BTS Jungkook
BTS Jungkook bagged the 'Top Global K-Pop Song' win for 'Seven' featuring Latto at the Billboard Music Awards 2023. Seven has continually made history since its release. The single has not stopped climbing up charts, staying in the top position for days on end; it has effectively been one of the most popular songs of the year. It has been the crowning jewel of the Billboard Top 100 and Top 200, alongside other K-pop artists, since July 14, 2023.
Seven faced tough competition from K-pop artists like Fifty Fifty's Cupid, Jimin's Like Crazy, NewJeans's Ditto, and NewJeans's OMG. Jungkook even recorded an acceptance speech to thank the Army for their continued support.
