Jungkook received many praises for his impeccable singing in full-English for ‘Dynamite’, his intro part is regarded by many as the highlight of the smash-hit. From his on point English pronunciation to his flawless high note at the end of the song, Jungkook truly proves himself worthy of the title Main Vocalist for the biggest boy band in the world. 

In October, Jungkook became the youngest Asian to sing for #1 and #2 songs charting simultaneously on Billboard Hot 100, when 'Savage Love Remix' charted at #1 and 'Dynamite' charted at #2 concurrently on the chart, a very rare feat especially for a Korean act. 

'Savage Love Remix' is also nominated for Best Pop (Genre Awards Category) of Melon Music Awards 2020. The remix, which features Jungkook, J-hope, and Suga from BTS, became extremely popular and successful in South Korea, especially after the news of it topping Billboard Hot 100 in October made huge headlines. The song had won its 5th Melon Popularity Award (maximum number a song can win) and spent 6 weeks in Melon Top 10. 

Korean netizens were singing praises for Jungkook and his remarkable pop voice in 'Savage Love Remix,' complimenting his skills to deliver a flawless performance singing an English pop song.

Jungkook is truly the nation's pride in every sense of the word, having achieved massive success at a remarkably young age.
