BTS vocalist Jungkook's latest single, 'Standing Next To You,' released in November 2023, has made significant waves in the music industry. The track, which is the third single from his debut studio album 'Golden,' quickly ascended the global charts, including notable positions on the Billboard rankings. This rapid success highlights Jungkook's growing influence as a solo artist.
In addition to the original release, a remix featuring Usher was launched on December 1, 2023, further expanding the song's reach and appeal. The single has not only garnered impressive streaming numbers but has also sparked discussions regarding its artistic integrity.
Recently, the song faced allegations of plagiarism from Vietnamese pop singer Hùng Huỳnh, whose track 'Chẳng Thể Nhắm Mắt' has been accused of mirroring the melody and choreography of Jungkook's work. This controversy has led to a trending hashtag, #StopCopyingBTS, as fans express their outrage over perceived similarities.
Moreover, Jungkook's ongoing military service has not hindered his artistic contributions; he also released a docu-series titled 'I AM STILL,' which provides an intimate look into his life and career. Directed by Park Jun-Soo, the series includes exclusive interviews and concert footage, further solidifying Jungkook's status as a prominent figure in contemporary pop music.
