2022 saw Jungkook of BTS emerge as one of the most successful solo acts in K-Pop as he released three new tracks under his newly created Spotify profile. The three songs that Jungkook released in 2022 are – Stay Alive, Left and Right, and Dreamers.
“Stay Alive” is a song recorded by the artist as the original music for Hybe and Naver Webtoon’s joint webtoon 7Fates: Chakho. Jungkook also collaborated with American artist Charlie Puth on the song “Left & Right.” More recently, the Korean singer contributed to the FIFA World Cup 2022 soundtrack and released the accompanying single “Dreamers.” All of these songs broke records as the highest-debuting songs by a Korean soloist on the Spotify Global chart. Jungkook also became the most streamed K-Pop soloist of the year as a result of the immense success and popularity of all three of these songs.
And now the 25-year-old singer has become the fastest Asian, K-Pop and Korean Act in history to reach six million followers on the biggest music streaming platform – Spotify. It is noteworthy that the K-Pop idol is yet to make his solo debut or release a solo album, which he will be doing this year.
