The collaboration between BTS Jungkook and Usher has been concluded

Jungkook and the ‘King of R&B’ Usher met.

BTS Jungkook released a remix of the title song 'Standing Next to You' from his solo album 'GOLDEN' at 2pm on the 1st (Korean time). This remix features American R&B artist Usher and is a song that exudes a different charm from the original song.

'Standing Next to You - Usher Remix' retains the energetic atmosphere of the original song, but a softer sensibility is added through Usher's featuring. The synergy created by Jungkook's powerful and captivating voice and Usher's appealing vocals is unrivaled. Usher showed off his presence by leading the song with his sweet and addictive tone.

After Jungkook released his solo album, he received rave reviews from overseas media. Among them, the American daily USA TODAY highlighted Jungkook's activities by mentioning Usher. The media listed Usher, Justin Bieber, Shawn Mendes, Michael Jackson, etc. and said, "Jungkook has won the ticket to pop superstardom with 'GOLDEN'." .

Jungkook caused a 'Jungkook syndrome' in the global music market with 'Seven (feat. Latto)', singles '3D (feat. Jack Harlow)' and 'GOLDEN' released in July. In particular, through collaboration with leading male solo artists of the 2000s, such as Usher and Justin Timberlake, who appeared on the '3D' remix, Jungkook has solidified his status as a male solo singer leading the 2020s and continuing the 'pop star' lineage. .
