With Jungkook’s military discharge approaching in a few months, fans are calling for more solo opportunities for the BTS star.
He has established himself as a solo artist and a global pop star with the release of his debut album “GOLDEN”, dropped in November 2023. The golden maknae not only topped major international charts but also set some very hard-to-break records for soloists.
Jungkook debuted as a vocalist for BTS back in 2013. His solo fans are pretty unhappy that, after all this time, he has only dropped one album. Given his incredible talent, they feel he should be releasing a lot more music.
He topped the prestigious Billboard HOT 100 with his first solo single “Seven” in July 2023. Later, his track “3D” (ft. Jack Harlow) and lead single “Standing Next To You” entered the chart at No. 5.
Fans have been upset for a while now because Jungkook had the option to postpone his enlistment for two years but was made to join early. They feel he was robbed of precious time to build on the success of his single “Seven” and his album “GOLDEN“.
It was previously revealed that Usher invited Jungkook to be a guest performer at the Super Bowl Halftime Show in February 2024. However, since he enlisted in December 2023, many fans feel he was denied a historic opportunity.
After the HYBE’s controversial internal monitoring report was leaked last year, it made fans furious that the agency was aware of the hate campaigns against Jungkook and did not do anything about it.
At the time, fans were urging the “Still With You” singer to leave HYBE and BTS and pursue a solo career.
Now, fans are currently trending hashtags such as “JUNGKOOK SOLO OST” and “JUNGKOOK SOLO WORLD TOUR” on X. They are appealing for more opportunities for him outside of BTS and want to see him shine on his own as an individual artist.
They are also demanding more solo albums, projects, and a world tour as soon as he is discharged from the military on June 11.
In related news, BTS will reportedly resume activities with a comeback album and tour in the latter half of 2025.
