You know that thing Jungkook does where he breathes and entire countries give him awards? Yeah, he did it again.
This time, France handed him his fourth Gold certification—yes, fourth—for his solo single “3D” featuring Jack Harlow. Apparently, “3D” just passed 15 million streams over there, which is the exact number you need to earn Gold status from SNEP, France’s national music certification body. So, congratulations to French ARMY for doing the Lord’s work on repeat.
But wait—it gets better. This new Gold for “3D” joins Jungkook’s other Gold trophies in France for “Seven,” “Standing Next to You,” and his entire album GOLDEN. That makes him the first Korean solo artist to pull off a four-time Gold sweep in France. First. Ever. We hope history books are taking notes, because France clearly has.
Oh, and that GOLDEN album? It’s not just sitting pretty in playlists. It became the first Korean solo album to go Gold in France, full stop. Nobody else did it. Just Jungkook. Casual global history, yet again.
Meanwhile, “3D” isn’t just charming France. It’s been busy collecting stamps in its musical passport. It already earned Platinum and Gold certifications in Canada, snagged Gold in Japan, and is inching toward 1 billion streams on Spotify—with over 961 million as of now. In fact, “3D” made such a comeback in streaming recently that it re-entered Spotify’s Daily Top Songs Global chart on July 27, 2025, and climbed back to #166 by August 3. For a song that came out in 2023, that’s just plain disrespectful to time.
And remember, when “3D” first dropped? It landed at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed on the chart for nine weeks. It also didn’t just touch the Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts—it owned them, sitting in the Top 200 for 27 and 33 weeks, respectively. The UK Official Singles Chart? “3D” debuted at #5 there too and chilled for eight weeks.
Did we mention this track was just a pre-release single from GOLDEN? It wasn’t even the main event! Just a taste! And for those who remember, yes—there was a remix featuring Justin Timberlake later on, because when Jungkook makes a phone call, legends pick up.
So to sum this all up: Jungkook didn’t drop a new song. He didn’t film a new MV. He didn’t even sneeze on French radio. But “3D” still walked into France, shook hands with history, and left with a fourth Gold certification. That’s not just music success—that’s a cultural flex.
And to the people who still think BTS’s solo era isn’t “real success”? Jungkook just became a French-certified four-time solo Gold artist while probably sleeping in. Try again.
Long story short: France has spoken. Canada has spoken. Japan, the UK, the global charts—they’ve all spoken. And they’re all saying one thing: Jungkook doesn’t need to come back to win. He never really left.
