While fans around the world continue to count down the days until BTS is reunited, it seems Jungkook, the group's golden maknae, may have other plans in the works, and they don’t include a BTS comeback just yet.
Following his enlistment in the South Korean military on December 11, 2023, Jungkook temporarily stepped away from the spotlight, However, new buzz from the BTS fandom suggests that he could be preparing for a major solo move once his service ends on June 11, 2025.
Solo Tour Rumors Take Over the ARMY.
The speculation began swirling on March 27, when well-followed social media accounts like Pop Base and Jungkook Data posted cryptic updates, hinting at a possible announcement related to the star. Though no official details were shared, these posts were enough to send ARMY into a frenzy.

Almost instantly, fans took to social platforms like X and Instagram, sharing their excitement. Comments such as “Ready for the solo tour announcement,” and “Yayy can’t wait to see my Jungkook on stage,” quickly gained traction. Many fans expressed hope that this rumored tour would give them the chance to experience Jungkook’s solo artistry live, something that hasn’t happened on a global scale yet.
No Confirmation, Yet.
Despite the buzz, neither Jungkook nor his agency, BigHit Music, has issued a statement to confirm or deny the rumors. While a large portion of the fandom is convinced a solo tour is in the pipeline, others remain skeptical and are waiting for an official announcement, “I don’t want to get my hopes up,” one fan commented. “We’ve been through too many ‘maybes’ with no real news. I’ll wait for something official from BigHit.”
A Look at Jungkook's Solo Journey So Far.
Before enlisting, Jungkook had already laid the foundation for a thriving solo career. In 2023, he released his debut solo album GOLDEN, which included hits like "Seven" and "Standing Next to You." The project showcased a more mature and refined version of the BTS member, earning him both critical acclaim and commercial success.
The album’s global performance, coupled with his already immense popularity, suggests that a solo tour could be a massive hit. If the rumors are true, it would mark a significant chapter in Jungkook’s individual career, separate from BTS but still deeply connected to the loyal ARMY that has supported him from the beginning.
What Could a Jungkook Tour Look Like?
Should the tour materialize, fans are already imagining what it could entail. From high-energy performances and emotional ballads to jaw-dropping visuals and choreography, expectations are sky-high. With Jungkook known for his strong stage presence and vocal versatility, a solo world tour could easily rival those of major global pop stars.
Some ARMY members have even speculated potential cities and venues, with major markets like Los Angeles, London, Tokyo, and Seoul topping the wishlist.
The Bigger Picture.
While the excitement is palpable, it’s also worth noting that Jungkook’s rumored solo tour may be part of a larger rollout of BTS members’ individual activities before the group’s full reunion. As all seven members complete their military duties, fans can expect more solo content in the coming months.
Still, Jungkook’s rumored return to the stage might be the spark that reignites the group’s global momentum, even if it’s not a reunion just yet.
For now, the world waits. And if there’s one thing fans know for sure, it’s this: when Jungkook makes his comeback, it’s going to be big.
