Jungkook’s "Seven" (feat. Latto) is widely considered the most popular BTS member solo song, having achieved massive commercial success, including debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Other highly popular solo tracks include Jimin's "Like Crazy," which also hit No. 1 on the Hot 100, and Jungkook's "Euphoria," which remains a long-standing fan favorite.
“Dynamite” understands. The solo careers of the band's seven members have produced many similarly beloved moments. RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook have all been incredibly prolific, with each creating his own artistic profile and unique discography.
Outside the group, all seven BTS members have embarked on solo careers – and scored solo Hot 100 hits. Two — Jimin and Jung Kook — have even achieved solo No. 1s, with “Like Crazy” and “Seven” (featuring Latto), respectively.
BTS member Jungkook has been crowned the world's most favourite male K-pop idol, according to Arirang TV's poll. Nicknamed the 'Golden Maknae', Jungkook won the global survey with 12.7 per cent votes. A close second to his military buddy is BTS' Jimin, who received 11.1 per cent votes.
BTS' Jungkook and IU, a singer and actress, have claimed the top spots on the most-favorite K-pop artist charts in both the male and female categories, according to a recent poll.
While "number 1" is subjective and changes, BTS consistently ranks as the world's biggest and most influential K-pop group, setting global records, with BLACKPINK as the top girl group, but groups like Stray Kids, SEVENTEEN, and soloists like IU are also dominant forces in South Korea and internationally.
According to Times Now, V has an estimated net worth of $40 million. Following closely behind V is BTS' golden maknae Jungkook. Jeon Jungkook's net worth stands at $35 million. Next up, we have J-Hope and Suga, both of whom have a similar reported net worth of $30 million each.
The first openly gay K-pop idol to debut was Holland, who launched his career in January 2018 with the single "Neverland," making history by placing his sexuality and experiences with discrimination at the forefront of his music and music videos, including a same-sex kiss in his debut video. He funded his debut independently as agencies rejected him for his openness, becoming a significant figure for LGBTQ+ representation in the industry.
Rolling Stone ranks V's 'Slow Dancing' as the 5th best BTS solo song. Equal parts pop and jazz, “Slow Dancing” offers romanticism, hopeful lyrics, and a flute solo (!)
The most viewed YouTube music video in 24 hours was viewed 108,200,000 times, and was achieved by BTS (Republic of Korea) with the video titled "BTS (방탄소년단) 'Butter' Official MV," on 22 May 2021.
The "Big Three" in K-pop traditionally refers to the three dominant entertainment companies: SM Entertainment, JYP Entertainment, and YG Entertainment, known for shaping the industry and launching major acts like Girls' Generation, TWICE, and BLACKPINK. However, with the rise of HYBE Corporation (home to BTS) and other major players like Kakao, discussions have emerged about expanding this to a "Big Four," acknowledging HYBE's massive impact and potential monopoly, shifting the landscape of K-pop's power structure.
Yes, based on recent reports (late 2024/2025), solo artist IU is generally considered richer than individual BTS members, with an estimated net worth of $40-45 million, placing her as the wealthiest K-pop idol, surpassing even top BTS members like V and Jungkook. While BTS as a group is immensely wealthy, IU's solo success in music, acting (like in Hotel Del Luna), and endorsements makes her the richest single K-pop figure, according to various sources.
The music video opens with close-up shots of Jungkook whistling against a backdrop of mathematical formulas and molecular structures. The video then switches to show him joining the rest of the band as the whistling continues and they start dancing, being backed by gentle guitar strumming.
Intended to soothe listeners during the COVID-19 pandemic, the song talks about joy and appreciation for the little things that make life valuable. Upon release, "Dynamite" received positive reviews from music critics, with praise towards its catchiness and broadly appealing retro sound.
“Dynamite” by BTS has surpassed 2 BILLION views on YouTube. 🎉 It also becomes the first song by an Asian act to surpass 2 BILLION streams on both Spotify and YouTube.
