BTS member Jungkook has set a remarkable record on Spotify, the world's largest music streaming platform.

According to Spotify on June 22, Jungkook has surpassed 1.2 billion streams in just 487 days.

Previously in March, Jungkook achieved 1 billion streams, setting a new record as the fastest K-pop solo artist to reach this milestone on Spotify. Now, just three months later, he has added another 200 million streams.

What's surprising is that he accomplished this even before the release of his official solo album. Having debuted as the main vocalist of BTS in June 2013, Jungkook plans to release his first solo album this summer, marking his 10th year since debut.

Given that his solo album has not yet been released, Jungkook's personal Spotify account only officially lists four songs: his cover of "I'm in Love" from the MBC music show 'King of Masked Singer', his solo OST single "Stay Alive", a collaborative single "Left and Right" with Charlie Puth, and "Dreamers", the official anthem for the 2022 Qatar World Cup. Despite this limited discography, Jungkook has achieved 1.2 billion streams, once again proving his global popularity.

Meanwhile, Jungkook is currently in the final stages of preparing his solo album. His agency, Big Hit Music, told Newsen regarding rumors that the album would be released in July, "We will announce the schedule once it's confirmed."

Earlier, Bang Si-hyuk, chairman of HYBE (BTS is signed under Big Hit Music, a label under HYBE), shared a photo taken with Jungkook and renowned American producer Andrew Watt in the United States in April, raising anticipation for Jungkook's solo album. Jungkook had been busy working on music both domestically and abroad, including a visit to Los Angeles last August.

In the run-up to the release of his solo album, Jungkook donated 1 billion KRW (approximately $870,000) to the Seoul National University Children's Hospital on April 18th. The donation will be used for the medical treatment of children from low-income families and the Integrated Care Center project.
