BTS has made history as all seven members have been listed on Billboard's Hot 100 chart, making their official debut as soloists. They have become the first Asian act to achieve this incredible feat. For those unversed, in June 2022, the Proof singers decided to take a break from group activities and focus on their solo endeavors.
J-hope became the first BTS member to release his debut solo album, Jack in the Box. This was followed by Jin's single The Astronaut in collaboration with Coldplay. Bangtan's leader RM released his poignant album Indigo in December, and Jimin debuted with FACE in March.
SUGA released the concluding chapter to his AGUST D mixtape in the form of D-DAY, and Jungkook released his tantalizing single SEVEN in collaboration with Han So-hee and American rapper Latto. Finally, V is all set to make his solo debut with Layover on September 8, 2023. He has released two pre-release songs - Rainy Days and Love Me Again.
