Jungkook, a member of the globally renowned K-pop group BTS, has made history as the first K-pop solo artist to reach 5 billion hits on Spotify. This achievement comes within an impressive timeframe of 748 days since he established his own account on the platform, establishing a notable record within the K-pop realm.

The record-setting accomplishment is largely attributed to his debut solo single, "Seven (feat. Latto)," which amassed an impressive 1.4 billion streams. Notably, the single reached the 1 billion plays mark in a mere 108 days, setting a new record for the shortest time in Spotify history.
