It seems that Jungkook will be the sixth member of BTS to debut as a solo artist.
Reports of BTS’ Jungkook debuting as a soloist made entertainment headlines on Sunday, June 4 after Korean media outlet Sports Chosun said he is preparing to release an album on July 14, which would contain a song recorded in English.
His label Big Hit Music has yet to confirm or deny the reports in their response to the reports. However, as it stated to Korean media, “We will make an announcement once the release schedule for Jungkook’s solo album has been confirmed.”
Jungkook debuted as the center, main vocalist, and lead dancer of BTS in June 2013. If the reports are confirmed, this makes him the sixth member to pursue a solo music career after J-Hope, Jin, RM, Jimin, and Suga.
The BTS member released a handful of solo songs throughout his career including “My You,” “Still With You,” “Euphoria,” and “My Time,” among many others.
Among his recent songs as a solo artist include “Left and Right” with American singer-songwriter Charlie Puth and “Dreamers,” which were both released in 2022. EDV
