scene, putting it into the global scene. Congratulations to the Golden Maknae on this amazing recognition!
