Speculation is mounting around BTS' Jungkook, with reports suggesting that a significant revelation may be announced later in 2025. On March 27, Pop Core, a popular X fan-based account, indicated that the artist could share major news ahead of BTS's anticipated global tour in 2026. This theory has been further bolstered by the fan account Jungkook Data.

On April 23, @DCECOFICIAL1 teased once again that the 27-year-old could be preparing for a global solo tour. The source noted that it could run from October of this year to January 2026. Interest in this theory grew after a listing for the singer appeared on Ticketmaster, sparking further discussion.

Fans also pointed out similarities to BTS member j-hope, whose solo shows were preceded by a similar Ticketmaster listing following his military service. As of now, there has been no official word from BigHit Music, Jungkook, or any related representatives, though fans remain alert for new updates.


BTS Jungkook’s GOLDEN: The Moments exhibit in New York wrapped up on May 11, 2025. Staged at 30 Wall Street, it displayed memorable scenes from his GOLDEN record. The gallery earned glowing praise, with a 4.9/5 score and all 22 viewing windows fully booked.
