"Well. Good f**kin morning to me and everyone else who stans the golden maknae!"

"King Kook," another added.

"Nobody will ever forget the fact SEVEN has reached this huge mark in the same week Golden is released. An album that is about to come with a song that is collecting 1 billion streams records! SEVEN, you will always be a queen. More than deserved. [sic]"

While other fans commented congratulations and celebrated the achievement, several have already begun promoting the singer's upcoming album, "Golden."

Jungkook Talks 'Golden'

"I have so much to show you. My first tattoo was of you guys (flexing the tattoo)," the KPOP idol said.

On several occasions, Jungkook has appeared on the talk show, where they candidly talk about the upcoming release, and what happened behind the scenes, leading up to the creation of the album.

"My solo album... My solo album is on its way," Jungkook said back in September.
