This marks Jungkook's sixth entry on the chart, setting a record for a solo K-pop artist.

In addition to this musical collaboration, it was reported on Wednesday by local media that Jungkook, along with Jimin, is set to commence military service on December 12, following RM and V. Although the specific enlistment dates were not officially confirmed by the musician's label, it was announced last week that the four members had initiated the process to fulfill their military service obligations.
