Jungkook’s graduation comes just a week after BTS were named the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry’s (IFPI) global recording artist of the year. 

The band made history as the first act to win the award for two consecutive years, with the award being calculated according to an artist’s or group’s worldwide performance across digital and physical music formats during the year – including music downloads, streams and physical sales – and covers their entire body of work.
