Jung Kook has added another major streaming milestone to his solo catalog. His fan-favorite song “Still With You,” co-written by Jung Kook, has surpassed 500 million streams on Spotify, becoming the sixth Jung Kook track to cross the half-billion mark on the platform.
BIGHIT MUSIC confirmed the milestone in early September 2026, and reports citing Spotify data said the song passed 500 million cumulative plays on September 6. The achievement is especially notable because “Still With You” did not begin as a conventional commercial single. Jung Kook first shared the song for free in June 2020 as part of BTS FESTA, before it received an official global streaming release in July 2023.
“Still With You” Becomes Jung Kook’s Sixth 500M-Stream Track
With “Still With You” crossing 500 million plays, Jung Kook now has six tracks that have reached at least that level on Spotify: “Seven,” “Standing Next to You,” “Left and Right” with Charlie Puth, “3D,” “Dreamers,” and “Still With You.” Yonhap reported that “Seven,” his official solo debut single, has also moved beyond 3 billion Spotify streams.
| Track | 500M+ Spotify milestone | Context |
|---|---|---|
| “Seven” | Yes | Over 3 billion streams |
| “Standing Next to You” | Yes | Lead single from GOLDEN |
| “Left and Right” | Yes | Collaboration with Charlie Puth |
| “3D” | Yes | 2023 solo single |
| “Dreamers” | Yes | FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 soundtrack |
| “Still With You” | Yes | Self-written song first shared during BTS FESTA 2020 |
The six-song list shows the breadth of Jung Kook’s streaming appeal. It includes major pop singles, a global collaboration, a World Cup anthem and a fan-focused release that spent years building its audience without the kind of launch normally associated with a blockbuster single.
Why the “Still With You” Milestone Feels Different
“Still With You” has always occupied a different place in Jung Kook’s discography. The song arrived in June 2020 ahead of BTS’s seventh anniversary and was originally offered as a free track. Its rain-soaked opening, jazz-influenced melody and restrained vocal performance gave it a more intimate mood than many of Jung Kook’s later pop releases.
That history matters because the song’s current Spotify total reflects years of organic listener interest. When BIGHIT MUSIC officially released “Still With You” to major streaming platforms in July 2023, the song immediately gained a new global audience. It went on to peak at No. 33 on Billboard Global Excl. U.S. and No. 62 on the Billboard Global 200.
Yonhap also reported that the track reached No. 1 on iTunes Top Songs charts in 83 countries and regions. The combination of long-term fan attachment and strong post-release chart performance helps explain why “Still With You” has continued to accumulate hundreds of millions of streams well after its first appearance.

From a Free FESTA Song to a Global Streaming Long-Runner
The path of “Still With You” is unusual by modern pop standards. The song was not introduced with a major physical release, radio campaign or traditional promotional cycle. It was first known primarily within the BTS fandom, where it developed a reputation as one of Jung Kook’s most personal solo tracks.
Three years later, the decision to officially distribute the song on commercial streaming services gave that existing fan demand a measurable global platform. Instead of disappearing after an initial release spike, the track kept attracting listeners over time. That kind of longevity is important because cumulative streaming milestones are built not only by debut-week attention but also by repeat listening months and years later.
For Jung Kook, the 500 million figure also broadens the story of his solo career. His biggest international hits such as “Seven” and “Standing Next to You” were designed for the global pop market, while “Still With You” comes from a much more intimate period of his songwriting. Both styles now sit inside the same half-billion-stream club.
Jung Kook’s Streaming Power Continues Beyond GOLDEN
The milestone arrives as Jung Kook’s catalog continues to perform strongly on Spotify years after his 2023 solo breakthrough. “Seven” remains the standout at more than 3 billion streams, while several other tracks have crossed the billion-stream level. “Still With You” adds another layer to that success because it proves that the audience is not only streaming the most heavily promoted singles.
It also demonstrates how BTS members’ older solo material can gain a second life when it becomes widely available on mainstream platforms. A song first shared as a gift to fans in 2020 is now part of one of the most successful streaming catalogs among K-pop solo artists.
Why 500 Million Streams Matters for “Still With You”
Reaching 500 million Spotify streams is significant for any song, but “Still With You” stands out because its path was very different from a conventional global pop single. It was not launched with a large-scale radio campaign, a physical single, a formal music-video rollout or a long television promotion cycle. Instead, the song built its reputation through fan discovery, repeat listening and word of mouth before eventually arriving on major streaming platforms.
