South Korean singer and BTS member Jungkook has gained attention for his recent solo debut album GOLDEN. The 26-year-old K-pop star broke significant Spotify records with the release of his new album in less than a month. Prior to the release of GOLDEN in October, the Seven hitmaker had announced two remix versions of his songs. After the remixes were revealed, fans expressed their desire for Jungkook to collaborate with Usher. Now, it appears that the K-pop star has granted his fans’ wishes.

On November 29 midnight KST, the 3D singer announced an upcoming remix version of his solo song “Standing Next To You” featuring American singer-songwriter Usher. Jungkook’s music production house, BIGHIT, took to social media to announce the upcoming track, which will be released later in December.

Fans elated as Jungkook announces new remix track
Following the news going viral on social media, fans flooded various platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram with comments expressing their anticipation over what to expect. One user wrote, “We will be streaming! Also, y’all don’t realize how hard it is to make it in the US as a non-western artist. Also, if it was really chart obsession, hs would’ve chose someone other than Usher. He chose Usher because he is an R&B influence!”
Another fan said, “I think Jungkook’s strength is no joke, everyone wants to work with him.” One more wrote, “As the voice of K-pop, I speak for everyone when I say that we are all highly anticipating this remix and that it is guaranteed to be absolutely incredible with phenomenal production and amazing vocals.”
