2023 has been an extraordinary year for BTS' Jungkook as he made a successful debut as a solo artist with his debut track, "Seven."
Among those making waves in the industry, none shine brighter than BTS' Jungkook, who has secured his place on The Hollywood Reporter's coveted Platinum Players Power List—a compilation of 25 artists who undeniably dominated the year.
On September 20, The Hollywood Reporter released the list of 25 Platinum Players in Music. According to the entertainment magazine, the 25 artists who made this list are the ones, "who are on top of the charts and at the top of the game. They move the needle on culture. They own their narratives. They create songs and albums that define a generation and connect with listeners all over the world. They blend genres, set records, and break them, only to set new records. They perform for thousands — and, in some cases, millions — on tour. In other words, these are the artists who have defined the year in music."
A familiar Korean name was among the star-studded list of the top global artists, bringing excitement to fans.
This year, BTS' Jungkook was selected as one of the most influential artists.
The Hollywood Reporter explained, "BTS may have hit the pause button as various members complete military service, but Jungkook is having the most fun by topping the charts with the thumping hit 'Seven,' a collaboration with Latto that reached the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100."
The magazine highlighted the track's success, stating, "The song performed so well around the world that it reigns as Billboard’s No. 1 global song of the summer in 2023."
Korean netizens were impressed with another feat and commented, " The artist lineup on this list is so crazy," "Jungkook is so amazing," "Wow, congrats Jungkook!" "I was expecting Jungkook to be on this list," "It's not a surprise anymore," "It's so impressive how he's among all pop artists," "He's really world-class," and "This is so awesome Jungkook!"
Congrats Kookie!! 💜🎉
