BTS's Jungkook has added yet another milestone to his solo career. His solo track 'Seven (feat. Latto)' has been selected as the winner in the 'Song of Summer' category at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards (MTV VMA), held at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey on September 13th (Korean time).
With this achievement, Jungkook has become the first South Korean solo artist to win in this category. It's worth noting that BTS's 'Butter' won in the same category in 2021, showcasing Jungkook's formidable popularity both as a group member and a solo artist.
The 'Song of Summer' award, determined by global fan votes, holds special significance. Jungkook garnered fans' expectations after being nominated for the same category last year with his collaboration track 'Left and Right (Feat. Jung Kook of BTS)' with Charlie Puth. Winning this year's 'Song of Summer' solidifies his strong global presence as a solo artist.
Furthermore, Jungkook is set to continue his solo success as he headlines the '2023 Global Citizen Festival' in New York's Central Park on September 23rd, becoming the first South Korean solo artist to do so.
