Jungkook Makes History with "Seven" Reaching 1 Billion Spotify Streams

 

In a groundbreaking achievement, Jungkook became the first artist in music history to reach one billion Spotify streams for his single "Seven," featuring Latto, just 108 days after its release.

The accompanying music video stars South Korean actress Han So-hee in the role of Jungkook's girlfriend.
