Original, October 6:
Jungkook, a member of global pop culture icon BTS, just announced that he will be releasing his first-ever solo album Golden soon. It’s no surprise the artist has titled his album as such, given his diverse talents on stage, which has earned him the nickname “Hwang-geum Maknae” (meaning the Golden Youngest). Jungkook’s solo debut has been wildly anticipated, and it’s obvious he’s excited to show it to us too. The singer has already released two digital singles that fans can expect to see on the album. ‘Seven’ featuring American rapper Latto has been consistently topping charts all over the world since we got our first listen back in July. Just a few days ago, Jungkook also dropped ‘3D’, with a feature by rapper and singer Jack Harlow, that has been trending on YouTube and music charts globally.
As announced on global fandom platform WeVerse, the album is “inspired by Jungkook’s golden moments”. A teaser image of the album was also shared by BTS’ agency on the site. Golden will comprise 11 tracks in total, so fans can expect a lot of new Jung Kook music coming their way. The announcement on WeVerse also promised fans that Jungkook will be actively making various appearances and promoting his Golden album with special stage performances. So ARMYs, fret not. You’ll get to see your golden boy performing live soon enough.
Speaking of live shows, Jungkook will also be appearing on Music Bank on KBS on October 13, performing ‘3D’ ahead of the album’s release. The groovy R&B track captured listeners globally since its drop on September 29, and it has been claiming top spots on iTunes and on Spotify’s Global Top 50 playlist since.
Golden is available for pre-order starting today. The full album will be released on November 3.
