The realm of K-pop has witnessed a seismic shift as Jungkook, a member of the beloved sensation BTS, emerges as the new ruler of Spotify. Surpassing even his own group, Jungkook commands an astonishing 35,407,241 monthly listeners, solidifying his position as the reigning king of the streaming platform. This electrifying news has propelled the dedicated ARMY - BTS' passionate fanbase - into a whirlwind of jubilation and surprisingly, anger. Marked by trending hashtags like HISTORY MAKER JUNGKOOK and ENDED BTS.
Jungkook's extraordinary solo achievement on Spotify stands as a testament to his individual prowess. His surge of listeners has not only propelled him to the forefront but has also positioned him as the K-act with the highest number of monthly listeners. This milestone reverberates with ARMY's unwavering support, showcasing their undying dedication to both Jungkook and the larger BTS phenomenon.
Among the celebratory frenzy, a distinct trend has emerged - the phrase "ENDED BTS." This humorous nod to Jungkook's triumphant ascent harks back to a similar trend triggered by RM, another BTS member. When RM's solo track 'Indigo' soared up the charts, fans playfully rallied under the banner "Ended BTS," marking a shift in Spotify's landscape.
Yet, as ARMY basks in the glow of Jungkook's solo glory, some members of the fandom reflect on the importance of unity. They voice concerns that trends like "ENDED BTS" might inadvertently sow seeds of division. A compassionate sentiment finds its voice in a fan's tweet: "#endedbts who created this trend hate bts in first place & want JK to be a part for their own reasons (sic.)" Other ARMY members banded together to celebrate this historic win:
