BTS’ Golden Maknae does it again! Jungkook has now achieved another historic milestone with his solo album, ‘GOLDEN’. The K-pop sensation has become the first Korean soloist to receive the prestigious BRIT Silver Certification in the UK.

On September 2, the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) announced that Jungkook’s debut solo album, ‘GOLDEN’, has been awarded the BRIT Silver Certification in the United Kingdom. The BPI bestows the Silver Certificate on albums once they reach 60,000 units sold. On the other hand, singles receive the Silver Certificate at 200,000 units. This new addition to the K-pop idol’s wall of fame is a historic milestone. With this achievement, Jungkook becomes the first-ever Korean soloist to earn the Silver Certification for an album in the UK.
