BTS's Jungkook has just made a groundbreaking achievement in the world of music! His solo track Seven has officially become the first-ever K-pop solo song to stay on Spotify’s global chart for an impressive 500 days.

As announced by World Music Awards (WMA), known as the “Billboard of Europe,” Jungkook’s Seven, released in July of last year, made history by reaching 500 days on the Spotify Global Daily Chart. This is a record no other K-pop solo artist has achieved before!

But that’s not all. Seven has also broken records by staying on the Spotify Global Weekly Chart for an incredible 73 consecutive weeks, marking the longest chart run for any song by an Asian artist.

In addition, as of October, Seven remained in the Top 50 of Spotify's Global Daily Chart for over 350 days, making it the first song by an Asian artist to ever reach such a milestone.

Jungkook’s achievements didn’t stop there. He also made history by having two of his solo songs featured in Spotify’s Top Tracks of 2024 Global year-end list, becoming the first Asian solo artist to have multiple songs on the list in the same year.

On top of that, Seven ranked 41st on Apple Music’s Top Songs of 2024: Global year-end chart. It made history as the only K-pop solo song to appear on the list for two consecutive years.

Jungkook’s record-breaking journey continues to shine as he solidifies his place as a global music sensation!

Actor Lee Min Ho recently shared an unforgettable and embarrassing moment from his early career, revealing how he became a “falling star” at his first Baeksang Arts Awards.

On the December 25th episode of You Quiz on the Block (Episode 274), Lee Min Ho made a guest appearance and reflected on his rise to fame.

The actor, known for his iconic role as Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers, won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, but it wasn’t just his victory that grabbed attention.

Lee Min Ho recalled, "I was attending the Baeksang for the first time, and I was so excited. Since I wasn’t going as Goo Jun Pyo, but as Lee Min Ho, I styled my hair in a perm and was ready to go." However, things took an unexpected turn when he tripped and fell on the red carpet.

He sighed, recalling, "That day, I fell. I fell and created so many memes. Even now, I look back and think, 'How did I walk that quickly on the red carpet?'"

Laughing at his own clumsiness, he admitted, "I was moving at the speed of light, no composure, no focus. Honestly, more than the joy of winning the award, that day was chaotic and so embarrassing for me."

Though his win was a highlight, Lee Min Ho humorously shared that the incident of tripping overshadowed the excitement of his achievement.

It’s safe to say that while the fall became a funny meme, it also became a lesson in humility for the actor, and a moment that fans still remember to this day.
