BTS's Jungkook has been selected as the first participant in Rolling Stone's global project. On the 9th, Jungkook's agency announced, "Jungkook appeared on the exclusive cover released by Rolling Stone. This photo shoot is the first project in Rolling Stone's history to collaborate among Korea, the UK, and Japan." Jungkook was chosen as the first subject of this project.

Jungkook graced the covers of Rolling Stone Korea, UK, and Japan. Along with the photo shoot, an interview featuring his activities, musical direction, and vision was published. Jungkook is the first Korean solo artist to appear as a cover model for Rolling Stone UK. His photo shoot was also released as digital covers for Rolling Stone in the US, France, India, the Philippines, and China. By simultaneously featuring on print and digital covers in a total of eight countries, he demonstrated strong brand power.

In the interview, Jungkook said, "Now is a time for a new leap. I want to keep evolving by trying new things. That's why I want to show various sides of myself. I want to be an artist who creates trends rather than being swept away by them, and an artist without limits." This statement clearly reveals Jungkook's musical vision and future direction.

Jungkook's musical achievements are also gaining attention. Recently, on the global audio and music streaming platform Spotify, the cumulative streams of Jungkook's solo songs surpassed 10 billion. This is the first time a Korean solo artist has achieved 10 billion streams. Additionally, his solo single "Seven (feat. Latto)" recorded 2.6 billion cumulative streams, the highest for a single song by a Korean artist.

Jungkook is an artist who has gained global popularity as a member of BTS. His solo activities present a different direction from the group's activities, showing fans a new side of him. Jungkook's participation in this Rolling Stone project is expected to further strengthen his personal brand.

Jungkook has also attracted attention due to dating rumors with aespa member Winter. Among fans, various couple items featuring Jungkook and Winter were spotted, raising suspicions of a relationship. However, both Jungkook and Winter denied the dating rumors through their agencies. This has increased fans' interest in their relationship.

Jungkook's participation in this Rolling Stone project and his musical achievements play an important role in establishing him as a global pop star.
