Have you been waiting for Jeon Jungkook’s solo album seven days a week? Well, the long wait’s finally over, ARMYs; the BTS Jungkook solo album GOLDEN is set to arrive in a month. At midnight of October 4, KST, the announcement dropped across BTS’ official social media accounts. Quickly, ARMYs’ excitement went over the roof on X (formerly Twitter). In case you missed it, here are all the details for the upcoming BTS Jungkook solo album GOLDEN.
It’s Coming: Jungkook’s Solo Album GOLDEN
We wouldn’t be lying; we were dumbfounded when the news dropped. Mark your calendars for Jeon Jungkook’s first-ever solo album, ARMYs! GOLDEN is slated to release on November 3, 2023, at 1 PM KST. It’s certain that we will hear his earlier released tracks on the album Seven (feat Latto) and 3D (feat Jack Harlow).
Many possibly wondered how Jungkook’s album was called GOLDEN. We thought part of it came from his nickname, the golden maknae. Believe it or not, we weren’t wrong. In the BIGHIT MUSIC announcement, they wrote that ‘GOLDEN’ is inspired by Jungkook’s golden moments, being the BTS maknae and a solo artist.

If that information is hyping you already, you better prepare yourselves as this BTS Jungkook solo album GOLDEN is a full-length one. Yup, you read that right, ARMYs; JK’s GOLDEN album will be having 11 tracks, including the two chart-toppers he pre-released this year.
Will it be an all-English album?
As of this writing, BIGHIT MUSIC and Jungkook have been tight-lipped about any other album details.

Will the BTS Jungkook solo album GOLDEN be a success?
We know this doesn’t need to be a question because a whopping YES would always be the answer. With each BTS member’s solo debut, they never fail to give it all out, and so do the ARMYs. All the members came to break records successfully, album sales, music show wins, and even a solo tour, all thanks to the APOBANGPO love.
- Jungkook happens to be the last member to have a solo album debut, and we’re pretty sure that the rest of the BTS members and ARMYs have waited for this. Now that it’s coming on November 3, the hype and anticipation grew massively.
Jeon Jungkook already made a name for himself as a BTS member and a soloist. With the wins of his pre-release tracks, Seven and 3D, undoubtedly, this will be another success for BTS, the ARMYs, and, of course, the golden maknae himself, Jeon Jungkook.
