With great success comes great responsibility. This seems to be the case with BTS's Jungkook, who in a new interview with "Weverse" magazine revealed that the success of the K-pop band with the English singles "Dynamite" and "Butter" set the bar close to the height.
"I was never attached to the rankings, but as good as it is and as happy as I have been since we continued to record with Dynamite, it also looks like a burden," Jungkook said when asked about the second English speaker. BTS single, "Butter" which remained at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 for seven consecutive weeks.
"A lot of people have given me recognition, so I was thinking I had to work harder, but we did even better with 'Butter' than 'Dynamite,' so I think I ended up feeling overwhelmed," Jungkook said. he said of the incredible success of the BTS, surpassing even his wildest imagination.
"I like it. "The BTS is an amazing team, but maybe my problem is that I can't keep up with the BTS," he said.

Although he sometimes feels out of tune, Jungkook has given ARMY members hope that they will hear more from him soon after talking about his long-awaited solo mixtape.
The 23-year-old singer realized the period of inactivity that the BTS went through due to the lockdown and the pause of the concerts, that he had to "hurry" and prepare a solo mixtape.
"I was working on it shortly before I came here. But it is difficult! I could do it for myself. I started as a trainee when I was 13, worked hard and was successful. "But anyone could do that."
"So I keep thinking that I want to create my own original and complex story and write the songs starting from there. Billie Eilish's first album left a big mark on this issue when it came out. And it would be nice to have a coherent flow in the song list, but even if everything is mixed up, it will also be okay, as long as the good songs keep coming. "This is something I am thinking about," he described.
"So today, instead of focusing on the history of the album as a whole, I will write what I want to say in each song. If I feel this feeling as soon as I hear a song, I will try and succeed. "And I will try to make it a little lighter," he added.
Although he did not announce the release date of the mixtape, Jungkook said he had done his best to "release it as soon as possible". "I want to write and record a lot of material," said the BTS member.
