BTS’s golden maknae, Jungkook, has embarked on a solo journey that has already engraved his name in the annals of Hanteo Chart history. With the release of his eagerly awaited solo album “GOLDEN” on November 3, Jungkook not only exceeded expectations but shattered existing records for the highest first-day and first-week sales of any solo album tracked by Hanteo.
In just seven days, from November 3 to 9, “GOLDEN” dazzled the market, selling an astonishing 2,438,483 copies, a testament to Jungkook’s immense popularity and the unwavering support of the ARMY. This milestone catapults Jungkook into the elite echelons of Hanteo history, placing him fifth among all artists—including groups—for first-week sales, an illustrious list that features SEVENTEEN, Stray Kids, NCT DREAM, and BTS themselves.
