On May 29, 2025, "DAESANG WINNER JUNGKOOK" began trending on X as the Asia Star Entertainer Awards organizing committee added Song of the Year to the Daesang categories, alongside Album of the Year and Artist of the Year.
BTS’ Jungkook's fans celebrated as they considered him a Daesang-winning solo artist after this update. This stems from his win for Seven at the 2024 Asia Star Entertainer Awards (ASEA). At the time, however, the award wasn’t officially labeled as a Daesang.
This year, as reported by Newsen, ASEA recognized Song Of The Year as a Daesang category. The update left fans excited and "DAESANG WINNER JUNGKOOK" began trending on X.

Jungkook’s record-breaking success with Seven
Jungkook released Seven in July 2023 as his official solo debut single, featuring American rapper Latto. The track is a romantic UK garage-inspired pop song that quickly became a global hit, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard Global 200.
Jungkook’s song was also the fastest in Spotify history to reach 100 million streams and later surpassed 2.3 billion streams. It made its way onto the list of the platform’s most-streamed songs of all time.
Seven also made history in Asia and Europe, debuting at No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart, setting a record for the highest debut by a Korean solo artist. Additionally, it remained on Spotify’s Global Top Songs chart for 96 consecutive weeks, the longest run by any Asian solo artist.
Even while serving in the military, Jungkook continues to set global streaming records. As of May 2025, he has achieved over 900 million streams annually for three consecutive years and remains the longest-charting Asian soloist across multiple Billboard and Spotify categories.
The Asia Star Entertainer Awards are organized by Newsen, The Star I&M, and @style magazine. The 2024 edition, in which Seven won, took place at K-Arena Yokohama in Japan and recognized artists across Asia for their music performance, impact, and professional judging.
With Jungkook’s military discharge anticipated in June 2025, fans are already looking forward to what’s next for the singer.
