Get to know BTS member Jungkook
Jung Kook also known as Jungkook is a South Korean singer-songwriter.
He is the main vocalist of the best-selling band in South Korean history, BTS.
In 2013, the young Korean pop singer made his debut as a member of BTS with the release of the single 2 Cool 4 Skool.
In 2016, the group released their second Korean studio album, Wings – which became the first album to sell one million copies in South Korea.
By 2017, BTS crossed into the global music market, leading the Korean wave into the United States and breaking sales records.
We owe it all to RM
Jungkook chose Big Hit Entertainment over JYP Entertainment, FNC Entertainment, TS Entertainment, and other entertainment businesses.
Jungkook has stated on various occasions that he did not know many musicians when he lived in Busan.
But he was taken by RM's rapping abilities and wanted to learn more about his firm.
When he competed in Superstar K, he met Big Hit's owner Bang Si-hyuk and discovered that RM was a trainee there.
Jungkook, aged 15, made the decision to work with his idol and joined the Seoul-based label.
BTS hiatus misconception
After a few very successful years, BTS will be taking some time to focus on solo projects.
“BTS are not taking a hiatus. Members will be focusing more on solo projects at this time,” stated Hybe back in June.
In June, fans were shocked to hear this news. Some thought the group was taking a break or disbanding, but that is not the case.
“We have to accept that we’ve changed,” shared RM.
“For me, it was like the group BTS was within my grasp until ‘On’ and ‘Dynamite,’ but after ‘Butter’ and ‘Permission to Dance,’ I didn’t know what kind of group we were anymore,” shared BTS leader RM.
With their solo projects, the members assured the fans that they will be a better version of themselves, per USA Today.
BTS’s history-making career
Throughout BTS’s career, there has been a lot that the K-pop group has achieved.
Serendipity” and “Lie” both hit fifty million listens on Spotify in 2018, followed by the former’s full-length version from BTS‘ Love Yourself: Answer compilation album, which achieved the milestone in early 2019.
Jimin became the first Korean artist to have three solo tracks gather over 50million streams apiece, surpassing Psy, who previously broke the 50million streaming milestone twice with “Gangnam Style” and “Gentleman.”
Both songs also ranked at numbers 17 and 19, respectively, in the OCC list of the top 20 BTS songs in the UK as of October 2018. These songs were the only solos performed by a member of BTS.
Those tracks were the highest-placed solos featured that year when the list was enlarged to cover the top 40 in April 2019, coming in at numbers 18 and 20, respectively.
