BTS : JUNGKOOK
The member of BTS, JUNGKOOK, was chosen as the first protagonist of Rolling Stone’s international project.
The music-focused media outlet Rolling Stone recently revealed the exclusive cover created with JUNGKOOK. This photoshoot marks the first collaborative project between the Korean, British, and Japanese editions of Rolling Stone. JUNGKOOK was selected as the first protagonist of this project, affirming his stature as a “global popstar”.
JUNGKOOK graced the paper cover of the Korean, British, and Japanese editions of Rolling Stone, and the inside includes a photoshoot as well as an interview about his activities, musical direction, and vision. In particular, JUNGKOOK is the first Korean solo singer to appear on the cover of “Rolling Stone UK”. His photos were also published on the digital covers of the American, French, Indian, Philippine, and Chinese editions. He thus simultaneously occupied eight paper and digital covers, demonstrating a powerful brand influence.
In the interview, JUNGKOOK stated:
“It’s a moment for a new leap. I want to continue evolving by trying new things. So I want to show the different sides within me. I want to become an artist without limits who doesn’t follow the flow, but creates it.”
Meanwhile, on the global audio and music streaming platform Spotify, the tracks released under the name JUNGKOOK recently surpassed 10 billion cumulative streams. This is an unprecedented record for a Korean solo singer. Furthermore, the solo track “Seven (feat. Latto)” exceeded 2.6 billion cumulative streams, becoming the first song by a Korean artist to reach this figure.
