"Looks like an invitation": Fans eagerly await Jungkook's solo album as promotional schedule sets internet abuzz

What intrigued fans even more was the "COMING SOON" spaces on the promotion schedule of GOLDEN under the dates of November 6, 8, 16, and 20, 2023. They can't help but speculate what Jungkook has in store for them.

X users @JK_AYR and @notpannkpop_, speculated that the empty slot on November 6 and 20 could be due to the scheduled 2023 MTV Europe Music Awards and the 2023 Billboard Music Awards on November 5 and 19 (ET), respectively.

This has also led many to wonder whether the SEVEN singer will perform on these two grand stages.

Given that Jungkook has often hinted at his desire to perform on as many stages as possible before he enlists in the South Korean military to fulfill his mandatory service of 18 months, the BTS ARMY is now speculating whether the "COMING SOON" on the promotional schedule has any ties to the BTS maknae's stage performances.

Moreover, BigHit Entertainment posted the official promotion schedule in a green and golden color palette, giving it the look and feel of an invitation card.

Fans are now rejoicing and commented on the same to express their enthusiasm for the upcoming album:

Jungkook of BTS has already performed his debut solo single, SEVEN (feat. Latto), at Good Morning America's Summer Series Concert on July 14, 2023. On September 23, 2023, he performed the aforementioned track along with Still With You at the Global Citizen Festival. He also performed Euphoria, Butter, Dynamite, and Permission To Dance at the event.

Following the official announcement of GOLDEN on October 3, 2023, many fans reminisced about the time when Kim Namjoon, the group's leader, coined the nickname "golden maknae" for Jungkook in recognition of his prowess in all endeavors.

According to current data, GOLDEN has already achieved two No.1 positions with SEVEN on the Spotify Global chart. Additionally, SEVEN now has over 1.4 billion streams on Spotify globally, boosting GOLDEN even before its release.

Jungkook will announce his military enlistment date by the end of 2023 along with his other remaining team members, Kim Namjoon, Park Jimin, and Kim Taehyung. Furthermore, BTS members have already renewed their contract for the second time with BigHit Music, operated under HYBE Corporations, on September 20, 2023, which has heightened fan anticipation for the group to resume their activities in 2025.
