Jungkook of BTS has been selected as the inaugural artist for Rolling Stone's new global initiative.

Rolling Stone UK recently unveiled a solo cover featuring Jungkook, marking a historic collaboration between the magazine's Korea, UK, and Japan editions — the first joint project since its founding.

A Landmark for K-Pop Solo Artists

Jungkook is the first K-pop solo artist to grace the cover of Rolling Stone UK. His visuals will also appear across digital covers in the United States, France, India, the Philippines, and China, underscoring his unmatched worldwide presence.

In the accompanying interview, Jungkook shared his artistic mindset, saying, "This is a moment of leap. I want to keep evolving by trying new things and showing different sides of myself."

He added that he hopes to become "an artist who leads the flow, not one who follows it — someone without limits."

Jungkook recently surpassed 10 billion cumulative streams on Spotify, becoming the first Korean solo artist to reach the milestone.
