Jung Kook's Tribute To Michael Jackson In 'Standing Next To You' Video Teaser, Watch!

Jung Kook is just a few days from embracing his role as a pop soloist, making it fitting for him to draw inspiration from the King of Pop for his upcoming music video. Before the much-anticipated launch of his debut solo album Golden, the BTS sensation offered a glimpse of the music video for one of the album's singles, "Standing Next to You," hinting at a subtle homage to Michael Jackson.

On Wednesday (Nov. 1), the unveiled teaser showcases Jung Kook donning a military jacket reminiscent of MJ's style, adorned with metallic accents and tassels, as he skillfully replicates some of the late icon's trademark dance moves, notably the iconic crotch grab. Additionally, the teaser highlights the K-pop sensation standing alone, adorned with a stunning set of black angel wings, exuding a majestic aura.

The teaser arrives merely two days prior to the album's highly anticipated release on Friday (Nov. 3), which will coincide with the full debut of the "Standing Next to You" music video. Impressively, even before its official release, Golden is already setting records. Earlier this week, Jung Kook's collaboration with Latto, "Seven," achieved the remarkable feat of becoming the fastest song in Spotify history to amass 1 billion streams.

Earlier this year, the song not only marked Jung Kook's first-ever Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 but also solidified his position as a rising star in the industry. Furthermore, his collaboration with Jack Harlow, "3D," included in the Golden tracklist, made a significant impact, debuting at an impressive No. 5 on the chart, further showcasing his prowess and versatility as an artist.

His streak of successful collaborations continues unabated. Just this week, his track "Too Much" with Central Cee and The Kid LAROI propelled Jung Kook to the unprecedented milestone of becoming the first South Korean soloist to secure three songs within the top 10 rankings of the Official U.K. Singles chart.
