BTS Jungkook became the No.1 Artist of the Summer after pop star Harry Styles.
Audacy, the second largest radio company in the United States which owns about 235 local stations, held the “2022 Artist of the Summer” voting through SNS for about a month from August 3rd.
As a result of competing with fierce candidates, Jungkook topped the “2022 Artist of the Summer”.

The first place of “2021 Artist of the Summer” belonged to Harry Styles, a member of the popular British idol group One Direction and world-class pop star. In 2022, Jungkook took home this title.
Recently, Jungkook received the honor of being nominated for “Song of Summer” at the American popular music awards ceremony MTV Video Music Awards (VMA) as the first Korean solo singer ever with “Left and Right”.
Jungkook is showing an “incomparable” presence in the United States to the extent that he ranks alongside famous celebrities around the world.

Besides, when Jungkook said “Chicotle”, the large U.S. franchise “Chipotle” changed its name on Twitter to “Chicotle”. McDonald’s and several fast food companies changed their Twitter names following Jungkook’s past Instagram ID.
Jungkook is boasting the dignity of a “super-trending icon” as well as showing his enormous local popularity, influence and presence by featuring in American pop star Beyonce’s “Virgo Season Yearbook”.
