For over a decade, Jungkook has been open about one of his biggest ambitions outside of BTS, a solo world tour. From pre-debut interviews to international talk shows, he has consistently shared his vision of performing on his own for hours in front of a crowd.
Now, in 2025, fans are watching closely as signs point toward that dream finally taking shape. After completing military service in June, whispers are that the BTS maknae will make his solo comeback and world tour by the end of this year. All members will wrap up solo activities by spring 2026, as BTS activities begin after that.
Fans are now counting down the minutes until BIGHIT MUSIC announces his debut solo tour. Three members, Suga, j-hope, and Jin, have already wrapped their solo tour. It is high time Jungkook gets a global tour, and fans are very vocal about it. Here’s every time the Seven singer himself has shared his feelings about going on tour as a soloist.
Early Years (2013–2015)
Jungkook’s desire for solo performances began long before BTS became a global name.
In his early days as a K-pop idol in 2013, he said:
When I become successful as BTS, I want to invite my fans and hold a solo concert or event!
Two years later, he expressed his desire for a solo stage:
I want my own solo stage too. I want my first solo stage to be in a concert and to do a song that can show off my vocal skills. Wait and see guys, I could have my solo stage next time.
Even then, he wasn’t just talking about short performances; he was envisioning something personal and musically ambitious.
2020-2022
By 2020, BTS was a global phenomenon, and Jungkook’s comments reflected a shift from dreaming to planning. In an interview, he said,
I hope I get to the point where I can perform alone for three or four hours in a venue full of people.
He also began delivering extended solo stages during BTS concerts, performing songs like Euphoria and My Time with the kind of presence that made fans believe a full solo tour was possible. While he didn’t directly confirm plans in these years, his performances felt like previews.
Post-Golden Era (2023)
Everything changed with the release of Jungkook’s debut solo album Golden in November 2023. Promotion for the album became a platform for him to talk openly about touring.
On The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, he admitted,
Of course, I want to do a world tour as a solo artist, but I don’t think I have enough songs for that. So I want to complement them more and make more songs, and maybe when I’m ready, I can do the world tour in full swing.
On Weverse Live, he was more direct:
I want to have my own concert too. I’d like to do a concert, a three-hour concert, that I can fill up by myself, and I‘d love to be that kind of singer, that kind of artist. I want to have my own concert too.
During his promotional interview with Ryan Seacrest, he expressed his wish to hold a solo tour.
Fans also spotted an Easter egg in the “Standing Next to You” music video, a poster reading “JK WORLD TOUR”, which fueled even more speculation.
All the Clues Pointing to Jungkook Solo Tour
With BTS completing military service in June 2025, rumors of a Jungkook tour have exploded. But the rollout has been anything but typical.
Soundcat revealed golden custom in-ear monitors for Jungkook in July, a move BTS members have made before starting solo tours. He returned to Instagram with his patented logo, which fans read as part of a solo era rebrand.
A Ticketmaster artist page for Jungkook appeared, though no dates have been announced.
Leaked “tour schedules” listing 20 countries went viral but were quickly debunked. Venue scouting rumors in Mexico and Indonesia have circulated without confirmation.
Some fans have grown impatient, even staging protest trucks outside HYBE to urge him to “go solo now.” Others say the timing is strategic, with the possibility that Jungkook’s tour will be coordinated alongside BTS’s group comeback schedule.
This isn’t the first time Jungkook has spoken about touring solo, but 2025 is the first time the clues have been this tangible. The combination of new branding and professional tour gear makes fans feel that the announcement is near.
Meanwhile, all BTS members are in the US, working with top music producers, including Charlie Puth, on a new BTS album.
