BTS’s Jungkook is proving once again that his global power is on another level!

On April 18, it was revealed that Jungkook’s hit solo debut song “Seven” has now stayed on Spotify’s Weekly Top Songs Global Chart for 92 weeks straight. That’s the longest run ever by an Asian solo artist, and fans everywhere are celebrating this massive achievement.

Released in July 2023, “Seven” (featuring Latto) is still going strong. It recently jumped up four spots, landing at No. 79 on the latest chart (April 11–17). The track continues to make waves thanks to its catchy melody and heartfelt message.

But Jungkook isn’t just slaying with one song—his first solo album “Golden”, released in November 2023, is also still climbing the charts. It ranked No. 64 on Spotify’s Weekly Top Albums Global Chart during the same period, marking 76 weeks on the chart. Once again, this makes it the first and longest-charting album by an Asian solo artist.

Jungkook’s streaming power doesn’t stop there. He also landed at No. 186 on Spotify’s Weekly Top Artists Global Chart, and he’s now been on that chart for 99 weeks in a row. That’s nearly two years of being one of the top artists in the world!

His solo track “Seven” has already broken tons of records, including becoming the fastest song in Spotify history to reach 100 million, 900 million, 1 billion, and 1.1 billion streams. It’s also the first Asian artist’s song to reach 2.3 billion streams in record time.

On top of that, the “Golden” album has racked up over 5.4 billion streams, making it the most-streamed album by an Asian soloist ever.

And let’s not forget Billboard—“Seven” is still charting on both the Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts, holding on for 90 and 91 weeks, respectively.

Even Jungkook’s Spotify profile hit a major milestone. He’s now the first K-pop solo artist to reach over 8.6 billion total streams across all credits.

Fans are calling these records more than just numbers. They’re a sign of Jungkook’s deep connection with listeners worldwide. Whether it’s a soundtrack to your day or a source of inspiration, his music continues to reach hearts across the globe.

As fans cheer for his 92-week streak, many are already asking: What record will Jungkook break next?

The hit drama Weak Hero 2 is taking over both streaming charts and fans’ hearts—and now it’s bringing massive attention back to the original Naver webtoon Weak Hero.

According to Netflix's Tudum Top 10 update on April 30, Weak Hero 2 pulled in a huge 6.1 million views (based on total watch time divided by full runtime) just three days after its release. It grabbed the #1 spot on the Global TOP 10 Non-English TV Series chart.

That’s not all—right after it dropped, the drama soared to the top of Korea’s TOP 10 Series and even made the TOP 10 charts in 63 countries, including Brazil, France, Mexico, Belgium, Morocco, Greece, Indonesia, and more.

This follows the success of Weak Hero 1, which previously ranked #8 and stayed on the global chart for five weeks straight.

With all eyes on the new season, fans are now rushing to read the original webtoon, leading to a massive jump in popularity.

The webtoon, which first started in May 2018 and wrapped up in November 2023, is famous for its intense storytelling and emotional depth.

It tells the story of Yeon Si Eun, a quiet and seemingly weak student who turns into a top fighter at a violent school—giving fans a unique and gripping coming-of-age story.

After Weak Hero Class 2 aired, many viewers started reading or re-reading the webtoon from beginning to end. As a result, sales of the webtoon have shot up more than 20 times compared to its average monthly sales after completion.

The series has also been turned into printed books, a mobile game, and even emojis, and has been exported to 9 countries, including North America.

When the first season of the drama premiered on Wavve in 2022, it held 45% of the platform’s total viewing share, proving its wide appeal.

Fans are now hoping for a new sequel season of the webtoon, and the franchise is being praised as a perfect example of how a strong original story can keep growing through great adaptations.
