It was undoubtedly an excellent year for the idol’s solo career, as the success of his first personal album ‘Golden’ has led him to settle at the 14th position on the best-selling albums chart, not to mention that his song ‘Seven (feat. Latto)‘, is at the 19th position on the Global 200 chart.
Jungkook made sure to write a musical material that could keep him going during his absence, and it seems he succeeded, as his album continues to break records while he is doing his military service with his groupmate and friend Jimin in the ‘Companion Soldiers’ program.
