Jungkook — who is known as “Golden Maknae” aka “Golden Youngest” of BTS — is aiming to highlight his trajectory from a band member on BTS to a solo star on his debut album. It also features collaborations with stars like Jack Harlow, Latto and DJ Snake, while producers on the album includeEd SheeranandShawn Mendes.
A press release also states that “through the order of the tracks, Jungkook expresses the flow of emotions that follow the changes in relationships. The first half of the album introduces songs with light-hearted melodies portraying someone falling in love, whereas the latter half lays out songs that feel heavier, dealing with emotions following a breakup.”
In July, the singermade his solo debutonGood Morning America’s Summer Concert Series.
Before the skies opened up over New York City, forcing an early end to the show, the youngest member BTS performed three songs in front of an audience of devoted fans — many of whom lined up overnight or even camped out for a chance to see the singer in Central Park.
