SEOUL, December 9 (AJP) - Jungkook, a member of K-pop juggernaut BTS, has been featured on the cover of monthly magazine Rolling Stone.
Jungkook became the first South Korean artist to appear on the cover of the British edition of the influential music industry trade magazine, with online versions also featuring him in China, France, India, the Philippines and the U.S.
"This is a time where I can evaluate whether I can take another leap forward," he told the magazine. "Rather than doing the same kind of performances or similar songs repeatedly, I'm trying new things and continuing to evolve so I can show different sides of myself."
He added, "I want to be an artist who doesn't get dragged by the flow, but creates the flow."
Recently, his solo tracks surpassed a combined total of 10 billion streams on Spotify as of the end of November, making him the first K-pop solo artist to reach the milestone.
His single "Seven" has also accumulated 2.6 billion streams since its release in July 2023.
