BTS’s Jungkook has kicked off the new year with a monumental achievement, making history as the first K-pop soloist to surpass 3 million album sales on Hanteo. His album GOLDEN has officially broken the long-standing record of 2.86 million sales, which was previously held by Kim Gun Mo’s Wrongful Meeting or Wrongful Encounter for 30 years.
Released on November 3, 2023, GOLDEN showcases Jungkook’s versatility with 11 tracks spanning various genres. Highlights include collaborations with artists like Jack Harlow on “3D,” Major Lazer on “Closer to You,” and Latto on “Seven,” available in both clean and explicit versions. Other tracks such as “Standing Next to You,” “Hate You,” and “Too Sad to Dance” demonstrate his ability to blend groovy beats with heartfelt vocals, making the album a dynamic listen from start to finish.
This historic milestone not only cements Jungkook’s status as a global music sensation but also sets a new bar for K-pop albums on the prestigious Hanteo chart.
