BTS Jungkook swept the UK with outstanding achievement.
Jungkook appeared on BBC’s popular talk show “The One Show”, which was broadcast live on July 22nd (local time). Jungkook, who was interviewed on this program as BTS in 2021, appeared as a solo artist after about 2 years and performed his first solo single “Seven (feat. Latto)” live.
Appearing amid cheers from fans, Jungkook said, “It’s good to be back in the UK. I’ve been waiting to perform ‘Seven’ for my fans. Thank you all for coming and watching. Please look forward to a whole new Jungkook (as a solo artist). I want to try many different styles with my own voice.”
Jungkook then performed “Seven” with the introduction “Global Pop Star!”. Jungkook sang live and danced enthusiastically with a live band and dancers on a stage set on a helipad against the backdrop of London’s skyline and River Thames.
Jungkook’s appearance on BBC’s “The One Show” shone even brighter with the news of making a great record on British charts. On the latest chart (counting period July 14th~20th) released by Official Charts on July 21st, “Seven” went straight to No.3 as soon as it entered the “Official Singles Chart”. This is the highest ranking record for a Korean solo artist’s debut in the history of the “Official Singles Chart”.
“Seven”, which became the biggest debut (No.1) for a Kpop solo artist on Spotify Global Chart, maintained the top spot for 7 consecutive days and went straight to first place as soon as it entered the “Weekly Top Songs Global Chart” (counting period July 14th~20th).
