BTS's Jungkook continues to prove his global superstar status, breaking new records and leaving fans in awe.

On the latest Billboard chart (dated January 11), Jungkook’s smash hit "Seven" made a strong comeback, re-entering the Global 200 chart at #97. This milestone extends its reign to 77 weeks—the longest run ever by an Asian soloist!

But that’s not all. On the Global Excl. U.S. chart, "Seven" climbed to #61, making it 77 consecutive weeks on the chart. No other Asian solo artist has achieved such an incredible streak, solidifying Jungkook’s place as a true global phenomenon.

The Billboard global charts, which track streaming and sales data from over 200 countries, show just how much love "Seven" continues to receive worldwide. It remains the first and only song by an Asian soloist to stay on both the Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts for over 76 weeks.

Jungkook's achievements don’t stop there. "Seven" is also holding strong in Asia, ranking #87 on Billboard Japan's Streaming Songs chart for 77 weeks and maintaining its presence on the Philippines' Hot 100 at #52 for 28 weeks—making it the longest-charting K-pop track in the region.

Meanwhile, his debut solo album GOLDEN is still making waves, securing #73 on Billboard Japan’s Download Albums chart for its 48th week. Jungkook also ranked #64 on Billboard Japan’s Artist 100 chart, marking an impressive 84 weeks as one of the top artists.

Despite his military service, Jungkook’s music continues to dominate the charts. GOLDEN even made a surprise comeback on the Billboard 200 late last year, hitting #109 on the December 28 edition. With this, Jungkook extended his record as the K-pop soloist with the longest cumulative presence on the chart, now at 25 weeks.

In the U.S., GOLDEN also holds the title of the best-selling K-pop solo album for two years in a row. To top it all off, Jungkook made history at the Billboard Music Awards by winning three trophies over the past two years, making him the most awarded K-pop soloist in BBMA history.

Fans around the world are celebrating Jungkook’s unstoppable journey as he continues to make K-pop history with every move.

GFRIEND is back together after four years, and they have a lot to share about their long-awaited reunion.

On the 10th episode of KBS 2TV's The Seasons - Lee Young Ji's Rainbow, GFRIEND made a special appearance as guests, where they opened up about their break and comeback.

Sowon from GFRIEND set the record straight, saying, "There were many articles referring to a disbandment, but it was not a disbandment. It was the end of our contract. It wasn't a disbandment." This clears up any confusion, as GFRIEND reunited after a four-year break.

Umji also shared her thoughts, saying, "The 10th anniversary is significant and meaningful. We’ve always thought, even subconsciously, that we should do something monumental to mark it."

The members also took a trip down memory lane and recalled their early days, including a memorable stage mishap. Yuju recalled falling several times during their debut performance due to heavy rain, which earned her the nickname "Kkwadang Yuju" (a playful reference to her falls). She laughed and shared, "It started raining heavily as soon as our stage began. I thought it was an accident as I got on stage. The members couldn’t make it to the center, everyone was slipping, and I fell the most dramatically."

Yuju revealed one of her strengths and weaknesses, saying, "I don’t feel pain well. So I just went with it. One of the things I’m good at is self-hypnosis. Every time I fell on stage, I just thought to myself, 'No one saw that.'"

GFRIEND's reunion is more than just a celebration of their anniversary—it's a return to the group they’ve always been. Fans are excited to see what’s next for these talented stars.
