Jungkook, a member of the top idol group BTS (RM, Jin, Jimin, J-Hope, Suga, V, and Jungkook), celebrated his 10th debut anniversary while sharing the message he wants to convey through his new solo album 'GOLDEN'.
On the 3rd, at 1 PM, Jungkook released his first solo album 'GOLDEN' worldwide through various music streaming platforms. The album includes a total of 11 songs, including 'Standing Next to You.' Jungkook is expected to showcase a variety of genres with his unique and charming voice.
Leading up to the release, Jungkook introduced 'GOLDEN' through a video released by his agency, Big Hit Music. Jungkook explained, "With 'Golden' inspired by 'golden moments,' it includes the title track 'Standing Next to You,' followed by the solo single 'Seven (feat. Latto),' '3D (feat. Jack Harlow),' and seven other new songs in various genres, making it a total of 11 tracks. If you listen to the entire album in order, you can naturally feel the change in emotions."
Jungkook introduced the title track, saying, "The title track 'Standing Next to You' is a groovy retro funk song, and as the title suggests, it conveys the message of 'I will always be with you no matter what happens.' The performance for this song is quite impressive, even in my opinion. I prepared for it with great enthusiasm, and I'm confident in it, so I want to show it as soon as possible. I would be very grateful if you have high expectations for it."
Regarding his 10th debut anniversary, Jungkook said, "I can't believe it's been 10 years. It feels unreal. It seems like I've been very busy, and it's hard to choose one moment from the past. Nevertheless, standing on the concert stage, being together as one with ARMY, performing on stage, singing together, and sharing a lot of energy and communication with our fans, these moments make me the happiest."
He continued, "I think it's about continually challenging myself on many stages and in various genres as an artist or a singer. Some might call it ambition, but I still think there are so many things I haven't tried. I will keep running my own path until I truly recognize and satisfy myself. I also want to become a great artist who can fill a solo concert for about three hours, and the same goes for the group. We want to show our best and say, 'Let's go higher,' to our fans, because we want to achieve together."
So, Jungkook is expressing his gratitude for the support of the fans (ARMY) and sharing his aspirations for the future.
