• BTS’s Jungkook Breaks Another Huge Spotify Record, ‘3D’ Surpasses 800 Million Streams, Making Him the First Asian Soloist to Achieve This Feat with Four Songs

    BTS’s Jungkook continues to prove he’s a streaming king, setting yet another massive record on Spotify!

    His solo track ‘3D’, released in September 2023, has officially surpassed 800 million streams (unfiltered) on the world’s biggest music streaming platform, marking another huge milestone in his solo career.

    As of February 13 (KST), ‘3D’ has reached 800,042,138 streams, further proving Jungkook’s global popularity and digital dominance.

    With this, Jungkook now holds the record as the first and only Asian soloist with four songs surpassing 800 million streams on Spotify. The list includes:
    ‘3D’
    ‘Seven’
    ‘Standing Next to You’ (title track of his solo album GOLDEN)
    ‘Left and Right’ (his collab with Charlie Puth)

    According to music chart sources like ‘Pop Core’ and ‘Pop Flop’, Jungkook is now the Asian solo artist with the most songs surpassing 800 million streams in Spotify history!

    That’s not all—his album ‘GOLDEN’ also became the first studio album by an Asian artist to have three songs hit this milestone, proving its massive success.

    Even months after release, ‘3D’ remains a fan-favorite, staying on Spotify’s Daily Top Songs Global chart for over 200 days and continuing its strong performance.

    Jungkook is no stranger to breaking records! He was also the first Asian soloist to have three songs surpass 1 billion streams (‘Seven,’ ‘Left and Right,’ and ‘Standing Next to You’), and he holds multiple fastest and first-ever achievements on Spotify.

    Meanwhile, Jungkook’s total Spotify streams (including all credits) have now surpassed 8.2 billion streams (unfiltered), making him the fastest and first K-pop soloist to reach this number!

    Fans can’t wait to see what new records he’ll break next!

  • Lee Junho proves he's a true gentleman — leaves JYP after 17 years and gives every staff member a sweet goodbye gift

    2PM’s Lee Junho has officially ended his 17-year journey with JYP Entertainment, and fans can’t stop talking about his touching farewell gesture.

    On April 15, photos began circulating online showing the special gift Junho prepared for all the JYP staff before officially leaving the agency.

    In the photo, a heartfelt banner from Junho reads, “To the JYP family, I was happy because we were together. Thank you sincerely. From Lee Junho.”

    Along with this message, Junho set up a cheesecake station at the company’s café — with a slice for each employee to take and enjoy.

    That day marked Junho’s official departure from the company he first joined as a trainee, spending nearly two decades growing as a singer, actor, and all-around star.

    Back on March 20, JYP had already announced the contract ending, saying, “After deep discussions, both sides have decided not to renew the contract. We sincerely thank Lee Junho for being part of the company’s growth and journey over the past 17 years.”

    Junho also shared a warm message through the agency, “Thank you sincerely for the support given to me over the past 17 years. I will move forward while cherishing the relationships and support we’ve built during this long time together.”

    Even though he’s officially left the agency, Junho’s activities in Japan will still be handled by JYP. “We will continue to manage his activities in Japan and will actively support future collaborations as needed,” the agency stated.

    This sweet gesture isn’t the only thing that showed Junho’s character recently. On March 27, he donated 100 million KRW (around $75,000 USD) to World Vision, requesting that the funds go to support children and residents affected by the devastating wildfires in Gyeongnam and Gyeongbuk.

    Fans are now looking forward to Junho’s next chapter, with his appearances in Netflix’s new series “Cashero” and tvN’s “Typhoon Trading Company” lined up for this year.

    From heartfelt goodbyes to generous donations, Junho is showing the world that he’s not just a talented artist — but also a genuinely kind soul.
