BTS's Jungkook is proving his golden touch with his solo album 'GOLDEN.'

As of August 23–29, 'GOLDEN' re-entered the UK Official Physical Albums Chart, landing at number 100.

Jungkook was the only K-pop solo artist on the chart during that period, and his album has made history as the first and longest-charting K-pop solo album, staying on the chart for an impressive 20 weeks.

When 'GOLDEN' was first released, it debuted at number 3 on the UK Official Main Albums Chart 'Top 100,' setting a record as the highest-ranking album by a K-pop solo artist. It stayed on the 'Top 100' for 8 weeks, the longest for any K-pop solo artist, and also debuted at number 1 on the Download Chart.

Jungkook has also made a mark on the Official Main Singles Chart with seven songs. His solo single 'Seven' reached 3rd place, '3D' hit 5th, 'Standing Next to You' landed at 6th, and 'TOO MUCH' entered at 10th.

These songs, along with others like 'Never Let Go' (60th), 'Stay Alive' (89th), and 'Left and Right' (41st), show his consistent chart-topping power.

His song 'Seven' even earned the 'BRIT Certified' Silver certification for selling 200,000 units in the UK, making Jungkook the first K-pop solo artist to achieve this since Psy in 2014.

From August 30 to September 22, Jungkook will host the 'GOLDEN: The Moments' exhibition at Le Méridien Moxy in Myeong-dong, Seoul, where fans can relive his 'golden moments.'

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
