BTS’s Jungkook is ushering in a new era of excitement as he graces the latest cover of Rolling Stone UK, marking a major moment ahead of the group’s highly anticipated return next year. In a global exclusive presented jointly by Rolling Stone editions in Japan, Korea, the UK, India, France, Brazil, the Philippines, and China, the youngest BTS member sat down for a wide-ranging feature that reflects both his personal achievements and the group’s future.
The magazine will release three exclusive variant covers through Rolling Stone Japan, Korea, and the UK, set to be unveiled on December 8, 2025. For now, fans can enjoy an exclusive teaser cover, with pre-orders already available for those eager to secure the collectible editions.
Jungkook’s feature arrives on the heels of a record-breaking year. His 2023 solo single “Seven” set a new benchmark in digital streaming, surpassing 2.5 billion Spotify streams as of August, according to Big Hit Music. The milestone marks the first time a K-pop track has crossed such a threshold, even surpassing BTS’s own global hit “Dynamite.” In total, Jungkook’s releases have now accumulated an astonishing 9.4 billion streams, officially making him the most-streamed K-pop solo artist in history.
The singer’s accomplishments came shortly after he completed South Korea’s 18-month mandatory military service in June, discharged alongside fellow member Jimin. Their return followed RM and V’s completion of service just a week earlier.
With all members now back, anticipation for BTS’s full-group comeback is reaching new heights. The group confirmed that they will reunite in 2026, with a new album slated for spring.
