”Hardworking genius” BTS' JUNG KOOK's documentary released today (18th)... Producers praise him

The documentary containing the essence of ‘BTS’ Jung Kook is unveiled.

On the 18th, Jung Kook's first solo documentary film ‘JUNG KOOK: I AM STILL’ was released on CGV in South Korea and in theatres in about 120 countries/regions. In Japan, the film will start screening on the 4th October. 'JUNG KOOK: I AM STILL' contains the album production process and activity diary of about eight months from Jung Kook's first solo single “Seven (feat. Latto)” to his solo album “GOLDEN”.

Jung Kook talks candidly about his thoughts and feelings while doing his first solo activity in the film. Although he has reached the top as ‘BTS’, he still has many things he wants to do and show, and he expresses how he struggles every moment.

The production team of ‘GOLDEN’, who watched Jung Kook's blood, sweat and tears up close, were amazed by his natural talent and described him as a hard-working artist. In an interview, he paid tribute to his talent, saying, "The best dancer in the world had to work hard to keep up with him," adding "Jung Kook is a person who works harder than anything else. This is the point where Jung Kook became a great artist, a professional and a great friend."

Andrew Watt, producer of ‘Standing Next to You’, the title track of ‘Seven (feat. Latto)’ and ‘GOLDEN’, added "The hallmark of extraordinary stars is that they work the hardest, and Jung Kook is like that. What more could you want as a producer from an artist who keeps repeating the same part over and over until everyone is satisfied?" Producer Pdogg, who has been following Jung Kook since before BTS' debut, said "The patterns are genius. He catches on to songs faster than anyone else and digests them well in his own unique style, which is ‘pop’ itself."

In addition to this, ‘JUNG KOOK: I AM STILL’ also includes behind-the-scenes footage of his solo career and interviews that have never been released before. The special contents that allow viewers to appreciate the essence of artist Jung Kook will be a valuable gift to the audience.

Meanwhile, Jung Kook has established his position as a leading male solo artist of the 2020s with successive hits ‘Seven (feat. Latto)’, ‘3D (feat. Jack Harlow)’ and ‘Standing Next to You’. He also became the first K-pop solo singer to simultaneously reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, Global 200 and Global 200 (excluding the US) with ‘Seven (feat. Latto)’ and achieved one billion streams in the shortest period in Spotify history with this song. Jung Kook's solo album ‘GOLDEN’ spent 24 consecutive weeks on the ‘Billboard 200’, making it the longest charting K-pop solo album.
