The wait is finally over for the fans who have been eagerly anticipating Jungkook’s solo debut. The golden maknae of BTS is set to release his first solo album on July 14th, according to a report by Sports Chosun (source). The album will reportedly include an English B-side track and Jungkook might also embark on some global solo activities. BigHit Music, BTS’ agency, has confirmed that Jungkook is preparing for his solo album, but has not revealed the exact schedule yet.
Jungkook is known for being an all-rounder who can sing, rap, dance, produce and write songs. He has already showcased his talent and versatility through various solo songs and collaborations. Some of his notable works include ‘Still With You’ and ‘My You’ on SoundCloud, ‘Stay Alive’ for the webtoon ‘7FATES: CHAKHO’ OST, ‘Dreamers’ for the 2022 FIFA Qatar World Cup theme song, and ‘Left and Right’ with American singer Charlie Puth.
He has also broken several records on Spotify, the world’s largest music streaming platform, with his solo songs. He became the first K-pop solo singer to surpass 600 million streams in the shortest time with ‘Left and Right’, and the first K-pop solo singer to reach 1 billion streams in the shortest time with three songs. He was also listed in the ‘World Guinness Records’ for his achievements.
Fans are curious about what kind of music and concept Jungkook will present in his solo album. As he recently met Andrew Watt, a famous producer who won a Grammy with Chairman Bang Si-hyuk of HYBE in the United States, there are high expectations for a high-quality album that will showcase Jungkook’s unique charm and voice.
Jungkook will be the sixth BTS member to release a solo album, following J-Hope, RM, Jin, Suga, and Jimin. Fans are already expressing their excitement and support for Jungkook on social media with hashtags like #JUNGKOOKISCOMING and #JJK1JULY14TH. It seems that Jungkook will once again make history with his solo album and prove himself as a global superstar.