That makes the milestone a useful measure of long-term demand rather than only opening-week attention. Songs can post huge numbers during a heavily promoted debut and then slow sharply. “Still With You” followed the opposite pattern: it spent years as a fan favorite and later gained a second life when it became easier for listeners around the world to access on Spotify and other commercial services.
For Jung Kook, the result also shows that his streaming power is not limited to his biggest English-language pop singles. “Seven,” “3D” and “Standing Next to You” were released during his high-profile solo era and were supported by major global promotion. “Still With You,” by contrast, comes from an earlier and more personal chapter of his career. The fact that both kinds of songs can reach massive streaming totals gives his catalog unusual depth.
How “Still With You” Grew From BTS FESTA to Spotify
The history of “Still With You” helps explain why the song has such a strong emotional connection with fans. Jung Kook first shared it in June 2020 during BTS FESTA, the annual period when BTS celebrates its anniversary with ARMY through special content and releases. At that time, the song was widely understood as a gift to fans rather than a traditional commercial single.
That original release context shaped how listeners experienced the track. The song’s restrained production, rainy atmosphere and intimate vocal delivery made it feel personal rather than promotional. Over time, it became one of the Jung Kook songs most closely associated with late-night listening, fan edits and reflective playlists.
When “Still With You” received an official global streaming release in July 2023, a large audience was already waiting for it. That transition is important. Instead of starting from zero, the commercial release converted years of existing fan interest into measurable streams on Spotify, Apple Music and other services. Its later Billboard Global chart appearances showed that demand extended beyond only the core BTS fan community.
What the Six 500M-Stream Songs Say About Jung Kook’s Solo Catalog
Jung Kook’s six tracks above 500 million Spotify streams cover several very different styles and release strategies. “Seven” is a global pop hit, “3D” leans into rhythmic pop and R&B influences, “Standing Next to You” is a performance-driven retro-pop track, “Left and Right” is an international collaboration with Charlie Puth, “Dreamers” is tied to the FIFA World Cup, and “Still With You” began as a fan-focused release co-written by Jung Kook.
That variety matters because it suggests the streaming totals are not being driven by one formula. Jung Kook has been able to attract listeners through major event songs, collaborations, chart-focused singles and quieter catalog tracks. For a solo artist, having multiple kinds of songs reach the same large streaming threshold is a stronger signal than having one breakout single carry most of the total audience.
It also helps explain why Jung Kook remains one of the most closely watched K-pop solo artists on global streaming platforms. His catalog combines the scale of BTS fandom with songs that have developed their own identities outside group promotions. “Still With You” is perhaps the clearest example because its success is closely tied to longevity and fan attachment rather than a single promotional moment.
Why Long-Term Streaming Can Be More Revealing Than a Debut Peak
Streaming milestones are cumulative, so they reward consistency. A strong first week can create headlines, but reaching hundreds of millions of plays usually requires a song to remain in listeners’ routines for a long period. Playlist discovery, fan recommendations, seasonal listening patterns and repeated personal listening all contribute over time.
For “Still With You,” longevity is especially relevant because the song had already existed for years before its official streaming-platform release. The 500 million mark therefore reflects two stages of audience growth: the original fan-driven phase and the later commercial-streaming phase. That makes the milestone different from a song that was available on Spotify from day one.
The continued performance also shows how catalog songs can become increasingly valuable in the streaming era. Once a track is available globally, it can keep finding new listeners long after its original release date. Older songs can resurface through social media, live performances, playlists or renewed interest in an artist’s broader catalog. In that sense, “Still With You” is not only a 2020 song or a 2023 streaming release; it has become a continuing part of Jung Kook’s global solo identity.
“Still With You” in the Current Phase of BTS’s Group and Solo Activities
The milestone also arrives at a time when interest in BTS members’ individual catalogs remains high alongside renewed full-group activity. That combination can benefit older solo songs because new listeners often move backward through an artist’s discography after discovering newer releases.
For readers following BTS as a group, KWaveScope has also covered the group’s wider 2026 momentum, including BTS “SWIM” on Billboard’s Global Songs of the Summer and the group’s record-setting U.S. NFL stadium box-office results. Those stories show the scale of BTS activity at the group level, while “Still With You” highlights the continuing strength of an individual member’s catalog.
That is why the 500 million milestone is more than another number. It connects Jung Kook’s earlier songwriting, his later solo breakthrough and the current period of renewed global attention around BTS. A song that began as a quiet gift to fans has now become one of the most-streamed tracks in his solo catalog.
