BTS member Jungkook is one of the most popular pop stars in the world and is currently on a hiatus to proceed with his mandatory military service. Before enlisting in the military, Jungkook collaborated with American singer-songwriter and dancer Usher for his single 'Standing Next To You (Remix)'. In a recent interview, Usher talked about why he wanted to collaborate with Jungkook and praised the dance choreography of the music video.

While speaking to iHeartRadio during the promotions of his latest album, Usher said, "Standing Next to You was obviously a smash when Jungkook put it out. I just wanted to participate in the magic."

He added, "I’m now recognizing I have K-Pop fans. So, I guess I gotta do more in that area, yeah? I love this song because it made me feel like early Michael. Something about it made me think about those days, made me think about Rock With You."
