Lee Yoon-jeong, Culture Columnist mentioned Jungkook while discussing the Michael Jackson legacy.
“If MJ were alive, wouldn't he have stood side by side with Jungkook, performing a dance challenge that spans centuries & blowing up algorithms worldwide? How pleased he must have been to see young Koreans, who look just like him, commanding the world”
“Jungkook's solo song, "Standing Next You." The dazzling footwork that dominates the scene, the intense hip thrusts, and the performance oscillating between stillness and movement go beyond a mere homage. It was a "declaration of heritage," proclaiming the grand lineage upon which his music stands”
