BTS’s Jungkook is proving once again why he is one of the biggest stars in the world, becoming the first artist chosen for Rolling Stone’s new global project—and the results are massive.
Rolling Stone revealed Jungkook’s special covers for Korea, the UK, and Japan, marking the first time these three editions teamed up for a single project. Jungkook became the first Korean solo artist to land the cover of Rolling Stone UK, showing his unmatched global influence.
His impact didn’t stop there. Jungkook’s covers also rolled out across digital editions in the U.S., France, India, the Philippines, and China, giving him a total of eight countries featuring him at the same time. This achievement highlights his powerful brand presence and strong international demand.
Jungkook shared his mindset in the interview, saying he wants to “keep evolving” and hopes to become an artist who “creates trends, not one who follows them.”
The global spotlight comes as Jungkook continues breaking music records. He recently surpassed 10 billion streams on Spotify with his solo songs—making him the first Korean solo artist to ever reach this milestone. His hit single “Seven (feat. Latto)” also became the first Korean solo track to cross 2.6 billion streams.
Jungkook’s rise in both music rankings and global media proves that his influence is only getting stronger.
