Jin’s Game-Changing Comment
The trio performed their unit song “Jamais Vu,” and when j-hope jokingly asked about the missing second verse, Jin teased that it would only happen when Jungkook holds his solo concert. The youngest smiled and agreed, hinting they’ll gather again at that time.
This wasn’t just casual banter—coming from Jin, who recently completed his own successful solo world tour, the comment felt deliberate. Fans immediately connected the dots, recalling that both Jin and j-hope teased their tours before official announcements.
The Golden Evidence: Custom Mic & In-Ears
Jungkook appeared with a brand-new golden microphone and matching custom in-ears, both featuring his personal logo inspired by his debut solo album “Golden.” The significance? Every BTS member who received custom equipment from Soundcat went on tour—SUGA, j-hope, and Jin all followed this pattern.
The sleek golden design matches his blockbuster album aesthetic perfectly, suggesting a “Golden Tour” could be on the horizon. Social media erupted with one fan posting: “I’m sorry what?!?? A Jungkook solo world tour?!?”
The Timeline Makes Perfect Sense
With Jungkook discharged from military service on June 11, 2025, and BTS planning a full group comeback in spring 2026, there’s a strategic window for a solo tour. Reports suggest the tentatively titled “Golden Tour” could run between September and December 2025, giving him time to reconnect with ARMY before the group reunion.
Fellow members Jin and j-hope both embarked on successful solo tours immediately after their military discharge, setting a precedent that Jungkook seems poised to follow.
What We Know About the Potential Tour
While HYBE and BigHit Music haven’t officially confirmed anything, several clues suggest preparations are underway. Earlier reports mentioned “COMING SOON” teasers on ticketing platforms, and in-ear monitor brand Soundcat confirmed custom equipment for him.
Potential tour stops reportedly include major cities like Los Angeles, New York, Jakarta, Mexico City’s Estadio GNP Seguros (capacity 65,000), and Bangkok. The “Golden” album’s distinctive visual aesthetic would likely influence the tour’s stage design, incorporating cutting-edge LED screens and innovative lighting.
Jungkook’s Solo Success
The speculation isn’t baseless. Jungkook’s solo debut album “Golden” dominated global charts, with “Seven” surpassing 2.3 billion Spotify streams—a historic achievement for an Asian artist. The album spawned multiple chart-toppers including “Standing Next to You” and collaborations with artists like Kid Laroi, Latto, and Charlie Puth.
His viral moment at Jin’s encore—where he performed “Standing Next to You”—only intensified tour demands. Fans want the full “Golden” experience with proper production, setlists, and those unforgettable vocals live.
ARMY’s Mixed Reactions
While excitement dominates social media, some fans expressed concern about tour timing, asking: “How is my wallet supposed to survive Jin, JK, AND BTS all at once?!” Others emphasized that wanting a solo tour doesn’t mean separating Jungkook from BTS—it means giving him the same opportunities every member deserves.
