BTS’s Jungkook continues to redefine what it means to be a global solo artist, and his latest achievement proves once again why he’s often called the “Golden Maknae.”
On August 24, 2025, BIGHIT MUSIC officially announced that the music video for Jungkook’s 2023 solo single “Standing Next to You” surpassed 200 million views on YouTube—solidifying yet another career milestone.
With this, all three official music videos from his debut solo album “GOLDEN” have now crossed the coveted 200 million view mark.
This feat makes Jungkook the first K-pop soloist in history to reach 200 million views with three separate music videos from the same album, further cementing his influence in both the K-pop and global music industries.
Breaking Down the Milestone
The achievement was reached at approximately 2:24 a.m. KST on August 24. The “Standing Next to You” MV, known for its sleek choreography and vintage Michael Jackson-inspired concept, was first released on November 3, 2023, at 1 p.m. KST.
That means it took just 1 year, 9 months, and 20 days to surpass 200 million views—a testament to the track’s lasting popularity and replay value.
But what truly sets this moment apart is the company it joins: Jungkook’s previous solo hits from the same album, “Seven” (feat. Latto) and “3D” (feat. Jack Harlow), had already reached 200 million views, making “Standing Next to You” the final piece of a historic trio.
A Solo Debut to Remember
Jungkook’s solo debut album “GOLDEN,” released in November 2023, was one of the most anticipated K-pop releases of the decade. With its blend of R&B, pop, funk, and dance elements, the album showcased Jungkook’s versatility as a vocalist and performer.
It also marked a turning point in his solo trajectory—transitioning from being the youngest BTS member into a full-fledged global pop star in his own right.
The album debuted with enormous success, topping global iTunes charts, making waves on the Billboard 200, and earning widespread acclaim from fans and critics alike.
Each single was strategically paired with a high-budget, visually amazing music video that helped elevate the album’s storytelling and replayability.
The Three MVs That Made History
Let’s take a quick look at the three music videos that pushed Jungkook into the record books:
“Seven” (feat. Latto)
Released on July 14, 2023, this vibrant summer anthem became an instant hit worldwide. It topped charts globally and broke streaming records on platforms like Spotify and YouTube within its first 24 hours.
“3D” (feat. Jack Harlow)
Dropped on September 29, 2023, “3D” took on a more experimental and futuristic vibe. Its video featured sleek CGI effects, tight choreography, and a catchy hook that helped it trend globally.
“Standing Next to You”
The third and final MV in the trio delivered a cinematic experience, merging classic funk-pop aesthetics with powerful visuals and dynamic performances.
Its tribute to old-school pop legends was particularly praised by fans and media outlets alike.
YouTube Power and Global Reach
YouTube remains one of the key indicators of an artist’s global popularity, especially in K-pop. For soloists, racking up even one 200 million-view video is a rare achievement.
For Jungkook to do it three times from the same album is not just statistically rare—it’s unprecedented.
His YouTube channel and associated content have drawn massive international traffic, bolstered by his global fanbase that spans continents.
From the U.S. and Europe to Southeast Asia and South America, Jungkook’s reach as a soloist is vast and still growing.
ARMY’s Role in the Record
Of course, this historic achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the unwavering support of ARMY, BTS’s global fandom.
Known for their unmatched streaming power and dedication, ARMYs around the world continue to celebrate Jungkook’s solo milestones with streaming parties, social media campaigns, and fan-made content.
Within hours of the announcement, hashtags like #Jungkook200M, #GoldenTrio200M, and #ProudOfJungkook began trending on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and TikTok.
Looking Ahead: What’s Next for Jungkook?
With all members of BTS currently enlisted in military service, including Jungkook, fans have turned to solo content to keep the BTS spirit alive during the group’s temporary hiatus.
Despite being on hiatus from live performances, Jungkook’s impact remains front and center.
Rumors have circulated about new post-military solo projects in the pipeline for 2026, including collaborations with Western artists, brand endorsements, and possible tour plans.
Whatever comes next, one thing is certain: Jungkook’s star power continues to shine, and his latest YouTube milestone is just one of many records he’s bound to break in the years to come.
