BTS' V, Jungkook Solo Albums Coming Soon: What's Taking So Long?

BTS has seven members, four of which have already launched their solo careers with matching solo albums. What about the remaining three?

The oldest member of the group, Jin, is out of the question since the 30-year-old KPOP star is currently completing his mandatory military service in South Korea.

However, there are still V and Jungkook, who both have several years ahead of them before they enlist.

As per Pop Base, there is news that V's solo album might be somewhere on the horizon and the wait might not be that long.

"V of BTS is reportedly set to release his debut solo album in the third quarter of 2023," the pop culture-dedicated Twitter account announced.

Fans flocked over to share their thoughts and suggestions on who the KPOP star should collaborate with in his debut solo album.

"With a Lady Gaga collab!" a fan wrote.

"Jazz album? Lezgoo!" Another guessed.

"It's his turn. He's coming," a fan wrote.

On the other hand, other fans are asking for an update regarding another BTS member whose solo launch is also just as highly anticipated: Jungkook.

Jungkook's Solo Album

According to reports, Jungkook has been seen going out and about with a myriad of producers and artists, which has only fueled the rumors that a solo album is coming soon.

In fact, the World Music Awards reported that Jungkook was seen in an Los Angeles studio alongside HYBE's chairman Bang Sihyuk and Scooter Braun.

Braun shared a picture of their meeting on Instagram and wrote, "It is always fun to witness history. These are the moments. This is a BIG one."

No one is for certain exactly what this "big one" will be about, but many are hopeful that it might be an album.

Unlike Jungkook, there have not been many updates on V, whose real name is Kim Taehyung. This is the first time the public has been informed that an album will be coming from the singer.

V's Solo Album

Despite the news coming few and far between, fans have been speculating non-stop on whether the news are true or not.

"So the precision is right. V's solo album is in the 3Q of the year wile JK's solo in the 4Q," a fan wrote, and included a picture of the speculated target release dates.

However, as of this writing, there are no confirmed information when the BTS members are slated to release their albums. Fans would just have to wait and see.
