Jeon Jungkook has taken the music industry by storm after he debuted as a solo artist on July 14, 2023, with his debut solo single SEVEN, which featured the American Big Energy rapper Latto. Additionally, he made headlines on November 2, 2023, as The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon announced that the Euphoria singer from BTS would be appearing on the show as a guest on November 6, 2023.
Fans are enthralled beyond measure as the 26-year-old singer will be performing solo for the first time on Jimmy Fallon's famed talk show. A fan, @DunaH2O, expressed their happiness regarding the news by tweeting "FINALLY" on X.
Within less than four months of releasing his first single, Jungkook has already broken nearly every music record to date. This includes winning an MTV VMA award in September 2023, dominating the Billboard charts for weeks, outperforming prominent musicians like Miley Cyrus and Jason Aldean, and racking up over 1 billion Spotify streams on GOLDEN even before the album's release.

According to MTV's official website, Jungook was originally scheduled to perform on November 5, KST (November 5, GMT), at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2023. But global concerns, particularly the Israel-Palestine conflict, forced the cancellation of the award presentation, tossing the performance of the singer out of the window. The news that they would miss his live concert on GOLDEN devastated the fan base.
However, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon announced that the SEVEN singer would make an appearance on their show on November 6 KST, which ignited hopes for the ARMY as they would finally get to see Jungkook perform live on GOLDEN.
Meanwhile, HYBE Labels released the official teaser of the title track from Jungkook's solo album, Standing Next to You, on their official YouTube channel, which allegedly stars Emma Corrin from the popular show The Crown.
