Jungkook made a spectacular debut as a solo artist with "Seven," which not only topped the charts but also made history by positioning him as the first Asian solo artist to achieve the number one spot on Billboard’s Hot 100, Global 200, and Global 200 Excluding US charts. His solo album "Golden," released in November 2023, further solidified his status in the global music scene, with tracks like "Standing Next to You" amassing over 700 million streams on Spotify.
The documentary will also unveil behind-the-scenes stories from his surprise guerrilla performance at TSX Entertainment in New York's Times Square, along with exclusive footage of the recording sessions for "Standing Next to You" in the United States.
As of now, Jungkook is fulfilling his mandatory military service, with his discharge scheduled for June 11, 2025. Despite his current military obligations, his impact on the global music industry continues to resonate, and this documentary promises to be a testament to his enduring influence.
