Jungkook, the main performer of BTS, has also been releasing solo work. His solo career began in 2016 with “Begin,” followed by “Euphoria” and “My Time.” In 2023, he released his debut solo album, Golden, which features the hit track, “Standing Next to You.” The latest news is that “Standing Next to You” has reached a massive milestone.
A Huge Milestone For The Song
Jungkook’s other song, “Never Let Go,” also had massive success after its release last year. With 34.7 million streams, it was inside the top 40 of all-time debut week release streams. So, K-Pop fans are used to hearing about success. However, the latest figures seem astronomical.
