A Times Square performance that no one saw coming!

It’s easy to gather a crowd of thousands and millions at an officially announced concert or event, but have you ever seen an artist gather his fans without any prior notice at all? Jungkook’s performance at Times Square came as an absolute surprise to the world! It all started when one of the ad booths at Times Square opened up and Jungkook’s solo album poster ‘Golden’ was played next to it. Fans instantly started speculating on social media and before we knew it, the area was filled with Armys with no guarantee of what’s about to happen! But just like they guessed, Jungkook indeed performed his entire solo album at Times Square which became a spectacle for everyone who lived in the neighbourhood and around the world. Given that Times Square is one NYC’s most iconic locations, this will be a performance we’ll always revisit as a cherished memory!

His first single aka Seven reaching a billion streams!

Seven was the first song Jungkook released out of his first solo album and the song went viral for a plethora of reasons! Everything from the catchy yet explicit lyrics, his music video with Han Soo-Hee and its choreography became the internet's obsession in no time! From listening to the song on loop to doing dance challenges on it on Instagram, the song became the fastest K-pop track to hit a billion streams, making it yet another huge achievement for him as an artist!

His absolutely stunning first campaign with Calvin Klein

Apart from his songs, Jungkook is also popularly known for his fashion and his love for building a physique. It’s no news that he is one of the hottest K-pop idols in the world, but when rumours of him starring in a Calvin Klein campaign were out, the anticipation of seeing him shirtless went through the roof! When the pictures dropped, they instantly became one of Calvin Klein’s most loved and iconic campaigns till date and Jungkook is known to be the brand’s favourite ambassador even though they have a list of other celebrities who adorn their pieces!

Jungkook and his love for flying in Euphoria

Euphoria is another popular song of his but what stands out about it is that, during concerts he actually ties himself to an equipment to fly all around the stadium arena to be as close as possible to everyone. The bit instantly became viral on social media and is talked about till date as something an artist has never done before at a concert!

Jungkook from the 2019 Lotte Family Concert will never not be iconic!

BTS’ performance at the Lotte Family Concert was amazing as always but Jungkook in particular was spoken about amongst fans because of the way he looked that night! He wore a black suit and had long wavy hair and just something about him that night made fans feral like never before. In a sea of Jungkook edits made on Instagram, the clips from this day still remain pretty up high!

His tattoo reveal at the Sowoozoo concert

Tattoos aren’t widely accepted in Korean society even today, so to have an entire arm full of tattoos was a bold move to make as a popular K-pop idol! While for the longest time Jungkook hid his tattoos behind long sleeves or dish gloves, the Sowoozoo online concert was the first time he officially debuted his tattoos to the world and you best believe the hype around it is crazy even after years of seeing it! He wore a shirt at the concert and rolled his sleeves up for the world to see his arm for the very first time and that moment just ended up being more talked about than the concert itself!

His LIVES that perpetually become pop culture moments to remember

From doing a mini concert for us, cooking, introducing us to his dog, doing household chores to even falling asleep, there’s nothing that Jungkook hasn’t done on his Weverse LIVES. This has helped strengthen his relationship with Armys beyond measure and often becomes something that his fans eagerly anticipate every now and then!

Happy Birthday to the powerhouse of talent and someone who is an absolute source of happiness for his fans; you will always be so loved!
