BTS Jungkook has been chosen as the first participant in Rolling Stone's global project.
Music magazine 'Rolling Stone' (Rolling Stone) recently released an exclusive cover image with Jungkook. This photo spread is the first project in Rolling Stone's history to be a collaboration among Korea, the U.K. and Japan. Jungkook was selected as the first subject of this project and showcased the stature of a "global pop star."
Jungkook graced the cover of the Korean, U.K. and Japanese editions of Rolling Stone, and inside the magazine an interview accompanied the photo spread detailing his activities, musical direction and vision. In particular, Jungkook is the first Korean solo singer to appear as a cover model for Rolling Stone UK. His photo spread was also released as digital covers for Rolling Stone in the United States, France, India, the Philippines and China. He simultaneously adorned print and digital covers in a total of eight countries, demonstrating powerful brand strength.
In the interview Jungkook said, "Now is a time for a new leap. I want to keep evolving while trying new things. So I want to show the various sides within me. I want to be an artist who makes the flow, not one who is carried by it, and an artist without limits."
Meanwhile, on global audio and music streaming platform Spotify, the cumulative streams of solo songs released under Jungkook's name surpassed 10 billion. It is the first 10 billion-stream achievement by a Korean solo singer. Also, the solo single 'Seven (feat. Latto)' surpassed 2.6 billion cumulative plays, the first time a single song by a Korean artist reached that mark.
