Fans have been eagerly waiting for the solo debuts of Jungkook and Taehyung, the only two members who have not yet made their solo debuts. However, according to a recent report by Hanwha Investment & Securities, the wait might be over soon.
Hanwha Investment & Securities is a leading financial company in South Korea that analyzes the performance and prospects of various entertainment agencies, including HYBE, the parent company of BTS. In their latest corporate analysis report, they revealed some predictions about what is going to happen in K-Pop in the coming months.
According to their report, Taehyung will release his solo album in the third quarter of 2023 (July, August, September). Jungkook will release his solo album in the fourth quarter of 2023 (October, November, December). However, take this information with a grain of salt as this is only a prediction and not 100% confirmed.
Fans were thinking that Jungkook will be the next BTS member to make his solo debut as he was spotted recording new music in LA. However, according to this latest development, Taehyung will be the next BTS member to release his debut solo album.
Taehyung and Jungkook have both released solo songs before, such as “Euphoria”, “Left & Right”, “Dreamers” and “Stay Alive” for Jungkook and “Winter Bear”, “Sweet Night” and “Christmas Tree” for Taehyung. However, these songs were not part of official solo albums or projects.
In early 2022, it was revealed that BTS is beginning its second chapter. In this new chapter, all the members will be enlisting in the military one by one. In addition, before they enlist, each member will make his solo debut. So far, all other members have made their solo debuts except Jungkook and Taehyung.
J-Hope was the first BTS member to go solo as he released his debut album “Jack In The Box” in 2022, which received critical acclaim and commercial success. Jin released his solo song “The Astronaut” for his fans before he left for the military.
Jin was the first BTS member to enlist in December 2022. After him, J-Hope went to the military in April this year. Both of them are expected to return by 2025. The other members will enlist according to their age order.
The solo debuts of Jungkook and Taehyung are highly anticipated by fans and critics alike. Both of them have shown their versatility and talent as singers, songwriters and producers.
It is not clear yet what kind of genre or concept Jungkook and Taehyung will choose for their solo albums. However, fans can expect them to showcase their unique personalities and musical colors through their work. They can also look forward to hearing more of their amazing vocals and rap skills.
