"We know nothing about it yet": Fans go round and round suspecting Jimin to have filmed in Budapest for something

On January 24, 2024, a Twitter user, @PJM_data, shared that the autograph is hung in the Gangsikdang restaurant beside the table where the Filter singer sat. There's another photo frame hung beside the singer's autograph which reads "JIMIN's SEAT" and has a picture of the BTS idol from his FACE concept photoshoots.

The Korean BBQ restaurant owner from Budapest hailed the BTS idol as an outstanding son of South Korea and wrote on Instagram:

"Find Jimin !? Have a safe trip to the army~ Jimin~Born as an outstanding son of the country~~I was happy to meet you at Gang Restaurant."

Additionally, it was disclosed on Thursday, December 28, 2023, by the South Korean media site Daishin Securities that Jin of BTS would drop his first solo album in 2024. According to the media source, there may be two more solo projects from BTS members in 2024 in addition to Jin's solo album debut. That being said, it is important to note that there has been no official word of this from the band or its agency, BigHit Entertainment and HYBE Labels.

This further made the BTS ARMY conjecture that the other two BTS members could be Kim Namjoon aka RM and Park Jimin since both of them had previously mentioned working on new music and projects individually. Although the BTS idol already released a solo digital single Closer Than This on December 22, 2023, hence fans are uncertain if there will be another album release by him.

Nevertheless, fans were excited and reacted to the latest update from the Korean BBQ restaurant in Budapest hoping for good news from the singer soon.
