"Seven," a hit solo track by BTS member Jung Kook, has surpassed 3 billion streams on Spotify, making him the first Korean artist to hit the threshold with a single song, his agency BigHit Music said Tuesday.
"Seven" is also the only song released in 2023 globally to reach the milestone, according to the agency.
A passionate serenade about wanting to spend every day with a loved one, "Seven" blends a catchy melody with a warm acoustic guitar sound and rhythms from UK garage, a genre of electronic music that emerged in Britain in the early 1990s.
The song's music video surpassed 600 million views on YouTube in April.
