[Kpop Planet News] BTS Jungkook Releases "GOLDEN" Album Preview
BTS' multi-talented "golden maknae" Jungkook is teasing his debut solo album!
On October 30, Jungkook released a preview for his upcoming solo album "GOLDEN", which will be out on November 3 1PM KST. The 3-minute highlight medley features snippets from all 11 songs in the album, including "Seven" (feat. Latto) and "3D" (feat. Jack Harlow), which were released back in July and September respectively.
Jungkook also dropped remix versions of the two tracks: "Seven (feat. Latto) - David Guetta Remix" and "3D (feat. Jack Harlow) - MK Remix" on the same day. Many ARMY showed their approval on the remixes, saying that they were proud of Jungkook to have collaborated with the two big names.
The two songs have been receiving immense popularity since their release. "Seven" has surpassed Miley Cyrus' record for Flower and become the fastest song to hit 1 billion streams on Spotify in only 108 days. The song has also previously set a new record for the longest-running No. 1 hit by an Asian singer on Billboard.
Jungkook's second solo "3D" debuted at No. 5 on Billboard Hot 100 earlier this month, making him the first BTS member to have more than one song reaching top 10 on the chart. "3D" has currently been placing on the British Official Singles Top 100 chart in its fourth consecutive weeks, alongside his collaborative single with The Kid LAROI and Central Cee "Too Much", which landed on the chart at No. 10 last Friday.
According to Big Hit Music, "GOLDEN" is based on Jungkook's "golden moment", and Jungkook has put all his effort in the album production by personally selecting all the tracks in the album. In addition, many well-known musicians around the world were involved in the album production, including Ed Sheeran, Shawn Mendes, David Stewart, and more. French producer and rapper DJ Snake even participated in the album as a featured artist.
Meanwhile, Jungkook will be holding a fan showcase "Jungkook Golden Live On Stage" on November 20 8PM KST at Jangchung Municipal Stadium in Seoul to kick start the promotion of "GOLDEN". The BTS' member will be performing the tracks in the album, and will take the opportunity to communicate closely with fans by sharing some behind-the-scenes stories during the album production in the event. The showcase will be live-streamed for those who cannot join physically.
Apart from showcase, Jungkook will also be meeting fans in different occasions such as FaceTime events in support of the release of the album.
