BTS (BTS) Jungkook was selected as the world's most famous 25 people, proving his "world class" presence.

Jungkook was included in the list of the "Top 25 Most Famous People in the World" selected by worldfamousthings.com , an information-based website that introduces famous people, places, food, natural phenomena, and art from all over the world. Jungkook was ranked at No. 18 on the list and was the only K-pop singer to be named.

Music, sports, politics, and Silicon Valley figures such as soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, top man and entrepreneur Elon Musk, current U.S. President Donald Trump, pop star Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, YouTuber Mr. Beast, influencer Kim Kardashian, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, and NBA player LeBron James were listed on the list.

worldfamousthings described Jungkook as "a globally popular and influential music star," adding, "Jungkook has captured the hearts of countless fans around the world with his strong voice, charming personality, and outstanding performance, and is an international icon that is popular worldwide beyond Korea."

"Jungkook was loved by billions of fans, topping overseas charts with solo songs such as 'Seven,' '3D,' and 'Standing Next to You,'" he said. "These activities proved that Jungkook is not just a group, but a strong independent artist with a huge fandom around the world."

"Jungkook will become one of the most famous and acclaimed young artists in the world in 2026, and will inspire fans through his music, talent, and dedication."
