Shocking recognition of global influence: BTS’s Jungkook has been chosen as a headline subject for the U.S. educational biography series 'Brain Candy Books' aimed at elementary school readers.
According to industry sources on the 6th, Jungkook is the first Korean singer to be featured in Capstone’s 'Brain Candy Books,' a biographical series published for elementary school students in the United States.
The series spotlights globally influential figures to deliver inspiring, kid-friendly facts. Alongside Jungkook, Dua Lipa, Lionel Messi, Selena Gomez, and Cristiano Ronaldo were also selected.
The book covers Jungkook’s upbringing, music career, and life motto. It also highlights his record as the first Korean solo artist to land seven songs on the Billboard 'Hot 100,' and his milestone performance of an official soundtrack at the opening ceremony of the 2022 FIFA World Cup—the first for a Korean artist.
