BTS (BTS) Jungkook once again shone in the "Sold Out King" aspect.

On the 15th, fashion magazine ELLE Japan announced on social media that it would release Jungkook's special edition magazine in the spring of 2026 and carried out a pre-sale.

About 40 minutes after the announcement, the magazine was quickly sold out on "HMV&BOOKS" online operated by HMV, a large Japanese record shop, and Jungkook's popularity was confirmed once again locally.

Yes 24, Korea's largest Internet bookstore, also ranked No. 1 in real-time best-selling products in about two hours, proving the super-strong "Jungkook effect" at home and abroad.

Elle Japan Spring 2026 Special Edition magazine, which will be released on Jan. 28, features Jungkook on the cover. The special and colorful Jungkook will feature a total of 32 pages of charm.

Earlier on the 9th, the nine individual and set versions of Elle magazine covered by Jungkook were all sold out at the "Weverse Shop."

On the 4th, Elle Korea said, "The city of Paris in the eyes of Jungkook, and everything about Chanel perfume." The pictorial video, which was posted with the message, "We captured the meeting between Jungkook and Chanel, the two icons that resonate across the present and the past, in a beautiful video," continues to be explosive in popularity and buzz, surpassing 24.25 million views in 10 days on the official Instagram.

Jungkook topped the list of The 2024 Billboard K-Pop Artist 100 released by Billboard, an American music media outlet, and was selected as the Billboard's Greatest Pop Stars of 2023: Introduction and Honorable Mentions (Staff List).

At the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards 2024, Jungkook won two awards in the K-Pop Artist of the Year and the Best Music Video category with Seven, setting the record for the most awards by Asian solo artists in history. At the 2024 People's Choice Awards (2024 People's Choice Awards, PCAs), it won the "The Male Artist of the Year" category for the first and only time by an Asian artist.

Jungkook proved his unrivaled global status as a solo artist, being the only Korean male singer on the list of "200 Greatest Singers of All Time" released by Rolling Stone, a major U.S. popular music magazine, and being selected as "A100," a list of "most influential Asian 100 people" released by Gold House, a non-profit organization supporting cultural artists in the Asia-Pacific region.

Jungkook was offered to perform his solo song "Standing Next to You" with R&B singer Usher at the 2024 Super Bowl halftime show, but reportedly failed to accept the guest invitation due to his military service.
