BTS (BTS) Jungkook was selected as the world's 15 most famous people and reaffirmed his position as a global icon.

Jungkook was recently included in the list of the world's top 15 most famous people by the U.S. portal site AOL.

Jungkook is the only Asian to be ranked 15th with his real name, "Jon Jungkook." He was among the top 15 most famous people in the world, beating the president and other figures in politics, culture, sports and business. There are only two male artists, Justin Bieber.

"A versatile billionaire boasts numerous talents as an accomplished singer, rapper, songwriter, director, producer, and art lover," AOL said, explaining that he has the charm of a versatile all-rounder.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Elon Musk, and Barack Obama were included in the list of the world's 15 most famous people. Jungkook showed a strong global presence by standing shoulder to shoulder with them.

Jungkook ranked No. 1 as the most searched male K-pop idol on YouTube around the world in 2025 and maintained the No. 1 spot for the fifth consecutive year. It also ranked No. 1 as the most searched male idol group in the U.S. in 2025.

He also topped the list of most searched K-pop idols on Google for more than five years. On the global short video platform 'TikTok', it became the first solo artist in the world to surpass 300 billion views with the hashtag '#jungkook'.

Jungkook was selected as the first and only Korean male singer in the "200 Greatest Singers of All Time" released by Rolling Stone, a leading American pop music magazine. Through this, he demonstrated his influence as a global solo artist with different classes.

Jungkook topped Billboard's "2024 Billboard K-Pop Artist 100" list. He was also listed on the "A100" list of "most influential Asian 100 people" released by Gold House, a non-profit organization supporting cultural artists in the Asia-Pacific region.
