All you need to know about BTS' Jungkook and his solo activities

BTS' Jungkook, otherwise known as Jeon Jung-kook, is a South Korean singer who made his solo debut in July 2023 with the release of his first single, SEVEN feat. Latto. He followed it up with another collaborative single called 3D with the American singer and rapper, Jack Harlow, in September 2023.

Around November of the same year, he rolled out his first studio album, GOLDEN, which held the song, Standing Next To You, as its title track. He also collaborated with the American singer-songwriter and dancer, Usher, for a remix of the title track. Soon after the same, in December 2023, the idol enlisted in the military to fulfill his mandatory service.

He joined alongside his fellow band member, Jimin, under the Buddy System. This system, under the South Korean military, allows friends, siblings, and other acquaintances to enlist together for each other's support during the challenging period of military service. Regardless of his enlistment, the idol released a single in June 2024 called Never Let Go.

The song was released on the occasion of BTS' 11th debut anniversary, and it was also a tribute to the relationship he shares with ARMYs. In August, his travel reality show with Jimin, which documented the two members' trip together before their enlistment, Are You Sure?!, premiered on Disney+. The finale of the same was put forth in September, showcasing the members' moments in Jeju, New York, and Sapporo.

He also released a documentary film called I Am Still in September 2024. The film showcased the process of creation, challenges, and other key elements in the making of his first studio album, GOLDEN. Around June 2025, the idol and Jimin were discharged from the military following their successful completion of their tenure.

After he returned, Jungkook made his first public appearance at the Calvin Klein show for the New York Fashion Week 2025. On the other hand, all the BTS members are also currently working on the group's next comeback, which is scheduled to be released in Spring 2026.
