The Circle Album Chart (formerly Gaon Album Chart), powered by the Korea Music Content Association, a.k.a.

Not long ago, the Chart rolled out its 'Top 15 Cumulative Album (Physical) Sales in 2023', where GOLDEN clinched the top spot among both male and female soloists, recording sales of 2,702,453 copies.

Moreover, the album even became a double million-seller on Hanteo within five hours of its release, making Jungkook the first and only K-pop soloist in the Chart's history to sell 2 million+ (2,147,389) copies on the first day of the album's launch. At the same time, BTS' Jungkook took home Best Dance Performance Male Solo and Best Collaboration at the 2023 MAMA Awards with Seven (feat. Latto) from the album.

At the 2024 Circle Chart Music Awards, he grabbed Artist Of The Year - Global Streaming for Seven (ft. Latto) - Explicit Version and Artist Of The Year - Digital for Seven (ft. Latto) - Clean Version. Furthermore, he was awarded Artist Of The Year for Physical Album with GOLDEN, making him the first solo artist in four years to receive this honor.

GOLDEN also won Physical Bonsang (Best Album), while Seven won Digital Bonsang (Best Digital Song) at the 38th Golden Disc Awards. Now, with GOLDEN (Weverse Album Ver.) achieving a 2x Platinum record, there are anticipations of seeing how the singer behind Yes or No will perform next.
