Not only fans but the public is also showing keen interest in Jungkook’s solo album.
The news that BTS Jungkook would be the next member to release a solo album broke out on June 4th, ahead of BTS’s 10th debut anniversary. Some media outlets even pointed out the specific date of July 14th. BTS’s agency denied it, saying “We would announce the schedule after it is confirmed”, however, it seems to be true that Jungkook’s solo album will be introduced soon.
As the members have started to enlist one after another, BTS is focusing on promoting individual activities. Starting with the eldest member Jin, RM, J-Hope, Jimin and Suga have released albums and showcased their own music color as solo artists instead of BTS. Therefore, fans are waiting for the remaining two members, Jungkook and V.
Jungkook has been the official main vocalist of BTS since the group’s debut and he sometimes takes the role of a sub-rapper. Having both vocal and rap skills, Jungkook has revealed various charms through solo songs of different genres, such as “Euphoria”, “MY TIME”, etc. The youngest member of BTS also proved his wide spectrum through his covers of Korean songs, such as “Ending Scene”, “Only Then”, etc., and songs of foreign singers, such as “Lost Stars”, “2U”, etc.
As a result, attention is focused on the records that Jungkook’s upcoming solo album would achieve. In fact, Jungkook is holding various records for solo songs although he has not yet released any solo album.
2022 FIFA Qatar World Cup soundtrack “Dreamers”, webtoon OST “Stay Alive”, “Left and Right” collaborating with Charlie Puth, and “King of Mask Singer” duet song “I’m in Love” are the only 4 songs registered on Jungkook’s Spotify account. However, Jungkook already surpassed 1.2 billion streams on this platform within 487 days (as of June 22nd). He also became the fattest K-pop solo artist to reach 1 billion streams on Spotify. In particular, the song “Left and Right” also achieved 600 million streams in the shortest time.
Although there is currently no confirmed information except for rumors, Jungkook’s talents and what he has shown all this time are enough to raise the public’s high expectations for his solo album. It’s not easy to predict what kind of music he will fill in his solo album. But it is certain that Jungkook will not disappoint fans with his performance regardless of the music he presents.
