BTS Jungkook Admits He 'Struggled' With Solo Debut? 'I Feel More Pressure Now'

BTS' youngest member, Jungkook, has finally flown out of the nest and is flying solo for the first time-However, it is not as easy as he initially thought it would be.

In his interview with Weverse Magazine, the "Seven" singer admitted that he struggled quite a bit with debuting solo because he is so used to working in collaboration with other people and artists.

"You know, I meet a lot of different people when I'm working with the group, whether intentionally or not," the KPOP idol began. "I used to go home and get some rest after finishing up work, but it's not like that lately, so I've been feeling adrift."

Jungkook is the youngest member of the Superstar KPOP group, BTS, and much like any other family and group, he is well taken care of by his "hyungs," which translates to older brothers in English.

"I've been taking it easy, and now I want to be around other people-like hanging out with the other members or someone else. I want to hear from other people," Jungkook continued.

Jungkook Finally Calls the Shots with 'Seven'

According to reports, Jungkook realized that the reason why he struggled with learning the ropes of having a solo career is rooted in his position as the youngest member of BTS.

"I think the responsibility that comes from how I interact with other people and the center of my thinking have both changed," the KPOP idol explained. "There are a lot of decisions I have to make that I can't just sidestep by saying, 'Ah, I don't know.'"

The seven-membered KPOP boy group is led by RM, and most of their songs are produced by rapper Suga; Jungkook did not lack in support and people to decide for him.

"I wasn't usually the first in the group to speak up but now there's a lot I need to and can do. I think I naturally changed as a result.

"[...] Sometimes I feel the pressure in moments like that...I feel more pressure now than when I'm with the group."

Jungkook Debuts Solo

Jungkook recently debuted solo with his highly anticipated song "Seven," and fans are hoping that an album from the KPOP star is somewhere in the horizon.

According to reports, there are rumors that Jungkook might be releasing an all-English album after the success and attention "Seven" brought in. However, the KPOP idol and his label are yet to address the rumors.
