Will Jungkook be as big as Zayn?

Jungkook did not have to enlist until 2028

He had the potential to become as big as Harry Styles.

I do think that RM and all these people who cried for OT7 had a large role on Jungkook's early enlistment

and the Koreans rewarded him by voting for New Jeans instead of him

This year's Gallup showed BTS' sacrifice for Korea was in vain

Arthur Wellesley Wellington — ‘It had been a damned nice thing - the nearest run thing you ever saw in your life. (Waterloo 18 June 1815)'I

It might have been a 'nearest run thing' but Napoleon ended his day in a tiny room in St. Helena, 2,000 miles away from a big landmass, while the Dukedom of Wellington still exists.

2023 Gallup Song of the Year
1. NewJeans - Super Shy 6.8%
2. Jungkook (ft. Latto) - Seven 6.7%

The difference is 0.1% but the impact is eternal

Because of this he lost the chance to show up in Super Bowl with Usher

A chance which will NEVER come back

It seems he is now a broken man, never to rise to the world stage again.

In 2023 he could be compared to Harry Styles

And now he will be comparable with Zayn

Zayn is not that famous - despite of singing it with Jisoo, this video has not hit 100m views

However, at least in terms of celebrity, Zayn is way ahead of Jungkook

Zayn is perhaps best known for his tumultuous relationship with Gigi Hadid

At least Gigi Hadid is well known around the world

And Jungkook was linked to Kim Minjeong, a name hardly known outside of the Kpop world

it seems that thanks to RM and those who cried OT7, the difference of stature of Zayn and Jungkook is probably as large as Gigi Hadid and Kim Minjeong.

Never

Before 2024 he was on the way to overcome Harry Styles, and become the biggest soloist of the world

Now, you are correct.

Quote from Seoged

No. He will only be known as Winter's husband.

That was a huge blow

since it decided that his fame won't really leave Korea

If he dated someone outside of Korea then maybe he would still have wielded power in Asia

But he chose to be associated with a girl from his hometown Pusan, which is a fatal mistake

Quote from Jasque-O-Part2

Can he get a feat with Zayn?

Jisoo can

Well, before his foolish enlistment, he did get a featuring from Latto so he would have gotten someone better if he did not enlist

Quote from notbored

can he sing as good?

Isn't he the chief vocalist of BTS? He would have done as well as Harry Styles or more if he did not enlist

At this stage, I am not even sure if Jungkook is ahead of IU globally.

Quote from littlemissnoname

If he can stay successful while publicly dating or having a child with a supermodel, and his fans still support him, then we can say he’s on Zayn’s level. Until then no.

If the supermodel is Korean, that does not count

Quote from bangmenah

While zayn is my favorite… is he like a goal? To he obscurely popular and drop a single with moderate success every 4 years?

I think people were hoping JK could pull a JB….

I just chose Zayn because he did not reach the level of Harry Styles.

If Jungkook did not enlist and spent 2024 and 2025 doing concerts, he would have gotten the exemption because of his achievements , and also would have a good shot of overcoming JB, who has not really done too much in the last few years.

Jungkook had that much potential, but all of that was wasted because of Bang, RM and those who cried for OT7 and he is now comparable for Zayn.
